I found through research and planning that looking at other magazines in the same genre helped me create one suitable for my target audience. Genre research showed R&B/Hip-Hop/Rap magazines have a mature, professional look with few smiles and primary colors that stand out. Textual analysis showed imagery is important, so I focused on skills and variety of photos. It also taught that sometimes less is more while including enough to engage readers. Researching costumes and props clarified the magazine's look and allowed informing models to prepare. Font research from DaFont.com provided options to choose the perfect one.
Question 7
The student has learned that planning and time management are important for organizing work and avoiding rushing. Research helped with planning their magazine concept and content. Drafting skills improved from gaining a clear vision. Photographic skills like using plain backgrounds and varied shot types improved. Editing skills in Photoshop and layout skills in InDesign developed. The student thinks they improved from the preliminary task by applying learned skills and addressing prior issues.
Evaluation Question 7
The document discusses what the author learned from their preliminary magazine cover task to their final magazine product:
1) Research and planning are essential - for the preliminary task there was little research or planning, but extensive research and planning went into the final product.
2) Photoshop skills improved greatly - the final cover looks much more professional with varied colors, exciting cover lines, and refined sections compared to the preliminary task.
3) Importance of high quality images - a point and shoot camera was used for low quality preliminary images, but an SLR and image editing skills produced much better images for the final product.
Final
1. The document outlines a coursework assignment to produce elements of a print magazine, including a front cover, contents page, and double-page article spread.
2. Research was conducted on existing music magazines to inform design choices. Elements like consistent branding and a balance of images and text were noted.
3. A mock music magazine was produced following the researched conventions, including a front cover featuring an original band photo, a contents page with photos and article previews, and a double-page interview article spread. Original photos were taken and image editing software was used to prepare the elements.
Evaluation Question 7
The author's preliminary task for their magazine project was an initial attempt to get comfortable with the software and topic. While it was a good starting point, the author's final product was of a much higher standard due to practicing more and researching magazine conventions. The preliminary task served as a base to build upon and allowed the author to develop their ideas by comparing to professional magazines. This helped them improve various design elements like fonts, colors, images and layout for the final magazine.

Evaluation
My music magazine's front cover and contents page use conventional layouts seen in other magazines, but the double page spread has an irregular layout that challenges conventions. The color scheme uses unusual bright neon colors not typically seen.
The magazine represents the "Smart Urban" social group as it focuses on urban/R&B/hip hop music. Its lively colors represent this group's partying lifestyle.
Future PLC and Bauer are unlikely to distribute the magazine as their existing magazines have different genres. IPC Media may distribute it since they only have one music magazine, allowing them to branch out into another genre.
The target audience is the "Smart Urban" tribe of teenagers who like downloading artists like Usher,
