Preliminary excercise brief

This part of the coursework requires me to produce the front cover and contents page of a college magazine. It must contain photographs i have taken and a masthead with appropriately placed text. Also, i must show time management, all work i have done on layouts or drafts, that i have researched similar products and show that i have used photoshop(image manipulation programme) to produce it. The front cover must include photographs taken by me with a medium close-up picture used for the front cover. This task will show how effectively i can use and understand media conventions while making my magazine and analysing other ones.
