A2 Advanced Portfolio Begins Here


After reading through the list of potential briefs for my A2 portfolio, I have come upon the decision to undertake brief 14. As I am comtemplating pursuing a career in magazine design and layout, I feel as though the most appropriate task for me to delve into is the print brief, following up on my AS brief to produce a magazine cover, contents page, and feature page. The fact that I will be creating another magazine allows me to focus on the development and improvement of my skills before I enrol in university and make a career for myself. I will also be posting in this blog to record the planning and process of the creation of my magazine, with analysis of other magazines etc, to allow my knowledge of the media industry to grow into a vast area of intellect. Analysing magazines will give me understanding of how each and every different one has the ability to attract their specific target audiences and ignite success all over the world. Personally, I am incredibly interested in this particular area of the media industry and cannot wait to get started on the production and pre-production planning of my A2 unit, as it is something of which will assist me greatly in the future and build a portfolio. 


I must choose two other tasks to complete along with the four pages from my magazine. As I do not feel as though the radio advertisement would be successful, nor is it one of my strengths, I have chosen to do the two hyperlinked pages from the website, and a bilboard advertisement. Though I do not have an overabundance of knowledge within the area of websites, I have obtained a small amount, as I have my own website which I built with 'Wix.com'. As for the bilboard advertisement, I feel as though this will be a relatively simplistic task to achieve, and that it will allow my experience to grow with layout and design.
