plan

You need to come up with:
- Title of your new school magazine
- Details of the mise en scene of your front cover image
-Coverlines for the front cover of your magazine

Firstly, to come up with a title for my magazine i done a mind map of all the connotations of 'school' I came up with loads of different ideas however i preferred the title 'education' I decided that it fitted with what I wanted to talk about.

Secondly I then decided I wanted my picture to have a plain background and a student holding up a set of results looking happy with what he 'achieved' in his exams I thought that it would go well with the title if I took it with a plain background as then it is more focused on the models attidude towards his results, I asked the model to use direct address and smile to emphasis the fact that he is really proud of himself, I asked him to stand in front of a wall and then I done a mid-shot.

Moreover I then done another mind map with what might be in the magazine and what would have connotations of 'school' and 'education' created coverlines for my magazine being... Latest Trip!, Morning Assembly, Local School Competitions, Latest school RESULTS, 'CLUBS', Recycle your Rubbish. I thought that these would attract the target audience as if it was a real magazine they would want to know what happens in school and what they could possibly get involved with.
