Main Task

Introduction:

For the main task I produced the front cover, contents page and double page spread of a new music magazine. I have chosen the genre of hip hop and used a variety of different technologies such as Prezi, Movie Maker, Slideshare, etc. to present my research and feedback.

Preliminary Exercise

Introduction:

For the premlinary exercise, I used DTP and an image manipulation program to produce the front cover and contents page of a school magazine. My front cover featured a photograph of a astudent in medium close up and some appropriately laid-out text and a masthead. I also used QuarkXpress to produce my contents page.
