Preliminary task powerpoint
The document provides guidelines for designing an effective magazine cover and contents page. It recommends placing the masthead behind the central image but ensuring it is still readable. The cover lines and slogans should draw the reader in using persuasive language. The central image should be relatable to the target audience. Contact information belongs on the contents page for relevance. Regular and special features headings help readers understand what to expect in each issue.
Photos I am going to use
The document discusses using various concert photos taken by the author for different sections of a school project, including a double page spread, front cover, graphic features, plugs, posters section, and contents page. Photos mentioned include ones of 'A day to remember' at a concert, the band 'You me at six' at a concert, Deaf Havana at a concert, and Enter Shikari.
Media companies and institutions
The main magazine institutions in the UK are Immediate Media, EMAP, IPC Media, and Bauer. EMAP produces business-to-business magazines and organizes conferences. They publish titles like Architects Journal and Broadcasting. Immediate Media was formed from the merger of BBC Magazines and publishes magazines and websites reaching over 11 million people. IPC Media publishes magazines across different genres including Marie Claire, NME, and Country Life. Bauer Media is a large German company that owns magazines in the UK like Grazia, Heat, and Empire.
Photos from my photo shoot
The photos from a photo shoot will need slight editing in Photoshop to brighten them, but overall the photographer is pleased with the variety and high quality of photos that can be used.
Contents pages
The document analyzes several music magazine contents pages to identify best practices for design. Key findings include using taboo language to appeal to younger readers, incorporating many images over text for easy scanning, employing mid/close-up shots to convey emotion, and advertising in bright boxes to draw attention. Varied fonts, integration of photos with text, and balancing information across the page are also important. Analyzing real contents pages provided valuable insights into techniques that engage readers and will inform the design of the author's own contents page.
Audience research questionairre
This document summarizes audience research conducted for a proposed new music magazine. It shows that NME was the most preferred magazine brand. Interviews and coverage of festivals/gigs were the most interesting content. Most respondents would spend £1-2 on a magazine and buy them weekly. In terms of design, red, black and blue was the preferred color scheme and images over text. This research provided valuable insights into readers' preferences that can be applied to designing an appealing magazine for this audience.
Evaluation of preliminary task
The document summarizes the student's process for developing a preliminary task of designing a college magazine cover and contents page. The student followed typical magazine conventions like using a masthead, slogan, coverline, central image focusing on a student's eyes, and barcode. For the contents page, the student included a relating title, words to create a friendly tone, and buzzwords to draw attention. The student learned following conventions helps make the magazine look realistic, and better photography quality would improve realism.
Question 5, How did you appeal to and attract your audience?
The document summarizes feedback received from a target audience on a magazine prototype and describes changes made based on that feedback. The front cover was adjusted to reduce the prominence of posters and better feature the festival guide plug. The contents page changed the subscription box to be smaller and added photos based on audience feedback. Feedback indicated the double-page spread was satisfactory as is.
