Brief

This blog is devoted to my AS media project.

In order to complete this project I had to carry out numerous tasks to help me with my research, planning, construction and supporting account. For my research tasks I had to carry out a quantitative audience survey, annotated examples of existing texts, audience profile and a magazine history research. This helped me to establish what mode of address I would use for my magazine, based on my demographic. It also helped me to develop my understanding of codes and conventions within magazines, which would eventually help me with my construction. 

The next step was the planning of my project. This included rough designs, photo-shoot and magazine templates. This helped me to prepare for my construction, in order for everything to run smoothly. 

For my construction I had to carry out a preliminary task, this involved constructing a front cover and a contents page for a school magazine in order to prepare me for my final construction. My main task involved constructing a music magazine for a chosen demographic. This included a front cover, contents page and a double page spread.

After finishing my final product, I could move on to the last stage which was the supporting account. I had to answer seven questions regarding my magazine in order to show I fully understood the task.
