Homework Task for Foundation Portfolio

Hi kiddies,


Here is the homework task I set in yesterday's lesson. It is due next Wednesday during lesson time.


Part 1
Bring in a magazine with a similar target audience and house style to the one you are planning to create. It does not have to be exactly the same, but it should have enough in common in terms of content, style and audience to help you with ideas for your own work.


Part 2
Mind map as many ideas for articles as you can. Be specific. Keep in mind your intended audience and house style. Include the following information:


Type of artist/band featured and the type of article (interview, feature etc)
Summary of article
Style and tone of writing (use of slang/language specific to certain groups/genres)
How it positions the reader E.g. as a close friend, an informed fan etc.
Type of image/s used (use technical vocabulary)
Use of colour
Use of fonts


See you Wednesday!
