Dear Diary...

These past few weeks in AS Media have been very succesful. I began the course by partaking in a Preliminary Task. This involved creating a magazine designed for secondary school students. We had no limitation on the target audience or the idea of the magazine however, so I decided to aim my magazine at year 9 students, preparing to start their GCSE's. The second task, and the first that would contribute to our coursework, was similar product analysis. I analysed an edition of NME, Q, and Kerrang! as these were the magazines most similar to the magazine I aim to create by the end of the course. We had to analyse a front cover, contents page, and a double page spread for each of the magazines, because these are the 3 pages we will be creating in the final product.
