Apologies - I'm out on a Year 13 trip to a BFI screening and workshop so won't be in Thursday's double lesson.
The work is exactly as we discussed on Tuesday. Work through the following in order:
1) Complete your Assignment 1 planning documents and put them in your coursework folder. This means a planning sheet and two sketches (one of which is in colour). Coursework folders should be at the front of DF07.
2) Log on to your normal PC and start designing your magazine cover using Adobe Photoshop. Create a new A4 portrait page and add the title, slogan, main flash and cover lines in preparation for the photoshoot next week.
Unfortunately, we are short of Media staff on Thursday to help with technical questions but there are plenty of tutorials to help with your Photoshop work. We have plenty on the Media Shared drive: M:\How To Guides\Adobe Tutorials and you can also use YouTube tutorials too.
This should give you plenty to get on with - good luck and keep up the good work!

Miss Fowler's Class Blog Feedback and Learner Response
Blog Feedback- This week's lessons - Time to Reflect
Hello Year 9!
You will each have received an email from me on your SCHOOL EMAIL with the title 'Blog Feedback'. Please read this carefully as it gives you information about what is missing or needs improving on your blog so far.
Whilst most of you have made an excellent and committed start to the course and shown real potential in Photoshop and practical tasks, some of you are missing a lot of work on your blog and I am not impressed! This is a GCSE where coursework is worth 60% of your final grade so commitment to finishing all work to the best of your ability here and at home is essential.
Task
1) Please read the feedback and then post my feedback on a new blog post on your blog. Call it 'Blog Feedback and Learner Response.'
2) Read the EBIs carefully so that you know what you have to improve upon.
3) Post the Learner Response and then DO the learner response. This might involve looking back on your own work in your drafts, finishing it and then publishing it or (if you missed a lesson) it might involve finding the work on Macguffin so that you can catch up.
There is a lot of work for some of you to do but it is necessary for us all to be in the same place before we continue with Assignment 1.
Those of you who ARE up to date, well done! You can make any changes that I have asked for and then you can continue with the Magazine Analysis task and doing your sketches and planning documents for Assignment 1. Make sure that everything goes into your blue folders.
Thank you
Miss Fowler

The detailed notes on the key conventions of magazine covers can be found here.
Your blog task is as follows:
1) Use Google images to find a magazine cover of your choice. Make sure it is a UK-based magazine.
2) Copy the image into PowerPoint.
3) Find as many of the 12 key conventions of magazine covers as you can on the front cover and annotate the key conventions on PowerPoint using arrows.
4) Choose three of the key conventions and write 50-100 words of analysis for each. The key here is to explain how the key conventions target the magazine’s audience. Example:
5) When finished, save your PowerPoint slide as a JPEG and upload to your blog with a brief explanation of the task.
