I'm Jess the reason why i have chosen media studies because i would like a career in magazines when i have finished school, I also took the subject in GCSE level and enjoyed it, so i wanted to carry it on in a higher level. I am intrested in the different ranges of media including magazines, films and music. My favorite magazine that i enjoy reading is LOOK or NOW for there fashion sections. I also read music magazine such as NME and Kerrang as i am intreseted in music, especially indie/rock. The films that i watch vary with which mood i am in, my favorite films are The Holiday and The Mask.
My taste in music varys to what mood i am in as well, i listen to a mixture of music but i prefer indie/rock as it is more relaxed than hardcore rock, which i sometimes listen to.

This is my final front cover of my preliminary task for my still image piece. I created this front cover using Photoshop. Which i have been used to using as i use it for photography. The challenges I found to use Photoshop was that it was hard to layer with some of the pictures, even though its pretty basic. My image that i used as my background image it was hard to find colours that would stand out against the colouring within the image.
The particular social group that I have chosen to work with is the sixth formers at chew valley school. I have reached out to this audience as it is the start of the new term and there is a new sixth form block opening up to them. Although I have put underneath the title (Chew News)- "sixth form special" so that the reader knows that this particular episode of the magazine is all about the sixth form and not its original publication.
The institution that would be interested in selling my magazine would be an institution that sells magazines to schools around the country. Also chew valley school would distribute my magazine as well as it is about the school so they would want to sale it.
As i said before the audience that i have chosen to work with was students of Chew Valley sixth form as the magazine is titled Sixth Form Special so you can tell that it is just for the sixth formers, but other students of the school are welcome to buy the magazine as they might like to see what it is like to be at sixth form. I address my audience through images of the new sixth form block and images inside the magazine of the students.
I have learnt how to use Photoshop better, I was alright with using it to start with but now I feel very confident with using it for my actually final product. Looking back through my preliminary task I have learnt to use Photoshop and how to layout my magazine better.
