PERSONAL LEARNING
AND REFLECTION
Reflection on Front Cover Analysis
• My analysis of front covers has taught me a lot about how to
  produce my own front cover, for example I now know that bright
  colours against a contrasting background are a necessity to attract
  consumers. In addition I will be using particular props in my photo
  shoot to convey the right things about my featured artist in relation
  to the nature of the rap and hip-hop industries. I will also use a
  bright costume on the central image to ensure that this is the focus
  of a potential consumers attention as this was what most of the
  responders to my survey said was what drew them to a particular
  magazine. Otherwise I have observed that the less effective and
  professional looking front covers were those that were cluttered
  and as a result I will limit the number of cover lines on mine so that
  they attract audiences and convey concisely the content of the
  magazine, without giving excess and unnecessary information.
Reflection on Contents Page Analysis
• From my analysis of contents pages I have concluded that there is really
  only one main layout of an image adjacent to the contents lines however I
  have learnt that the size of this image as well as the mise en scene of it
  and the colour scheme of the overall contents page are very important.
  Therefore I will be shooting the contents page image for my magazine in
  black and white and otherwise keeping the colour scheme mutes and
  quiet to contrast with the bright front cover. I am also going to make the
  image larger than the writing on the page, but not by a drastic amount
  instead it will show the artists importance without overshadowing the
  rest of the content of the magazine which I have seen happen in some of
  the contents pages I have analysed. In addition because I am using a
  female model for my photo shoot I will ensure that the representation of
  gender is that which I want to convey – a counter-stereotype as opposed
  to the industry standard perception of women and I will factor this into
  the mise en scene and blocking in the image itself.
Reflection on Double Page Spread Analysis
• My double page spread analysis has revealed two layouts I could
  use and what is conveyed through both, the first that includes more
  text and a comparatively smaller image conveys more of what I
  would like to convey than the alternative that reveals less about the
  actual artist and person and more about others perceptions of
  them. As a result I will be using the first layout, with one large or
  two slightly smaller images and at least toughly 750 words of text
  on the artist and their interview with the magazine. I will use two
  images of the female artist working as this is what I would like to
  represent – the hard work necessary to succeed etc. not just the
  rewards at the end, I feel that the larger image combined with less
  text reflects negatively on the artist and implies they aren’t
  prepared to reveal themselves to their fans and because I don’t
  want to show this I will not be using this type of layout for my
  double page spread.
Reflection on Audience Research
• My audience research has taught me what the mass market looks
  for in a front cover and what attracts them to a front cover as well
  as what features would be most popular and therefore what to
  include in my contents page and how important various other
  aspects of the production of a magazine allowing me to prioritise
  them in relation to the mass audiences preferences. In addition I
  will be focusing on my photo shoot as the central image came back
  as most the most important part of a front cover and the colour
  scheme, the research also helped me understand the mass market
  perception of rap and this will help me steer the content to them in
  order to create the most consumer friendly product I can. My
  contents page will be heavily influenced by the responses given the
  understanding of peoples views on rap that the research has given
  me as well as which target audience I am targeting in the first place.
