Lesson 1 - Introduction Into Course Portfolio

In today's lesson I have learnt about the Foundation Portfolio in which I will be creating through the next couple of months. In the task I will be creating a Preliminary task as well as the mask task. In the Preliminary task I will be creating a school/college front page which will need to have an image of a student in medium close up and also have a contents page. This will give me a chance to develop my skills in the software that I will be using and designing my magazine. In the main task I will be creating a music magazine in which will have a front page, contents page, a double page containing a minimum of four images. During the course of the lesson I found out that the coursework would be marked in 3 parts. The first section is "Presentation of Planning and Research" which will be marked out of 20. The construction of the music magazine will be marked out of 60 and lastly the evaluation will be marked out of 20. I am looking forward to find out what is involved using photo-shopping and also using the preliminary task to help me produce a high quality piece of work
