WDK Sports Front Page

This was part of the magazine project I completed with Lauren and Firdowsa. Lauren and I created this together. Our picture on the front page is one of beach volleyball which combines sports and leisure together: (beach, where leisure activities take place and volleyball, a sport). Our text colours compliment the background and we didn't use too many fonts. This is the piece of work below:

Descriptive Moodboard of Woman

I made this piece of work in Publisher. This relates to the annotated version because I used pictures that related to the descriptions. I found this piece of work okay because I just had to look at the annotations and get pictures in correspondence to them. This is my piece of work below:

Descriptive Annotation of Woman

I used Publisher to create this piece of work. This is also a stereotypical observation of the picture in the middle. I have looked at a range of aspects such as her demographic group and lifestyle group. This is my piece of work below:

Descriptive Moodboard of Child

This piece of work was made in Publisher. It is the annotated description of the picture in the form of a moodboard. I found this task very easy because all I had to do was relate the pictures to the annotations. This is my piece of work below:

Descriptive Annotation of Child

 I used Publisher to create this piece of work. This is a stereotypical observation of the girl in the middle, but stereotypes that look most likely. I found this task easy, but also a brain-teaser because you couldn't just look at the picture and say what you see in the picture, you had to look deeply and pick out information about the child which you couldn't see in the picture. This is my observation below:

Sports Agony Aunt

This piece of work was completed in Word by me as a later development to the magazine project. This is it below:

Ask Khadijat!

Dear Khadijat,

I was swimming the other day, just enjoying myself. Then my bikini strap broke! I flushed red and I dashed out of the swimming pool as fast as I could because everyone was staring at me. I haven’t been able to step foot into a swimming pool because of this embarrassment. Please help me get over my fear!

Louise, 16

Dear Louise,

Your embarrassment at this issue is natural but you have to put into your mind that you are not the only one who has been through this dilemma. You should also wear swimming costumes with thick, strong straps so as not to go through this again. I will also send you my leaflet on Sporty Embarrassments to help you get through this.

Dear Khadijat,

I am not a sporty person but I have decided to take karate lessons to get a boy I really fancy to notice me but it still hasn’t worked and I’m not really enjoying the lessons. What do I do?

Kathy, 14

Dear Kathy,

If you don’t like karate then you shouldn’t do it and there’s no point in trying to impress a boy who doesn’t even know you exist! I would suggest you still do sports but try a sport you’d think you’d enjoy. I will send you my leaflet on Dating by Sport to help you with this issue.

Dear Khadijat,

I am really upset because every time we play sports, I always end up being picked last for every team because I am short, small, skinny and I wear glasses. I am actually not bad at sports but no one ever gives me a chance because they tell me to stay out of their way or expect getting beaten up. I walk home almost every day with bruises all over my body. Please help!

James, 13

Dear James,

These are just mean bullies! You need to take some self defence lessons like karate or taekwondo to be able to defend yourself from them so that they know that you are not someone to be messed with. You also need to show them your potential at sports because they are stereotyping you as a nerd which is why they think that you are not good at sports. I’ll send you my leaflet on Sports at School to help.

Magazine Mindmap

This piece of work was created by Lauren, Firdowsa and I. This was our very first idea of what should be put in our magazines, but over the course of the project, some of our ideas changed. This is the piece of work below:
