School Magazine

 For my first Media task I am creating my own school magazine here is my current plan:

School name- Rotherhithe Technology College (RTC)

Size of the school- Newly opened, approximately 800 11-16

Location- Rotherhithe, south east London

History- Recently opened secondary school, continually growing

Name of magazine- RTC STANDARD

A magazine to the council/ parents, showing them what is happening with this newly opened school, from the departments to extra curriculum activities. The magazine is meant to portray the new modern school and how its differs to other schools in the area.

Theme- School life of newly opened school

On the right hand side of my blog is pages to the various research I carried out to reach up to my final design OR click the links below.

Media is a means of communication either through newspapers, radio, magazines or television. I personally feel that it has a massive influence on the way people live their lives and the decisions that people make. As a subject I feel that it will help me have an deeper understanding the various types of communication and the influences they have on all types of people. It will cover aspects that will help me any type of job I might decide to go into in the future. Media Studies covers so many areas which I will be very intrested to learn about; from photography to article writing. Not only do I want good grades but to learn the different ways to communicate to different types and people that I may meet in life.

For my AS level I will be making two products a magazine for a school and a music magazine, this blog shows my progress.
