Magazine lesson 2: Brain Storming Ideas

In today’s lesson we where put into groups of 4, consisting of me, Michael, Derek and Zeneath. In our groups we were given a sheet of A3 paper and some coloured markers. Then Derek was given the pen to write down our ideas as we told him about what we thought. We said such thing as what type of music we would be doing and the name we would have for our magazine cover. We came to the conclusion to do two types of music genres, which were Funky House and Hip Hop. We came to a group conclusion to call our magazine "Mix It Up!" The reason we decided to call it this name is because it has a mixture of music genres. We decided to price our magazine at £3.99 because it would be released twice a week. The magazine will contain such things as fashion chase, interviews, album releases and so forth. Our Main target audience would be 16 – 20 year olds and will be aimed at both male and female. We was then taken into the Mac room for another tutorial but this time on how to use Photoshop, we was taught basic things as how to cut out images, how to save our work, how to colour in the background and other simple things like that. We also received our media cards.
