Introductory

     

                                    

    Welcome, my name is Kasharma and this is my first blog post. For my Media Studies foundation portfolio project I have chosen to create a 4 page magazine. This magazine will consist of a cover as well as a contents page and double-page spread. I have chosen to opt out of working in a group and will work individually to create this magazine. 

     I will utilize my editing, photo shopping, and artistic skills to create the content for my magazine, along with my experience in collecting data to gauge the interest of my audience. Throughout this whole process I hope to be able to understand and explain how media products format and communicate meanings and how to use media study jargon appropriately.

Main Task: 

• I will create a magazine with a front page, contents, and a feature article of two pages. I will solely be responsible for producing my own edition of the magazine with a consistent housing style. 
• All images and texts are my own original products and will be kept to a minimum of 4 images 
• This task is a preliminary exercise to build up my skills with equipment and understanding of conventions. 

    This blog will be a documentation of the research, planning, and production towards the final product of my magazine, and will include blog posts about such things. It will also include a reflection of its outcome and creation process.
