Q5, How did you attract/address your audience?
When
it comes to attracting my audience it was essential for me to incorporate
certain headings as I had a specific target audience that my music magazine was
aimed such as; dancehall and bashment, by me mentioning the genre that my music represents
not only will it attract the specific audience that it is aimed at however it
also attracts a wider audience due to the fact that most people know where the
niche genre originates from. Secondly the colour scheme illustrates where the
genre is from (Jamaica), I used colours such as green, gold and black which
represent culture and tradition in relation to the country that is being
represented.
My magazine also has a range of images
both male and female which signifies that the magazine is aimed at both
genders. My main artist is an attractive male model on the front cover of my
magazine in fashionable clothing to promote an enigmatic look, I drew sketches
of what I wanted my front cover to look like and then handed it to my audience
to see what they thought of it. I also done a questionnaire and passed it round
to a variety of people for my music magazine.
On my contents page I wrote about
festivals that would be taking place for my audience which also signifies that
my music magazine promotes functions for people to go to.
In my opinion I believe the layout of
my music magazine is quite sophisticated and elegant which would attract more
viewers to read the magazine.
I received verbal feedback from my peer
groups and they suggested what stood out
to them the most and what stood out to them the least.

7 .Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the the full product?
Over the course of
this production I feel that my technical skills to do
with Photoshop and other technology devices has improved a lot, before
we started this task I never knew how to crop a picture properly
on Photoshop but now I am able to:
¨Crop a picture in a
professional way by using the eraser tool and magnetic lasso
tool
¨ How to use 3 or
more colours for my background
¨How to give an
outline/stroke around my masthead, I done this by right clicking onto the layer
that I want to give an outline to and then when I done this I saw blending
options so I clicked on that and then went all the way down to stroke.
¨How to change the
lighting in a photograph I done this by clicking on to image and then clicking
on auto colour and if I wanted to increase the brightness of the
photo I would need to click on image again and then click on adjustment and
then go to brightness and contrast
¨How I made my main
image look smooth was by using the blur tool
If I was to compare
my music magazine and school magazine together
I would
say that in my school magazine the colour schemes do not link in with each
other and also the typography that I used does not feel as if it was
appropriate for an actual school magazine and it did not seem attractive or eye
catching in any type of way at all my layout to me seems very basic it
feels like I didn't really put a lot of effort or thought in the magazine, I
didn't not put in what issue it was however with my music magazine I
think the colours work well together and the colour scheme works well with the
genre. When I look at it I can already tell that its a magazine that is
representing the a niche genre and also the country that it could be representing.
