my progression

Awareness of how

consideration of the

target audience

determines the

outcome of decisions

made during the

production processLayout

Draft layout Importance of the “main

sell” (”Bright Eyes

Special”)

Helps to connote the

genre of the magazine to

the target audience

Fonts- some are only

suitable to one gender

Found out the ones

suitable to both genders

Changed original „reverse

out ‟

Puff - Music related

- To advertise

the magazine

to the audience

Wanted to keep it simplistic-

focus on the main image

I learnt:

Draft layout

Inserted two text boxes

into the 2- column layout

Originally too ordered-

wanted it to be chaotic

Use of photographs on

the contents page

Advertises the articles on

the inside- used models

that fit the demographic

audience- audience can

relate to them

Use of graphics makes

the page more visually

interesting

Importance of the page

layout

Too ordered layout is

boring- adding extra

boxes makes the page

more interesting to the

audience

I learnt:

Importance of the page layout

2 column layout makes the article easy

to read

How to place a shadow behind the

images to makes them stand out from

the page- then used the shadow

behind the text to make the page more

visually interesting

How to write an article in the right tone

suited to the target audience- informal

language best for my audience

I learnt:

Topic of article needs to

relate to the psychographic

of the audience- they are

not mainstream

During my progression from my preliminary task to my final product, I

have learnt:

Importance of doing extensive research into your target

audience

Produce different example layouts for the different pages

Timing- produce a detailed time plan as you may encounter

problems you might not expect

Look at more examples of similar magazines- help get ideas suitable

to your magazine

Use smaller font sizes than normal- size 8 is still too big for

the text in your article

Simplistic front cover needed- suitable to my target audience for my

final product and a more chaotic front cover suited to my audience

in my preliminary task.
