Work To Do

The Brief:

Construct a cover, contents page and double page spread using some original images.

Genre choices are:

• music
• film 
• fashion
• sport
• games

Today's work:

1. Decide on your genre
2. Research magazine titles within that genre. Collect images of as many different covers as you can.

Poster Activity 2

Before you get your feedback on your poster you need to begin planning another film poster. You are making one for the other side of the audience. You are making it for the same film.

 That means:

• if your first poster is aimed at a male audience then your next one is aimed at a female audience for the same film
• if your first poster is aimed at a female audience then your next one is aimed at a male audience for the same film

You would be advised to keep a lot of the same features, just make the poster masculine or feminine as necessary.
