research and planning: podcast

research and planning: music magzine cover draft

 

This is my draft for my music magazine, I will have a model in a medium close up with the cover lines over the model but at the sides. Also the masthead overlapping her.

research and planning: double page spread analysis

 This spreads' text has been set into three columns to give s much information to the readers as possible. The big 'L' (for Lady Gaga) over the text breaks up the big chunk of text to not look as boring. The large picture on one side of the page of Lady Gaga in a medium close up, and when you see what shes wearing automatically makes you interested in what the story is about. The meaning of this spread in this magazine is to promote her tour 'born this way ball'. As the full spread is quite simplistic, all black and white gives off an adult effect, an the style of the text is not like an interview it is a formal text, there is a lot of language suited for adults and the picture as well is aimed at adults. As there isn't a title for this page suggests that she doesn't need a title because of how famous she is, just 'Lady Gaga' as a small masthead so people know who this is.

research and planning: analysis of contents page

The genre of this magazine is chart music I know this because the lead singer of Paramore is the main picture on the page and there are other pictures of other well known artists. There is one column on this contents page but all the information from in the magazine is on there. There are 49 pages and over them pages there are around 21 stories, also the main picture draws your attention straight away to the page, and the other three pictures on the side make the reader think there is more to offer inside. I think the target audience is people around the age of 20 because you need a little bit of money to buy this magazine and the style of writing and the images give off a vibe that the readers will be older, also this magazine is shown to be suitable for both genders, one is not preferred. The person in the main picture is shown to be having a lot of fun and excited to be a part of this magazine. The person in the main picture is in a long shot. The man in the bottom small picture is in a low angle medium close up. The small picture in the middle is a long shot and the top small picture is a low angle medium long shot.

Target Audience on Prezi

research and planning: collage

This collage helped me decide what I want in my magazine and what genre it is, I chose to do a chart music magazine and include fashion.

research and planning: masthead designs

I have chosen the different mastheads and done them in different fonts and colours. I haven't fully decided on one yet but I ill get audience feedback to help me decide.

research and planning: analysis of magazine front cover

The genre for this magazine is rap and R&B this is obvious because of the choice of colours on the front cover and the main image style. The audience for this magazine would probably be for people around the ages of 17-26 because the cover line stories suite those ages and the feel of the image gives off an older vibe.

The masthead is in a bold font to stand out, and the design of the main image over lapping the masthead give off the effect that the magazine is famous enough to not even have the full masthead showing. Also the cover lines stand out in the bold colours of black and red on the grey background.

The image of Alicia Keys brings the whole magazine cover together making it look older and more R&B/rap, and by her face and clothing this is how older people would dress and look maybe on a night out so I think by her wearing these clothes draws the attention of certain people interested in her style.

research and planning: analysis of magazine front cover

You can tell the audience for this magazine is for young, music loving people as the first reactions you get from the cover is fun and exciting. The colours all go together nicely and the three colour rule has been used also. The main picture of Beyonce draws your attention straight away as she is obviously well known and by her being on the front cover this automatically draws the attention of readers interested in her.

The layout of the front cover is done well with a main picture in medium long shot, the main picture is overlapping the masthead suggesting the magazine is famous enough to not even have all of the masthead showing. All of the cover lines are to the point and draw you into to want to read the magazine too, and the yellow and white stand out to make you read it also.

The main picture of Beyonce makes her and the magazine look fun, laid back but very classy and fashionable. By the way shes stood makes her look like the magazine is very sophisticated as the professional look of the shoot gives that effect.
