2. Awareness of how
consideration of the
target audience
determines the
outcome of decisions
made during the
Layout production process
3. Puff - Music related
- To advertise
the magazine
to the audience I learnt:
Importance of the “main
Draft layout
sell” (”Bright Eyes
Special”)
Helps to connote the
genre of the magazine to
the target audience
Fonts- some are only
Changed original „reverse suitable to one gender
out ‟
Found out the ones
Wanted to keep it simplistic-
suitable to both genders
focus on the main image
4. I learnt:
Importance of the page
layout
Too ordered layout is
boring- adding extra
boxes makes the page
more interesting to the
audience
Use of photographs on
the contents page
Advertises the articles on
the inside- used models
that fit the demographic
audience- audience can
relate to them
Inserted two text boxes
into the 2- column layout
Use of graphics makes
the page more visually
Originally too ordered-
interesting
wanted it to be chaotic
Draft layout
5. Topic of article needs to
relate to the psychographic
of the audience- they are
not mainstream
I learnt:
Importance of the page layout
2 column layout makes the article easy
to read
How to place a shadow behind the
images to makes them stand out from
the page- then used the shadow
behind the text to make the page more
visually interesting
How to write an article in the right tone
suited to the target audience- informal
language best for my audience
6. During my progression from my preliminary task to my final product, I
have learnt:
Importance of doing extensive research into your target
audience
Produce different example layouts for the different pages
Timing- produce a detailed time plan as you may encounter
problems you might not expect
Look at more examples of similar magazines- help get ideas suitable
to your magazine
Use smaller font sizes than normal- size 8 is still too big for
the text in your article
Simplistic front cover needed- suitable to my target audience for my
final product and a more chaotic front cover suited to my audience
in my preliminary task.
