Over the holidays you need to write the first draft of your first magazine feature. Include the following in a new google doc.
1 first draft of your main article (between 600 and 2000 words depending on your article) Don't worry about columns,
just do it in Word for now.
2 First draft of your mini-feature (extra feature often placed in the final column of the final page) The mini feature should
be interesting and eye-catching. It will almost always involve images. Often, a mini-feature will give the reader interesting
facts about a film or a star. ie Not 'Keira Knightley was born in Nov 1984' but maybe 'Keira Knightley was attacked by a rabid
dalmation when she was three, and has a clause in her contract that states that she will not be required to come within 30 feet
of a dog, wolf or dingo' You can make it up, so have some fun with it.
3 Details about your design ideas (Headlines, puffs, colour-schemes, use of images etc. Try and give us as
full a picture as possible about how you want your feature to look. Be ambitous. Steal ideas from the professionals.
Your design ideas should be presented in Word, but feel free to use photos of existing features to illustrate your ideas.
We can pretty much replicate anything that you see in a professional magazine.
