Learning Objectives, 

• K: the advantages and disadvantages of using a mood board to inspire content of new media product.
• U: how different types of images and fonts can affect the way audiences consume media texts.
• BAT: produce a mood board that illustrates your initial ideas for your media product.
• CO: Use media terminology throughout.
• What brief did you choose? I chose brief 1, a magazine, as I find magazines interesting to read and they inform me with provided information.
• What are the minimum requirements for your chosen production? To create a front cover and double spread sheet educated for 10-13 year olds.
• What is the target audience as prescribed in the brief? 10-13 year olds.
• What is your target audience for the product you're creating? (this needs to link to the audience profiling post). Mainly aimed for girls entering secondary school as they'll begin to wear makeup, possibly for boys too.

Write an introduction to the task.
In this task, I'll be exploring different types of things such as pictures, fonts and colours, to create and use in my informative magazine used to educate girls about makeup. I would include things which intrigue my audience and make them interested in the topic.
I will also experience new creations to add to present my product.

I chose this brief as I'm interested in photoshop and would also like to inform children ages 10-13 about makeup. This can help people at this age as there would be information about this and backstories on it, etc. This magazine would mainly be for a female audience seeing as a high amount of girls this age will begin to wear makeup and need to be aware of the causes of it.
