Project Brief

Welcome to my blogbook for my Negotiated Portfolio; the final module of my Ba(Hons) Journalism degree.

Please make sure you head right back to the oldest posts in order to see all of my thought processes and research, or if you prefer, click the tags relevant to the articles within the portfolio which can be found to the right hand side of the blog.

Many Thanks,

Project Brief

In this unit you will be required to produce an 8,000-word (or equivalent) portfolio of journalistic work that is targeted at existing publications and online media outlets, together with a log book or blog that documents your research and decision making process and a critique of your work.

Using the core journalistic skills already accrued on the course you will be expected to produce a number of pieces that demonstrate an appreciation of both audience and style. With the support of a tutor and through peer group work you will initiate ideas and develop a portfolio of marketable stories.

Your portfolio must include an appreciation of online journalism and include at least one item that is written/designed for the web. You may, if you choose to, submit a new magazine concept for part or all of this assignment.

Mini Photography Project

After changing my idea for my studying later in life feature, it will mean changing the layout and the way it is presented. I originally wanted to include a glamourous photo shoot in they style of Cosmopolitan magazine to be featured in the final layout. I had already organised time with student phographer, Natalie Blight and Linda Blight had agreed to model.
Instead of wasting this opportunity, I have decided to run the shoot as a part of my negotiated portfolio, still in they style of the glamorous photoshoots shown in Cosmopolitan.
I will be co-directing the shoot with Natalie and working with her to get the right photographs to fit the style, then I will be editing the images myself to achieve the glossy and glamorous look.
The model we will be using is older than the average Cosmo model and this will be a nice twist to the project.
Below are some inspirational images taken from the magazine.
