Preliminary Task Planning

Our first steps in the task started with us making a spider diagram and putting down ideas regarding the layout, title, coverlines, images to use, themes, target audiences and content of the magazine. This was done in our own time and when returning on the Monday morning we acted on our notes and went and took pictures (using an SLR camera) we thought we could incorperate in the school magazine whether on the front cover or contents page. I personally took several images whether relevant or not therefore I had a vast selection to choose from. I did not particually have a dead-set image in my head for the front page but I knew that I wanted it to comply with the theme "Juggling School Work And Social Life". It is quite a comprehensive topic which allowed me to capture lots of photos that I could relate to the theme. I also came up with the idea of the name being "WilmoWatch" - all one word. The name relates to the school and it rather catchy I believe towards the target audience which is ultimately the students within the school.
