HELLO

Why am I doing this?

My name is Kasey Wilesmith. I am a media A-Level student. I started this blog as a way of documenting my Media A-Level NEA progression. I am looking to produce my own piece of work relating to lifestyle magazines. I will produce 2 magazine front covers and the contents page for each of the editions. I will also be producing a website with a home page and a linked page.
