Evaluation question 7

The things I have learnt going from the preliminary task to doing my final music magazine are the colour scheme is very important because this brings the full magazine together. The colours you choose is also important because the colour have to represent the type of magazine you are portraying and what type of audience will buy your magazine. The colours are also the thing what is meant to attract the audience because that is the first thing they look at. Another important thing I have learnt is the main front picture of your magazine is key to attracting people to read your magazine. I learned about what types of shots are the best for the front of a magazine like the close up is good and also the medium shot is good and to make sure that there is not a lot of blank space above the person you are taking the picture of. Another thing I have learnt is how to use Photoshop more effectively and how to use most of the tools right. Also using a lot of stories is good because it keeps the front cover interesting and that there is a lot more too look at. Another thing I have learnt is that the feature stories needs to stand out more than all of the other stories this is because it is most likely to be your double page spread what is one of the biggest stories in a magazine. I have found the preliminary task very useful to see how much I have developed and what I have learned doing this course.

What my social groups where and who fits my genre?

First I wanted to choose a colour scheme based on what genre I choose and that was pop so I needed more girly colours. Then I made a mood board of what things girls like and what should be included in my magazine. After that I choose my target audience that was teenaged girls this is because they are the ones what mainly buy magazines and they will most likely have their parents pay for it or have a part time job. This means that my magazine had to be an affordable price but still fit things in what my target audience will want. My magazine contains things about all of the pop stars people want to hear about including Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars. It also contains competitions and free things inside what is good for my target audience.

My social group is Girls they like girly things, girly colours, Music, Social networking, gossip and boys.  The girl would be teenagers and they like free things, gossip, concerts, social networking and things online. Since they are teenagers they price had to be cheap so I put it at £1 this is so they person could afford it by them self’s but it also is not too expensive for the parent to buy for them.

On the social class table my audience is either and D or an E this is depending on if the child buying the magazine has a job or if their parents are giving them money to buy the magazine.
