Sydney Palmer NEA

In this post I am going to be looking into genre research for my brief which is the magazines brief. My reason for this is so I make sure I use the proper code and conventions of the magazine as well as the genre in which it is covering. This genre is current affairs. The research produced from this will help me produce an effective final product of my own. I will be looking at three magazines that cover the area of current affairs. This research has helped me understand how I am going to layout my front page and context pages for my magazines. I will be using a close up for the girl with a mask on and the cover lines will go across the image. Then for the mental health front cover it will another close of of the boy with tears rolling down his face , the cover lines will also go across this image. For both context pages one half will be pictures whilst the other is the writing.

   In this blog I will be choosing my brief for the NEA and I will come up with my initial ideas for both my products that are required. The brief I have decided to choose is brief 3 : magazines and online. This is because I already have a high amount of skills for photoshop and very brief introduction to Wix for the development of the website. Here below are two mind maps for my initial ideas for my magazine. ------------------------- Mind Map created by Sydney Palmer with GoConqr --------------------------- Mind Map created by Sydney Palmer with GoConqr The magazines will have the branding shown across both of the front covers. This will mean that they both have the same layout ,colour scheme and typography across both front covers and context pages.
