Audience Targeting Booklet
This document discusses how advertisers categorize audiences and consumers. It describes social categories (A, B, C1, C2 etc.) based on occupation and income in the UK. It also discusses demographic factors like age, gender, education level, and lifestyle values that advertisers use to target specific audiences. Newspaper and magazine readers are often segmented by these categories to help advertisers understand their potential customers. The document provides examples of how The Sun newspaper profiles its own readership based on these types of categorizations.
Stages
The document summarizes the process of designing a logo for a film production company called "The Eye Productions". Key steps included: selecting Adobe Photoshop as the design tool, finding a free eye image online to edit, experimenting with effects like reducing opacity and adding an outer glow to make the eye image look scary and emphasize it is watching, and changing the image to black and white to connect it with horror themes. The edited eye image with various effects was intended to appeal to audiences and represent the horror genre of the films.
Horror adobe photoshop practice
The document describes edits made to a photo in Adobe Photoshop to make the subject appear more frightening for a horror project. Changes included making the eyes bloodshot and red, enlarging the nose, adding darkness under the eyes, adding a cracked texture to the face, and darkening the lips - all intended to make the subject seem less attractive and imply agony, gore, scarring or blood.
Presentation1
The document discusses how a student's music magazine compares to an existing magazine, Top of the Pops. It notes that Top of the Pops uses common conventions like prices, dates, images and headlines. It also uses promotions like competitions and celebrity quotes to attract readers, specifically young female fans. For the student's magazine, they aim to appeal to both male and female readers by using a mix of pink, blue and black colors rather than just "girly" colors. They will also include a competition but try to make the magazine less focused solely on girls compared to typical pop magazines.

Creating picture for front cover
I used the Pen Tool in Photoshop to cut out the background and floor from a photo, focusing only on the subject. The Pen Tool allows clicking points around the subject to create a path, which can then be used to delete the areas outside and isolate the subject. This cropping process zoomed in and out as needed and resulted in a cleaned image of just the subject to use on the magazine cover.

Who would be the target audience for your
The target audience for the music magazine is primarily males ages 16-25 who enjoy R&B and grime music, which is male-dominated. However, the magazine may also attract females and aspiring younger audiences ages 11-15, as well as older audiences ages 25-40 who want to feel younger or understand their children's influences. While the genres featured have spread beyond London, the magazine will focus on artists originating from and popular in London.
Evaluation question 4)
The target audience for the music magazine is males and females aged 14-25. This is conveyed through the typography, colors, and images used which are appealing to both genders. The magazine is also aimed at both genders through the use of varying masculine and feminine fonts. It features mostly female celebrities to appeal to female readers who idolize them, while still appealing to male readers who are often attracted to females. The magazine is meant to reject stereotypes of only appealing to one gender.
Evaluation Question 1)
This document discusses how the author's music magazine both develops and challenges existing conventions from Mixmag magazine. Some key ways the author's magazine develops conventions include using a similar organized layout and contents page structure as Mixmag. However, the author also challenges several conventions, such as using bolder, more experimental colors rather than basic colors, adding repetition to catchy slogans, and including a dance music CD as a free gift rather than just music CDs. The author strives to both emulate successful aspects of Mixmag while also making their own magazine stand out through unique challenges to conventions.
Question3
My music magazine would be distributed in stores like HMV, grocery stores such as Sainsbury's, and corner shops. These types of stores are where my target audience of young music fans are most likely to shop since they offer affordable options. Distributing the magazine in these stores means it will have a high chance of being seen by potential readers who have limited options of magazines to choose from. The magazine could also be distributed on music websites, with other publications advertising it to tap into the target audience who frequently use the internet.
My Masthead
The document discusses the design of a magazine masthead. It describes using two different fonts to appeal to both male and female audiences. One font is described as masculine with sharp edges, while the other has a softer, more feminine style. Color choices and layout are also discussed in the context of representing and appealing to both genders. The masthead design is analyzed in terms of how it develops conventions from real media products through its use of typography, color, and layout to effectively communicate with the target audience.
Annotation for photography
This document discusses how the media producer's product represents teenage social groups in a positive light while challenging negative stereotypes. It uses facial expressions, body language, and clothing to show teenagers as ambitious, happy, and mature rather than loud and aggressive. Some photos more directly confront stereotypes by depicting the models in casual clothing with smiles that question why youth are stereotyped. The media product aims to inspire teenagers by portraying pop stars as relatable and natural rather than heavily edited.
