She will be wearing pretty neutral colors. I am going to have these photos taken in my local park on a bright day so I will have a lot of lighting to highlight her. meaning lots of color.

the institution for my magazine: BAUER

Target Audience: media theory!

The many theories to use are for example demographic.
for demographic we look at GRASS.
this stands for:
G - gender
R - Race

For my magazine this will be:
Gender: female.
Race: White British
Age: 14-17 years old
Social class: working class.

Analysis of journalistic style

From the double page spread I have analysed I can see the picture of the band and their image stands out as it takes up one whole page. The article is then written in column's. Certain parts of the text have been picked out by the journalist and written in a bold font that stands out and is in a different colour, as i have noticed from most double page spreads i have analysed this tends to be something the artists have said during their interview or something and the quote is important and says something about the artist. The name of the band at the top of the atrticle is eye catching and tells us exactly what the article will be about.

The unique selling point of my product

The unique selling point of my magazine will be that it will be a pop magazine for a younger age range. It will cover new artists, the cover shall be eye catching and will be fairly busy with no blank spaces. my double page spread will be colourful with the use of pink and greens for writing.

Feedback 9.2.11

Beth, you are falling behind with this work and it doesn't look like you are working on this in your own time. The contnets page for the prelim is still not on here. All your research and planning should be complete by monday. Blogging will not b permitted in lessons from monday. Next week you must write the first draft of your article and take your photographs. Please ensure this shoot is planned and the studio is booked.

You must work on this in your own time or it will not get done. Stage one warning.

conventions of music magazines, analysing genres similair to my ideas.

Initial ideas for my project.

My magazine target audience is for girls of age 15-18. It will cover new artists, pop artists and have ranges of fashion also within it. I have analysed magazines such as rap up, smash hits and top of the pops to get an idea of the sort of features that I should perhaps use.

Feedback 30.1.11

Beth, I know you have just changed the brief you wish to work on and you have done well to catch up the prelim task so quickly. However, you need to work on this blog in your own time in order to keep up witht he very tight deadlines. YOu should have almost completed your research by now and be reasdy to move on to planning work by thursday's lesson. This is to allow maximum time to production work. Please remember to upload the sketch of the contents page to the prelim task post. Work through the research list and see me if you have any questions etc.

Preliminary Task.

This is my preliminary task for the magazine option. This is the front cover I designed for a college newsletter/magazine.
I think that first of all my picture has not been cut properly I should have cut it more carefully and taken more time as we can still see parts of the original background surrounding the picture. I think there is also too much space left round the picture making it look rather bare and a little plain. It is not very eye catching and seems visually boring. The text however does seem to stand out and the main stories would catch the eye. This is because the writing is bold, big and stands out from the actual background. However my title of the magazine does not stand out very well and is not very visible when the title should be eye catching.
