This is for my AS media coursework

1. When I initially started to make
my magazine I decided to start
with the contents page; I had a
few images I wanted to use so I
started by placing them into
InDesign and then worked
around it. Here you can see how
I have separated my contents
page into columns such as
Cover Stories and News. These
columns adhere to the codes
and conventions of a magazine
As well as this I made sure it
was clear to the audience that
this was a contents page by
adding a masthead and then a
subheading showing the date
and issue number.

2. I proceeded to start with
the feature article. S this
was the beginning page I
decided to make the image
rather large to indicate it
was the start. His name in
large letters also indicates
this. As I had written my
article I knew what the
initial paragraph of my
article would be allowing
me to write it as one of the
first steps.

3. I was interested in adding
another form of feature
article which would allow me
to show off the Images I
collected. I started by picking
an image I liked and made it
full size, this would allow me
to add as much text as I want
or be creative.

4. As my initial draft got
busier I then focused
on my contents page a
little more, I filled in
the columns with the
sell lines I had already
made. I added more
images and page
numbers to stick to the
codes and conventions
of a magazine.

5. Once I finished
the contents
page I then
moved onto the
feature article. I
filled in the
columns with
text, adjusted
the size of the
photos and text
and then add
two pull out
quotes in order
for it to look
busier.

6. I filled in the rest of the
article and added a few
more photos and pull out
quotes. This particular way
of having an article is
common within magazines .
The drop caps is also seen
which I have used for all my
new paragraphs.

7. I then finished off my feature
article while still
concentrating on adding
photos and adding text.
