How I am getting on.

So far in this task I have done 7 slides on microsoft powerpoint whilst going into deep analysis on 5 of them with two school magazines and 2 music magazines.

I have explained as many codes and conventions in them as I can and I am happy with my work so far.

I have also done 1 slide of a double page article from an existing school magazine and anatated it in some detail.

On the final slide i have compared 2 magazines, the music magazine 'NME' and a school magazine 'evolve' and went into quite a lot of detail on the differences and the simularities and I came to a conclusion on them which you will see in my work.

I have wrote a bit of work on microsoft word explaining some of the codes and conventions of a magazine.

I have also recorded some people whilst interviewing them on what they would prefer and like in a school magazine as part of my research. I asked them all the same questions so that there is a clear idea on what the target audience of people aged 11-16 would like to see in a school magazine. Although i have only asked people age 14-15, this is mid way through the target audience so their opinion should be pretty much the same. I have also only asked 4 girls and no boys at this point in time so i will be interviewing about 5 boys and 5 girls all together.

That is where I am at so far.
