Preliminary Task: Desing Ideas:

It was on the fifth of September that I was informed in my media lesson on the Preliminary task. This task consists of one creating a school magazine (that must consist of a front and contents page.) it is on this post that I will share to you some of my ideas for the task ahead:

The Masthead:

Here are some ideas I've had over the past few days of what the masthead for my Haydon school could be:

- Haydon

- The Stag

- The Haydon Times

- Haydon News

- HAN

After some thought however, I feel that HAN (Haydon Academy News) is my personal favourite; this seems to be short as sweet, as well as easy to remember- the more convincing and intriguing, the better!

Photos:

Last media lesson I was given some very good advice, that I would like to share or remind you fellow bloggers;

'When creating a magazine, the more photos the better'

I could not agree more with this advice. You look in any professional magazine, from Top of the Pops to Total Film, and they will have a multitude of photographs all helping to illustrate points. Here are some interesting photos that I took that have a strong chance of being front page on HAN:

Studies get to Haydon student as he sleeps on the job

Or...

Canteen takes advice from Wonka as they invest in Plum flavoured wallpaper 

You get the general idea.

Colour Scheme:

My thought of the colour of the colour scheme were simply sticking with the same colours that are found on the Haydon uniform- shades of blue, white and gold. These are simple attractive colours that I think will also add a good consistency with the students.
