Alex, I know you have been planning your magazine but you need to post some evidence of this on here regularly. You should be ready to start production work this week and your blog looks a little thin! Use yur own time now to complete any research you still have to do and get working on your pictures and article etc. I'd like to see you working on your front page this week. You only have 3 and half weeks of lesson time left so you must use your own time for this or you cannot hope to complete this coursework!

The defonithion of defineing

For my target audience i need to get an ideo of who they actually are. I can and will do this in a series of ways. The first being a questionair (coming soon to a classroom near you) and another is by getting to know the actuall people.
I can do this by targeting my friends, or i can reserch the people who are similar. Here is an example. After getting to know my audience i beleve i will be able to define them. However i am going to need to wait for my questionair results to return.
untill such a time: holld tight

idea evolution (like some form of pokemon (c))

I was doing further reserch (based on the fact that my pre-lim cover was boring), to see if i could find any cool effects just to make it interesting. And i stumbled upon this: CLICK!!!
its a tutorial on texter wraping. this made me reolise that was what my Pre-lim was missing: lack of texture. that makes it bland.
i thought that i would use this some how in my cover or double page spread to attract more audience as it is not normal: thus sparks a sence of intrigue.
******later that day******
I was then looking at photoshop tutorials by the same guy and found this: CLICK!!!!!!
I felt this also gave a cool effect to add texture

on the job :D

i now have to do reserch in my own time (joy). Sooooooo i went to google (because it knows all) and typed in "grunge" (because thats the style im going for) and it came up with LOADSSS of cool stuf i can use. here is the search: CLICK ME.
AND THERE IS MORE (oh yes)
i then searched: "grunge photoshop" (because i do most of my work in photoshop) wich then linked me to a page with: 200 GRUNGE STYLE BRUSHES!!!!!!! ( :O I KNOW) so here they are: CLICK ME ASWELL.
