Assignment 1: Magazine cover key conventions

This week's lessons are all about learning the 12 key conventions of magazine covers and starting to develop our written analysis.

The detailed notes on the key conventions of magazine covers can be found here.

Your blog task is as follows:

1) Use Google images to find a magazine cover of your choice. Make sure it is a UK-based magazine.

2) Copy the image into PowerPoint.

3) Find as many of the 12 key conventions of magazine covers as you can on the front cover and annotate the key conventions on PowerPoint using arrows.

4) Choose three of the key conventions and write 50-100 words of analysis for each. The key here is to explain how the key conventions target the magazine’s audience. Example:

5) When finished, save your PowerPoint slide as a JPEG and upload to your blog with a brief explanation of the task.

Good luck!
