1. Evaluation- Over view analysis
My final three media products, firstly because my genre of music is dance and clubbing music the research I was doing had to be
in this genre of music therefore I researched Mix Mag magazine and DJ magazine these gave me ideas and helped me have an
understanding for all three media products layouts which would suit my genre and connect to the interest of my audience. To
make my magazine connect and look conventional that it was the same magazine I kept to a vibrant and nightlife colour scheme
which would grab my target audience’s attention. The colour scheme that I used was mainly the colours of my magazine logo
‘Rush’ the colours from the strobe lights behind it therefore throughout used the same shade of the colours on all my media
products also I made the colour scheme connect with my mise-en-scene and props from the images and photo shoots. These
colours would entice my audience as it’s youthful and exciting. To make it conventional and look like a real media product I added
page numbers to show continuity. I used the same model/artist on my front cover and double page spread as my main image on
my front cover states who the double page spread is about so it wouldn’t be conventional if on my double page spread I had a
total different story line and artist also this would confused my audience. However, on my contents page I used different images to
make it conventional I talked about what information and other artists and events would be on other pages in the magazine
because it would be unconventional to have the same artist because that shows the full magazine is about one artist therefore
demonstrating I have used more photographs and research. Overall, my information and colour scheme all join and connect nicely
resulting to looking like a real media product. On all pages I have my magazine logo ‘Rush’ this keeps re enforcing the magazine to
the audience and this is conventional plus fits in with the colour scheme and genre
2. Research
• I reached and looked at many
magazines for inspiration but the two
main ones I kept looking at was
MixMag magazine and DJ as these had
my music genre therefore from
researching these I got ideas for layout
types, colour schemes, images and
different features and shapes within
them.
• I researched many fonts for my front
cover, contents page and double page
spread. For mast head, texts,
competitions and cover lines. Because
I experimented a lot these helped me
and gave me a wide range of ideas
and to get the best result.
