Links to example student blogs at Levels 2 - 4
These examples are taken from the OCR Media Studies A Level support http://ocrmediastudies.weebly.com/g321-as-coursework.html.
Level 4 - this blog and product has been awarded grade A
Level 3 - this blog and product would be grade C or B
Level 2 - this blog and product would have been awarded grade D or E
Both the blogs at level 3 and 4 are a good source of planning and research ideas that you could add to your own work to improve it.
Finally, this is a link to a school where the board has commended their magazine work as worth seeing. It is a little confusing in layout but if you click on the first few links - AS Group 01, AS Group 02 etc, you will soon see come excellent student magazine design ideas.
Publishing House Bauer Media
The two links here give a way in to the website of Publishing House 'Bauer Media'.
This link connects to a page with links to all their magazine tiles. there is also a clear table showing how many of the titles are multi-platform, illustrating Crossmedia synergy (eg Kerrang! has the same design, brand identity and content values on several media platforms including magazine, radio, digital TV and internet)
This link goes directly to the Kerrang! page and you will see a brief concept summary, platforms and a short target audience profile. these pages exist for every title that Bauer publishes.
It is interesting to note that all Bauer's music magazines are found in the 'Men's Entertainment' section. Did you notice such a gender bias in reading them?
