Editor's Notes
- Masthead - Gives indication of the genre of music and is often re-occurringCover lines – give insight to the genre of music shown within the magazineBanner – gives a brief list of bands featuredMain cover line – Tells of the main article withinPull quotes – a small segment from a featured articleImagery – shows those featured, often conforming to stereotypes related to the genres of music.
- Imagery – separate stories from within the magazineHeader – shows this is the contents pageInformation – a brief segment of information on previous issues. Reoccurs within each issue providing familiralityColumns of contents - Pages of interest are displayed here
- Page header – gives the reader an brief idea of what/whom the page is featuringPull quote – a snippet of information from within the text of the page, it also draws the readers attentionImagery – the imagery features the same subject in various scenarios in relation to the textColumns of text – this is the main text it is not to long but provides a substantual amount of information on the subject
- Body jewellery - This is another attribute of which the social groups are stereotyped as being associated with Clothing - The clothing within the magazine is that which is often stereotyped as being in relation to the genre of music.Font styles - The font styles that have been used would be found attractive by the social groups as it is similar to existing media product they would be associated with. E.g. Terrorizer magazine
- This company would distribute my magazine as it already has several magazines of the same genre this shows the company has experience with similar products.
- Teenagers or young adults would be interested in this magazine as they may want to move away from main stream music. They would find it appealing if they interested in the music/bands featured. They also may have friends/family which listen to this genre of music. They possibly would like to know about the bands they listen to and learn of latest album releases or tour dates. They may also play instruments themselves so they take more interest in the music with music similar to that they play
- The blending options – I used this tool on my masthead and on imagery, the main effect I used from the blending options was the stroke tool. I used this on my mast heads to make Bolden it, as well as on images to give it the effect of a Polaroid image.The eyedropper tool – I used this tool to help maintain the same colour scheme throughout the product. This was useful as the colour scheme was a main part of my product design.The polygonal lasso tool – this tool was used to cut down images and take sections from an image e.g. removing backgrounds. This was useful as it gave me the opportunity to play around with images and remove anything in the background which wouldn’t have fit with the magazine.
- Looking back on the preliminary task, I feel that I have learnt a great amount as going into the ancillary project I hadn’t used Photoshop before, meaning I had very little knowledge of even the basic’s. However since then I have gained a vast knowledge on the subject, I am able recognise when magazines have used the Guttenberg design or the rule of thirds.I am also able identify and name what magazines have used to make there product more desirable one example being the use of cover lines and pull quotes and use these same design ideas within my own product. I have learnt how to recognise how media products cater to their target audiences needs and how the audiences are devised by social groups. As well as identifying my own products target audience, social groups and how I can use different methods to attract them to my own magazine.
- As I became more capable of using Photoshop I was able to add detail to my magazine, changing the background from a single colour. Also by adding a title which have been edited to my magazine gives the magazine a more recognisable appearance
