This document outlines Cerys Mee's choices for their response brief. They chose to do four pages of a regional magazine along with a website and billboard advertisement for the magazine. For the magazine, Cerys feels their past experience designing magazine pages will help them create effective photography and layout. They decided on a lifestyle magazine genre to allow for variety in content like music, fashion, and locations. For their ancillary pieces, Cerys selected a website since they can easily design it using Wix, and a billboard since they are comfortable using Paint.Net and billboards are a common form of magazine advertising.

CERYS MEE

2. MY CHOSEN BRIEF
 The four pages of an original regional magazine together with two of the
following three options:
 A radio advertisement for the magazine
 Two hyperlinked pages from the magazine’s website
 A billboard advertisement for the magazine

3. MY CHOSEN BRIEF 2
 The brief I have chosen to do is the four pages of a regional magazine. This is
because I have more experience in doing a magazine from my AS level media
coursework in which I did a Front Cover, a Contents Page, and a Double Page
Spread. I really enjoyed doing this as a project and I feel that I did quite well
in it. Also from there I feel that I have more to learn and to do in this
magazine that I know that I didn’t do in my previous magazine that I can
integrate in this magazine and do better.
 I also feel that because of my experience last year, I can do more effective
things that I will be able to apply to this magazine. For example, now that my
previous magazine had a lot of a process for the photography, I will be able to
take better and more effective and inspired shots for this magazine for all the
pages. I think I can make it really interesting and take some good shots.

4. MY INITIAL IDEAS
 I have chosen to do a lifestyle regional magazine. I feel that this would be a
good kind of genre for me because there are lots of things you can include
into this. I was originally going to choose something of the music kind of
genre but with lifestyle I can include things to do with music, like festivals,
inside the magazine. But after looking at lots of different regional magazines,
the lifestyle genre is more like the kinds of magazines there are in public
places. It also means I can include a variety of things that I like and are able to
include like make-up, country walks, cafes, restaurants, fair grounds, locations,
photography, fashion etc. There is such a variety I can include which means
that there will be a lot to choose from but it will also mean that it will make
the designing and photography progress more interesting.

5. MY ANCILLARIES
 I have chosen to do the website and the billboard. I have chosen to do these
because for the radio advertisement, you would need certain equipment and
certain sound effects and different people for the various voiceovers.
Unfortunately I do not have the time and the equipment to be able to do the
radio advertisement.
 I have chosen to do a website for one of the ancillaries because I feel like there
are loads of different programmes that make it easier for me to do a website
where I can set the format and put In what I need to. For example the
programme I feel would be good is Wix. This is a good programme because it
lets you insert what you want and then it will let you pick the format and will let
you make the hyperlinks.
 I have also chosen to do a billboard as the other ancillary. This is because I am
comfortable with using Paint.Net and it is easy to use. Also, pretty much
everywhere you go you will see a billboard for a magazine. This will be a big
help because it means I will be able to get a lot of inspiration for the format and
for the general look of it to make it appealing and attractive and eye catching.
