CHALLENGE: my magazine challenges the typical magazine as I have placed some parts of my magazine in different places, for example the barcode, usually in the bottom right or left and then what I have placed in the button would usually be placed at the top where the artists names are.

How I Attracted My Target Audience

The fonts and colours that I used linked well to the target audience our magazine is based at. The fonts I used were plain and readable to give them a formal look but also at the same time I tried to make the text the same as what it would be in a music magazine.

The main image I used was of someone i thought looked like a pop artist and would appeal to the audience of the magazine. The stories that included could link well to the audience as people who read the magazine are just starting to go and do what they want in life so tips like I included in my magazine like how to make your voice pitch perfect work well. It also doesn’t contain anything that wouldn’t be suitable for the audience like bad language.

Technologies

The different types of technology I used are mainly different programs and software but also I used a few different pieces of hardware.

The types of software I used are; Photoshop, Blogger, Word, 1001 free fonts, PowerPoint. The types of hardware I used were the Digital Camera and the Video Recorder.

I used PowerPoint to explain certain points that I made like for my evaluation I have used PowerPoint.

I used word to create my article draft which I could then put onto my magazine.

Blogger is what I put everything about my blog onto including the preliminary tasks, the planning and the actual magazine.

I used this to get the fonts in needed to fit into the genre that I chose so the fonts suited my magazine

I used Photoshop to edit the raw photos that I had taken this is to give them a more professional look by changing things like the brightness and cutting out the unwanted background.

I used this to take my raw photos for the magazine these would then be edited and put onto the magazine

we used this for our audience research, this included us going out and finding out what people like and what they would want in a magazine

From the preliminary task I have seen that there are many things that you have to consider when making a magazine from simply just selecting fonts to having to edit the pictures but also positioning of photos and text. Some of the things that I have learnt are shown in the pictures below.

The page that you have should always be filled there is no need for empty space something else can always be thought up to be put there.

The price is shown in a button, if the button has a filled background like making it blue it will stand out and people will see it easily on the page.

On this you can see that this is a very effective bar, it is as though it is separating this part from the rest of the magazine on the shelf this part would be the main part as well as the masthead they will see

I also found that splitting it into sections helps in the fact that all of the text being in one place then the images being in another isn’t always the best way to position it.
