Question 5
Question 5
I tried to attract/address my audience by making my
magazine heavily design based, and focusing on the design of my magazine and
less so much of the information, as I would not have to learn about common
jargon as there would be no specific genre or instrument talked about. The
features that I would spend a lot of time designing would be The masthead,
images and page layout I tried to make my front cover very simplistic but still
eye catching, to do this I only used the features that we necessary to create a
front cover i.e. masthead, central image and a barcode. I used very bright colours mixed in with
darker images and text, but I tried to still add a design within the text on my
front cover so I chose a very individualistic font that is almost psychedelic I
did this to appeal to the target audience as it gave them an indie, stylish
appearance.
Question 7
The main thing I learned about developing a final
media product from my preliminary task is to focus on each feature of a music
magazine separately i.e. to divide time to do each task i.e. taking photos,
editing photos, designing masthead etc. For my preliminary task I didn’t take
time with each aspect. For example my photographs weren’t planned so I didn’t
have an interesting setting and my subject only wore ordinary clothing. Due to
the failure of my photography in my preliminary task I thought about my photos
for my main magazine a lot. I staged them and had them wear suitable clothing;
this benefitted the design of my magazine enormously. I find this easier than
simply designing each page as I go as I often found that doing this I wasted a
lot of time going back and forth from doing photography too writing etc. I also tried to develop the way I use language
within my magazine, instead of just writing off the top of my head I would think
about the language that is used between my target audience.
