Task 7- audience research task

For my audience feedback I have been told that my magazine will look like a lot of the magazines, that I am copying a lot of ideas from other magazines that I have looked up at. They asked me what will be the difference between my magazine and theirs. I gave the answer with that how I will be using these magazines as an example to try make it different to what they have produced.

Task 8- pictures

These are the pictures I have picked to use for my magazine, I've chosen these images in particular because they all look 'cool' so this links to the genre I am basing my magazine on. When I did some research I saw that there was a lot of serious looking images, so I wanted to base mine a bit similar to there images but I added different shots, for example for my front cover image it is my main model wearing a white dress just above her knees and she is wearing black ankle length converses, this shows her femininity but also her seriousness by her facial expression she is giving.


This is the image I will be using for my front cover page.

Task 5- magazine newsstand task

When I look at this newsstand I realise that magazines like Elle are at eye sight levels, this is because the magaine Elle is a very world wide magazine and they sell a lot to costumers, so they put this to eye sight so this would be the first magazine that anyone will see. Elles age audience is Age 18-34:45% Age 25-49:55% and so they put it around the middle of the newsstand as it will be seen first by them. They have been placed behind each other but put into separate sleeves, this makes the customer easier to pick a magazine they would like.

Task 4- feed back and evaluation on college magazine

By my peer I have been said that I should stick to 3 colour scheme, however they like my colour scheme I have used. She has also said that I should have carried on the branding on the contents page by keeping the same font on both pages. Tree key points that I will use for development for my music magazine: -keep to 3 main colour scheme -have my font the same on all pages -images shouldn't be squashed on my contents page.
