2. This presentation will show the creation of the three parts of my magazine and the
reason behind it.
I began by asking the opinions of my class mates as they knew the concept of the
process of making it and also had their own creation to compare the magazine with.
I recorded the responses of some of my class mates to show their first thoughts.
My target audience:
Middle to late teens.
male and female.

3. • I Then made a questionnaire on the internet site called 'facebook'. This
was because it was the site that my target audience mostly uses. I
asked them all different questions about my magazine so i could get
useful unbiased opinions. I also put the copy’s of my magazine so any
of my friends could see them and leave comments.

6. Target Audience – how
to capture their
interest
• I looked at my target audiences interests to get
idea’s of what would capture their interest as they
lose interest easily. I looked at where they spend a
lot of their time so my magazine advertisement
would get maximum use. I also looked at other
magazine with a similar target audience to see where
they advertise themselves. From that I know which
places would be best to advertise my magazine we

8. To represent my magazine as punk/rock and
indie I had the band members pose in front of
backgrounds that were generally grungy, dirty
and had graffiti on them. I got the band
members wearing leather jackets, dark jeans
and scruffy shoes. When taking the pictures I
made sure they were relaxed and posing in a
natural way to show that they don't care how
they come across to people.
9. • The main institution most likely to distribute my product would be a
newsagents. I know this for asking my target audience where they would think
they would find my magazine. Most people said ‘newsagents’. This means that
similar genre of magazines would be sold there and that my magazine would fit
in.
• Also my target audience thought that my main magazine competitor would be
‘NME’ magazine. I research where this would be mainly sold (which is in news
agents) this therefore backed up the idea that the news agents is the best place
for my magazine to be sold.
10. • From making the project I have learnt the complexity of photo shop and the high-
tech/professional looking products it can produce.
• I learnt how long it takes to create pages from the magazine
• I learnt how to use layering and how effective it can be towards a product.
• I have also learnt how other media types can help add to the overall creation of the
product. I used face book to help find out reactions to my magazine. I used the
internet to research other magazine’s and to help construct my magazine.
• I found out the effective ways I can advertise my product in many different ways of
media. ( websites/ radio/posters/shops)
11. From doing the project I have learnt :
- How to use paint shop pro efficiently to produce unique and professional looking work.
- How to take quality / focused photographs and to change colour levels so they standout more
effectively.
- To create work so it appeals to a certain audience correctly
- To use lots of different sources to get idea’s and help create my project.
