The document summarizes a magazine the author produced for a final task. The magazine's target audience is older teen girls ages 15+. Key elements of the magazine include a black and white masthead with purple accents to stand out. The cover feature ties to the main article through its action pose. Interior sections include kickers, cover lines, and a menu strip informed by an audience questionnaire.

3. This is the magazine I have produced for my final task.
The magazine I was producing at first, was purely based on Pop, However some of
the style and content I was producing was a Pop magazine with little elements Indie.
The colour format I had used throughout the magazine were the colours black, white,
purple. I also used pink and yellow in some parts of the magazine.
For my masthead I created one using the colours black and white text, white
outlining was used for the A, while black outlining was used for the rest of the
masthead text. I had also framed the masthead text using black and purple colour
blocking this was used so it was to stand out to the audience. This is because the
masthead is the first part of a magazine a person would come across. The main
feature image that has been used for the cover has been used for the cover is linked
to the main feature article. This is because the action pose the model has links with
the word battle.
With kickers and cover lines I used an image from my photography as my graphic
feature and with a kicker of the name of my artist and then the cover line album
review. This is so that the content of the magazine fits with the audience
questionnaire I created.
The audience question are was also used as a reference to create my menu strip.
The content that was requested by the audience is used throughout in this
magazine. An explanation on this will be explained in the section.
When it comes to the genre of music that you are trying to sell, you need to be able
to have an audience age range and price and the style and content in the magazine.
My product is aimed for older teen girls which is 15+. The interview for my double
page spread has music artists that are around the same age as the target audience,
this is so that they can relate to them and make a connection.

5. The contents page uses the same colour scheme as the cover. There is an
editorial page giving a brief of what the issue of the magazine is about. While there
is an image of two models, this is a link to the main feature article, another is of the
same model but a separate article about them. This is for an album review, which
stated before about me referring back to my audience questionnaire.
For each of the page numbered headings they have been made to draw the reader
in. This is to show the audience that their opinion counts and that only the content
they ask for will be shown in this product. The layout of the page is packed with
information however, I have laid it out so that the text and images are not over
crowded. Also the colour layout of this page has been presented as sophisticated
but fun and bold.
Most of the magazines content is made up of reviews, fashion ,shopping, film and
tv.

7. With my double page spread, I have created the article
battle of the divas in which two artists go head to head with
each other, to see who comes out on top. I have based the
interview around girls the same age as the readers as they
will be able to understand and relate to what the artists say.
Another point to be made is that children listen and absorb
everything that is told to them, which as they are teens they
will still have this but not as much as children. There is a
part in the interview where they talk about money is not the
main factor of producing their music, where in some artists
that is the biggest factor alongside sexualisation. Which in
this magazine doesn’t show this and believe that girls
should be themselves and not be drawn into that side of
publishing.
