11. How did you attract/address your audience? A reasonable price Free tickets to be given away Image dominating the page, close up emphasises a relation with the target audience Large and bold masthead outlines its own importance as that is the title of the magazine. The outstanding view of this masthead also shows how much effort this magazine puts in in order to communicate with its readers. Images shows of how the character’s dress code is according to today’s Hip Hop music genre. This appropriate dress wear shows people how dress code is part of this genre. The main colour scheme is red and black. This emphasises the vibrant and consistency of attraction to a specific target audience. Red and black are the majority of colours. This has a purpose of emphasising which genre this magazine is aimed at. The bonus pages create a closer relation between the audience and - M u sic E x p r e s s The magazine having a bundle of bonus pages within the magazine is and extra way of appreciating audiences and other people. The attitude of the star in the image is similar to normal Hip Hop magazines. This realism will attract people and make people feel familiar and close to this magazine. The barcode also adds to the idea of realism because every normal magazine would have a barcode if it has a price, as well as the issue date and issue number to keep all the audiences updated and for them to make sure that they are not reading or viewing anything old or anything of the past but, to read the new magazine and get involved in the gossip and all the fun inside. The return of a star includes exclusive gossip. Audiences love gossip because it is a main key thing a magazine will contain. Many people will buy or get a magazine wanting to know the latest updated news or any information regarding their stars. My magazine shows the correct people that it is aimed at them! Celebrity gossip

24. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? (cover) Preliminary cover Coursework final cover Looking back at the preliminary task, I feel during the progression of it to the full product, I have learnt how to manipulate images so that they outline their own importance by dominating the page. As you can see, there is a difference in my preliminary cover and my final produce. They both have the difference of how the image is dominating the page. There is also a bit of a play around with the sell lines. For example on my full product I had learnt how to use drop shadow effects onto the sell lines or any other pieces of text like my masthead. The drop shadow effect helps the text contrast with anything else that is also noticeable for a good purpose. I also learnt that the image of the character has to have some sort of attitude for my genre, as my chosen genre was hip-hop this is why my final produce character shows the readers a bit of attitude to show realism when in comparison with real magazines. Changing the levels of pictures and the sizes or the way they are put in is another thing I have learnt. I have learnt that this is important because it has its own importance of playing the main key part of the magazine. COVER
