Merry Christmas!


So… there are only 2 lessons left until you must have handed in your front cover.  Once the deadline arrives, this does not mean you can rest on laurels – you need to be working on the next aspect of your magazine.

Over the Christmas break…

You must:

·                    Make sure you have your blog up-to-date. If you are stuck as to what need to be on it, you should be looking at my blog (all the information you need to know is on there).
·                    You need to be thinking about how you could deconstruct your own front cover.  I would advise taking a copy of your cover and annotating it.  Think connotation, denotation etc.
·                    Try jazzing your blog up.  Have you got a piece to camera?  Do you have a prezi?  Have you used slideshare? Have you got the stages of production of your front cover?

You should:

·                    Look at getting your audience to review your magazine cover – make this exciting.
·                    Begun work on your contents page.
·                    Thought about getting your pictures for your double page spread.
·                    Done some wider research for your blog – look at petesmediablog.

You could:

·                    Mock-up your contents page. 
·                    Start work on your double page spread.
·                    Drafted your article for your double page spread.

Despite my moans and constant cries of ‘blog it!’, you have worked really hard.  Make sure you have a lovely break and I hope Santa brings you lots of lovely presents.

Have fun!
