Reader Profile - Preliminary task

This is Maria Alvarez, she is a creative and confident 16 year old who has now begun sixth form and will shortly be turning 17. Maria has chosen Fine Art, History, Business Studies and Spanish as her A-Level choices which are quite broad and different to one another as she is unsure of her career plan at this moment. Maria has two different learning styles which are visual and verbal hence why she has chosen Fine Art and Spanish. 

Maria loves to draw in her free time and add to her work in art as well as going to Spain to meet her family every year. In addition, she also watches Spanish movies and TV dramas in her free time to improve and benefit her Spanish. 

She has had a struggle during her GCSE's to remain on schedule and meet all her deadlines for school therefore is hoping to change this problem. Moreover, she has found it hard already as she settles in to her first year of sixth form as it is a bit overwhelming but is getting used to the feeling. 

Overall, Maria plans to make a positive impact on her performance at school by figuring out what career paths she could choose and how to meet deadlines furthermore, stay on top of everything and have a balance without hesitation or stress.

Magazine Deconstruction - Preliminary Task

To begin with, this is my task where I have deconstructed a magazine contents page. I have identified the target audience, picked out conventions used and described how they are presented. I think every choice that has been made was suitable for this front cover for example the model, Zendaya, is posing a certain way not only to grab our attention but to also think about why she is doing this such as giving us an insight on some fashion tips based on her reach towards her shoes.
During this task I have gone over these key terms which has helped me to remember and comprehend.
Overall, I have explored through this task in a positive way which has therefore benefited me and will hopefully help me with my preliminary task.

Introduction and Brief - Preliminary Task

My name is Fatima Khan and I will be studying media studies for A-levels.
I'll be posting all of my media work on here including my brief for the first project.
The brief is to create a front cover and contents page for a school or college related magazine therefore it must be clear for the target audience.

My magazine will be college related therefore the age range would be 16-18. As it is a stressful time of year with a a huge jump and impact on ones abilities, my magazine will be to help these students such as by giving tips and tricks.

As we swiftly move through the month I hope to come up with many more ideas and create a great, successful magazine front cover and contents page.
