Welcome to my AS Media Studies portfolio. The task was to create a Music Magazine, following the forms & conventions of a professional Magazine. Before this task began, a preliminary task to produce a Student Magazine was undertaken (Link in the Sidebar) in which I explored the concept of producing a magazine, this followed on into further research into producing a professional looking Music Magazine entitled "The Sound". These blogs follow my progress through planning, research to the final product.
