Work for this week

1. Design three alternative mastheads for your sixth form magazine, upload and annotate your choices.
2. Take the pictures for your student magazine, remember the front cover must be mid shot. You should remember to include signs and signifiers that can have mediated meanings. Upload the unedited version so we can see how you have edited it and then upload one that is similar but unsuitable.
Don't forget you will need pictures for your contents page so take lots.
3. Think about secondary headlines and cover stories.
4. Flatplan for contents page.

You all need to improve the quality of your language. You must use the worksheets and handouts and lift the language from those when annotating your work. Nothing should be uploaded and not annotated. Key terms relevant to this part of the process would be:
denotation & connotation
signs and signifiers
motivated signs
semiotics
representation
micro, macro
audience, niche audience
genre
conventions
framing and composition
anchorage
