LO2 of Unit 13 for CTEC media

2. Proposal for PULSE

3. Proposal for Electro Eskimo

4. Mood board 1

5. Mood board 2

6. Mood board conclusion
I will include this in my magazine mainly because it
will be used for advertisement of the company as
well as make the magazine seem more professional
as we are getting sponsors to continue publishing
the magazine.
I will include this in my magazine because by
including artists in the magazine it will help
bring in more readers who like the artists
giving my company more money. Furthermore,
this artist performs music which my magazine
is based of so by including them in it it will help
give the magazine the same feel as their music.

7. Front page Inspiration

8. Front page Inspiration analysis
Main image: the main image of
the artist should be large so the
reader knows what the article is
on about and I would like to
recreate this layout for the main
image is in my magazine due to it
being bold and eye catching.
The main headline of the page
is the second biggest text on
the page because this is what it
would be focusing on in this
issue. It is also all in capital
letters to help it stand out more
from the rest of the magazines
that would be featured.
The cover lines are fairly
big but not as big as the
main headline due to the
fact that the main
headline needs to be big
as that is what the
magazine is featuring the
issue on.
The masthead is the biggest
text on the magazine cover
with it being very bold. I would
like to incorporate this into my
magazine so it is very eye-
catching and help the
magazine seem more
professional
The barcode is located at the bottom right of the
page which helps to keep it out of view of the main
image yet visible enough to know how much the
magazine costs. I will be placing my barcode in the
same place for the exact same reasons.
In this issue of Vibe magazine the strapline is not evident
which goes to show that its such a well known magazine
it does not need one. For my magazine ill be placing on
underneath the masthead of the magazine.

9. DPS Inspiration

10. DPS Inspiration analysis
Main image: the main
image of the artist
should be large so the
reader knows what the
article is on about and I
would like to recreate
this layout for the main
image is in my magazine
due to it being bold and
eye catching.
The stand first: the stand first is the introduction to the article
and the way this magazine has done it is with a simple pun hat
brings some humour to it. I would use this method of introducing
the article as it makes it more lighthearted rather than being all
serious.
Differentiated questions: This is used effectively as we can see what type
of questions were asked to the celebrity and see what their answer was. It
is also an easy layout for the reader to understand and read as the
questions are highlighted in bold to differentiate them from the answers. I
would use the technique of making the questions bold or changing the
colours in general as it will help the reader to see the questions and
answers more clearly.

11. What will you ‘repeat’
(Steve Neale-1980)
In my magazine I would keep the layout of the magazine the same way as my
magazine of inspiration. This is because the way its laid out is easy for the reader to
see what the issue of the magazine is about and what else is being the featured.
The only thing that I would change between the 2 magazines I would be doing would
be the colour of the background and the font of the text. This is because there is only a
few things I could change between the two magazines that are not so obvious such as
the name of the magazine.

12. What will you ‘repeat’
(Steve Neale-1980)
In my magazine, more specifically the double page spread ,I would keep the layout of
article the same way as my magazine of inspiration. This is because the way its laid out
is easy for the reader to see what the questions are as well as what the artists
response to them is without them being overwhelmed with text.
The only thing that I would change between the 2 magazines double page spread would
be the location of the artists main image. This is because it will not give of a much of a
variety when doing the double page spread if it was only located on the left page on the
article.

13. Magazine ideas
Types of images
Frequency
Brand identity
Masthead
Colour scheme Target audience
I want to have bold colours
so that it will stick out more
from the rest of the
magazines that would be
featured at local news
agents.
The main image would be a
close up cutting of at the
shoulder line.
Masthead names:
- Electro Eskimo
- Pulse
these names are very catchy and simple which would help draw
in an audience from the public.
The target audience is aimed at those
between 16-24. This is because it will
feature electro-pop music from artists
such as Alan Walker and Tobu.
My main colours for the magazine will
be black , white and blue which fades
from dark blue to light from bottom
to top. This will help the magazine to
stand out as they are bold colours.
I will also be putting in small
thumbnail photos of other
artists to promote them on the
sides of the front cover.
My magazine will be released weekly
My logo will be placed on every
page in the magazine at the top
right corner of the page. This way
the reader now that the magazine is
created by me even if the front
cover has been ton of.

16. Chosen font style
I have chosen these two font styles as the final choice of what the font
will be on the final product as they are both unique in their own way and
the font them selves incorporate the name of the title in it.

17. Summary of ideas
This is for both of my magazines
• The chosen genre for my magazines will be electro as this is what teens are
listening to in todays society.
• The house colours of my magazine will Blue, white and black. This is because
these are very bold colours and it will help with drawing in readers from where
they are placed at the local newsagents.
• The target audience for my magazine will be people aimed at people between 16-
24 and are generally social climbers in society.
• The price of my magazine will be £2.40
• The size I will be making my magazine will be a4 as it will contain all the necessary
information while being easy to transport around with you.
• These ideas are being used for both of my magazines as they are very similar to
each other.

21. Drafts I will be using
I will be using the
same layout for the
DPS because it looks
like it is in a
professional layout.
This one is for
Pulse magazine
This one is for
Electro Eskimo
magazine

22. Target audience
Hartley:
Age- my magazine is aimed for people who are between the ages of 15- 24 years old. This is due to the fact that the newer generation of
todays society would like to keep in touch with the newest bands that are being featured on today’s social network.
Gender- the gender for my magazine can vary due to the fact that most of the new generation in todays society like electro music and the
genre itself is not really aimed at a specific gender group therefore my magazine will be aimed at both genders.
Class- my magazine is mainly aimed at people who are high in the class system for example a person who is the owner of their own company.
This is due to the magazine using sophisticated lettering as its font as well as the use of words to describe an artist. If it were to be aimed at
people whop are lower in the class system such as an unemployed person, the magazine would include words that would be befitting for
them such as using slang for their typical age group.
Katz:
Personal identification- My magazine helps the audience to relate to the character they are featuring by including all their struggles that they
have faced in order to get to the place they are now. This helps the audience relate to their troubles and believe in themselves to achieve
great things like the characters in the magazine have.
Personal relationship- My magazine helps to create a personal relationship between the reader and character through including what they
normally do on a daily basis. This makes the reader relate to the characters as they may be doing things that the characters themselves do.
Informed and educated- My magazine educates and informs readers because they are expected to give information about recent bands and
singles that would eventually stick to the minds of the young so they can use later when they tell others about what they have learned in the
magazine.
Diversion- My magazine helps to divert readers from reality due to them wanting to live the lives the characters the magazine is covering .
They do this through going into a lot of detail when describing the characters lives so the reader can immerse themselves into the text and
imagine that they were living a similar life
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs:
My magazine is aimed for those who are social climbers in society. This is because the magazine usually covers characters who have gone
through a lot to go against others expectations of them whether they were thought to achieve a lot or nothing at all. This helps to indicate
that the magazine is trying to promote this and that we should be able to do anything we want in life and not just follow what people want us
to do.

23. Form and Style
• The style of my magazine will be very bold with clear lettering across all pages of
the magazine. This is because I want my magazine to be very clear to the reader
and for them not to be overwhelmed with two much information.
• For the house colour’s for Pulse magazine, I want them to be black, white and
blue. This is because these colour’s are very bold and with the colour blue you can
make a lot of variants of the colour such as azure or turquoise. The white will also
help to make the main headline of the page as it is quite bold and noticeable when
you put it over a dark background.
• For the house colours for Electro Eskimo magazine, I want them to be black, white
and silver. This is because these colours are again very bold and I want them all to
make each other standout when being shown on the front cover

24. Conclusion
• This learning objective helps me to decide what I am
going to use and how I am going to produce my
magazine with all of its content and how it is going to
be presented. This will also make it easier to produce
the magazine as I have already thought of what I am
going to include in the magazine and how it will be
presented to the readers instead of thinking it on the
spot which will cause me to run behind schedule and
not get the magazine published in time.
