NEA 2021: Chosen brief

For my two magazine front covers I have two main story ideas. The first is the story of an aspiring fashion designer. I chose this because I would love to incorporate fashion into one of my magazines. It is also something my target demographic would be into. The second is about being a POC in England (around Essex more precisely) and their school experiences with racism, fitting in, etc. I chose this because it is an interesting topic that my target demographic would also care about and would most likely want to educate themselves on. 

Planning: Reflection on moderator's report

1. Have an overall design aesthetic going across both editions of the magazine 
2. Choose fonts with discrimination (don't rely on body-text fonts to create or sell lines or the masthead)
3. Conduct focused research into the codes and conventions (e.g assessing the conventional size for text on a contents page)
4. Make sure it appeals to the audience you are targeting 
5. If filming a music video, try your hardest to film at locations that are unique and not in schools
6. Consider using a wide range of shots and camera movement
7. Take more footage than you think you'll need
8. Where creating a website, make sure it is detailed, don't leave it scarce
9. Weaker websites relied heavily on the Wix template, so try to make the website your own. To help with this you could use a blank template
10. Make sure to address ALL requirements of the chosen brief
