Print brief research and planning

Image
  Research and planning blog tasks 1) Find at least  five  music magazine front covers  (either current or former magazines as many have stopped their print editions) aimed at a similar target audience to your project (mainstream music audience) and research music magazine key conventions. For each one, pick out  one design idea, convention  or  image/text style  that you could use in your own print work. A few examples to start you off: 1. Masthead: T he title of a newspaper or magazine at the head of the first or editorial page.

Statement of Intent feedback and learner response

Some reference to gender/masculinity puts this into level 2. Audience is addressed but perhaps needs more reference to the brief. Media industries and digital convergence address...

The  original example from the summer for music video treatments can be found here . Scene 1: Opening shot of Obaida in the toilets looking at himself in the mirror. Putting on his boxing gloves and shoes (sponsorship) looks a bit anxious and afraid from the looks on his face.   Scene 2: Him coming out the toilets and getting into the ring. About to fight his opponent a big guy who is twice his size.  Scene 3: Obaida and his opponent start fighting. Obaida losing the match getting beaten up badly some spit comes flying out from his mouth. Scene 4: Obaida loses the match and gets knocked out. After the match everyone begins talking an...
