12E Preparing for the print coursework: research and design tasks (Miss Rodden)

1.

1. Read the ‘12 conventions of a magazine cover’ worksheet 
2. Find a front cover from an existing magazine the appeals to the target audience you chose last lesson (i.e. Tween Girls, Lads, Independent Women, Teen Boys)
3. On PPT, annotate that cover with the 12 conventions from the sheet and write a paragraph that analyses how it appeals to it’s target audience (using media language from the sheet) 
4. Using your magazine title and reader profile from last lesson, create a (hand drawn) mock up of your own front cover that includes the key conventions and appeals to your target audience 
5. Annotate the key conventions (in a different colour pen) and write a paragraph (on the back of your mock up) on how your front cover appeals to your target audience (using media language from the sheet)
