AICE Media Studies AS- Turner, A

       My experience of creating my storyboard was very fun and exciting. It  taught  me to how properly format a magazine correctly  and increased my abilities to design.  The magazine is  like  Sports Illustrated showing off the best athletes that made the best  highlights  of that month. But ours is a little different, we are showing off the best high school athletes.  Our concept of our magazine is to get  underrated   high school  athletes to get recognized by scouts and coaches across the nation.
