Feedback On Your Blogs

Hi guys,

I am currently going through your blogs and giving feedback in the comments section. Some blogs are not allowing me to comment. I am hoping this is a temporary glitch with Blogger and I will be able to upload my comments soon.

Homework Due: 9th Feb

You should all bring in a draft of the text for your article for your 2-page spread for next week's lesson.

You should also have a rough flat plan of the layout of your 2-page spread.

Today's Task

G'day.

Today we are focusing on three things:
  1. Analysing the magazines you brought in for homework. These should have a simialr target audience and house style to your own magazine. Either scan in a two-page spread or describe it and analyse the features.
  2. Making flat plans for your two-page spread, based on your analysis of similar publications. Keep it simple, but add annotations.
  3. Ensuring you are reflecting, evaluating and commenting in your blog. I have noticed that many of you are merely describing your processes, rather than explaining why you made certain choices. For each stage of research and planning you recount, explain why you chose to do this, using technical/specialist vocabulary. Link to your knowledge of audience/genre/theory wherever possible.
