Monday 17th September- Lesson 1

On Monday afternoon, we had our first lesson in magazine design and layout production. Seb introduced us to the new project which is to design and create a full magazine. Together as a group we decided on the target audience and age group for our magazine. Originally it was aimed at 18-24 year olds but due to the magazine brief, it was stated that the magazine should be for 16-24 year olds.

We also discussed on the content for the magazine, here are the list of the chosen topics:

                                    Magazine Topics

• Beauty
• Fashion
• Music
• Sports
• Technology/Gadgets
• Nightlife
• Living Space*
• Uni Checklists/Essentials*
• Horoscopes*
• Adverts
• Films/Review Page
• Holidays
• Back Cover (of magazine)
• Front Cover (of magazine)

This is what we decided on on our first lesson though most of it are subject to change (market with red asterix).
