Main Task Brief

The following is the brief we were given at the beginning of the year for the main task. 

Main task: the front page, contents and double page spread of a new music magazine (if done as group task, each member of the group to produce an individual edition of the magazine, following the same house style).

All images and text used must be original, produced by the candidate(s), minimum of four images per candidate. 

The presentation of the research, planning and evaluation may take the form of any one, or combination of two or more, of the following:

• a presentation using slideshow software such as Powerpoint;
• a blog or website;
• a podcast;
• a DVD with 'extras'

I have obviously chosen to use a blog as the form of presenting my work, since that is what you are currently reading from.

Preliminary Task Brief

The following is the brief we were given at the beginning of the year for the preliminary task.

Preliminary exercise: using DTP and an image manipulation program, produce the front page of a new school/college magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close-up plus some appropriately laid-out text and a masthead. Additionally you must produce a mock-up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate your grasp of DTP.
