Front Covers

This is what the exam board are expecting and most of this is achieved through your photoshoot! You need to stop being lazy! A levels are not achieved in the classroom time they are achieved by hard work, ambition and a drive to succeed. I've never ever encountered such complacency from a whole cohort of students. I genuinely have yet to see a student who has gone outside of the school building to take their photographs.

I don't know what you're playing at, I really really don't.

Construction: Print

  • Front Covers Most successful element of  the construction.
  • Contents Pages - least successful (image use and form/conventions)
    • Think about the layout and specifics of font size.
    • Think about the number of images needed.
  • Double Page spreads - variable but some issues with rule of thirds.
    • No magazine has the same image on all pages and never in the same clothes! MAKE YOUR MODEL BRING A CHANGE OF CLOTHES.
  • More variety in the need for costume, pose and background for images.
  • Requirement for AT LEAST FIVE images across the three pages
  • NO FOUND IMAGES -need to include all originals
    • Can use logos from twitter and facebook
    • If you want to use logos from Reading or Leeds then if you contact them for permission and screen grab the email you send. 
  • Avoidance of friends/facebook shots - needs to be actual photos taken for the actual brief
    • ALL IMAGES NEED TO BE SHOT FOR PURPOSE: your holiday snaps 2 years ago were not shot for this purpose...be sensible.
  • Focus on the finer details - spellings/copy size/register/font style and colour.
