Students Comments - Page Process

Again this is the background to my page, this is what the overall layout is. The title is still situated within the coloured block on the right hand side.

I added images before I added the text as I felt like it would be more efficient to do this first, this was I was able to decide where I wanted the text. If I can base the whole composition on the images then it makes the process much easier.


This is why my final piece looks like it is following all of the stereotypical conventions of a student's comment page. I did not want to create a page which will just be flicked past, I want people to read and see what people have to say.

University Offers - Process

This is the layout and title page, both conventions which I have to feature within my development process. 

I decided that for my university offer page I wanted to split the offers into three sections: unconditional, conditional and reduced offers. This is the layout which I came up with as I felt like the reader would be able to easily understand any information which is held within the blocks. 

I then decided that I would have liked to have featured a background image like in my subject pages, with the previous layout I would not have been able to have an image which you could see so I changed the layout. I feel like this layout is much more efficient than the old layout.

I then split each box off into sections, Unconditional, conditional and reduced. This will allow people to easily see which university courses were offered at which level. 

I then began to fill in the boxes with information regarding what courses were offered to current students. 

This is what the page is now looking like with all of the text on, although I have not explained what each section means I am going to do so on my later page UCAS. I feel like that now the text is on the overall composition of the page appears more attractive. 

I then added text at the top explaining what the text on the page was all about, most of my pages include a brief summary as it helps to keep you focused on certain things on that page rather than wondering off thinking about other things.

I finally decided to include an image, this only difference with this background image is that I did not put it a Black and White filter, I chose to keep it colour but still push the opacity levels down to 12% which is what I have them set at every day.

Out The Classroom - Progress

Facilities Page - Process

New Subject Page - Progress

New Subject Page - Fonts

 Because I am placing my pages in alphabetical order, I knew that Applied Science and Art were going to be my first two subject pages which I had to cover. This is why I could begin to pick my font.

I went back to 1001fonts.com in order to find the perfect font, this is where I found the following fonts featured. The next step is deciding which I want to use.

I really liked the way this font looked, it is very simplistic and not forced into the readers face.

This font was not the correct style once I situated it onto my page, I did not like the overall look it gave. 

Although I did previously want to use a bold font, I don't think this is going to show any positive correlation when it comes to fitting in with the rest of my booklet.

This looked very bland and chunky, even though I did not hand draw any of the fonts, I didn't want them to see forced onto the page. What I mean by this is that I don't want something to look like it doesn't belong on the page, I want my booklet to look as natural as possible so it does not scare the Year 11 readers off by looking overly developed.

New Subject Page - Layout

This is going to be the basic layout of my page, I decided to feature a coloured block down the side of my page as I took inspiration from one of the prospectuses which I researched. It stops the page from looking overly basis, it offers a very simplistic but effective look to the overall composition.

I will be featuring this colour throughout my whole survival guide, it will now become a part of my colour scheme. This is a common feature to have within booklets as it offers a sense of recognition, the colours become linked with the piece.

Change Of Plan

As previously stated, I was originally going to create a promotional video for my current sixth form which I then changed into a prospectus. I have now changed my plan again, this will be my final change as I need to jump into the process of making my piece, I am now going to be creating a survival guide to Sixth Form.

This will still include all of the information I previously said I would include, although this time it will be written in a more informal tone. This will allow those reading to get an idea of what sixth form is like through my eyes, a current student.

I also will not be including information regarding how the course will be assessed and what the content of the course will be, I don't want to be including information such as what each individual module would be as that information is already accessible in the prospectus.

I will now need to collect new data such as what the course could lead to; this will be a list of courses they can go on to study at universities all around the country.
