Practical Production Piece

I aim to design and produce a double page spread magazine article for the magazine 'Take a Break' a women's 'real life' magazine. I will also be designing and producing a front cover of the magazine too. In order to my Critical Investigation to link to my Practical Production piece, I will be writing an article based on a women who has been released from a prison in England. Within the article the woman will be talking about all of her experiences in there and her views on programmes such as Orange is the New Black representations of how they portray life in prison to be. I intend to analyse the codes and conventions of the magazine 'Take a Break' in order to get my desired outcome.  The codes and conventions I will be focusing on and aiming to achieve are:

• General layout of the magazine's articles and front cover
• Images used on the front cover and articles
• Colour scheme
• Target audience
• Language used effectively to recreate the tone of language used in 'Take a Break'
• Magazine icons, such as the logo and correct text
