Dear Moderator

Welcome to my AS Media Studies blog. I have created a college magazine as a preliminary task, and created a music magazine for my main task.

My research and planning began September 2011
My magazine production began January 2012
I then did my evaluation in March 2012

My completed magazine is below

I hope you enjoy reading this.

Thank you.

Research and Planning: My magazine so far

Research and Planning: Plan for the week

Today I:
  • Took model test shots
  • Began creating my magazine cover
I also plan to:
  • Continue in the production of my magazine, with the basics of the contents page

Research and Planning: Model Test Shots

This model could be used within my magazine. The hair is of an unusual colour, and the dress sense is of predominantly dark colours, with just one that stands out; red. My genre research tells me that she wouldn't be able to be the main focus of my magazine, yet she could be featured as an extra.


This person could not be featured in my magazine, the dress sense is not well styled to a rock magazine.

This model would work very well on my magazine front cover, as his style is very moody looking, which would be very impressive on a magazine cover, he is showing here that he can pose well for pictures too, and his features all fit the criteria for a rock-star image.

This model would not be able to be used. She i too innocent looking, and her style is of a different kind to rock musicians.

This model's image is not right for a rock magazine either, she styles herself differently to how the rock scene looks.

This model would work very well within my magazine. The way she is dressed here would not work, however if she were to dress in rock clothes, for example band merchandise, then she would fit in very well with my magazine. She could not feature prominently on the front cover however, as genre research tells me this would usually be a male.
