Preliminary Task - Evaluation.

As prepartion to creat my new school or college magazine, I looked at numerous front covers and contents pages and found the code and convention to help me to determine what I should feature in my own school or college magazine. I used my list of codes and conventions of magazine front covers and contents pages to help me develop my own magazine. By following my list of codes conventions it made it easier to create my own magazine, it helped me to make it recognisable as a school magazine.
