Question 4

Question 5

Liked my colour scheme & the fact my models look directly at the camera, other factors they liked that i might of non mention would of been, ' i like your contents page space out your texts equally ' they liked because it carried on my formal theme,however it was not spaced out equally which may of made it look disorganized and less appealing to my audience.

Audience Feed Back

 

I also took on some of the audience’s feedback such as;

What could I improve?

‘Your DPS seems to be an A4 piece; perhaps you redo it as an A3 with a larger image?;

‘You could improve on the layout of your DPS because the image of Victor (the guy on b      the couch’ with the saxophone) looks a bit stretched horizontally and you could have also made the DPS an A3 sheet or paper instead of an A4 sheet of paper’

 

The audience feedback allowed me to analysis my magazine and to see the features they liked  and also features they may have come across  unclear. I was able to redo parts in order to help attract my  audience however some people stated my audience was clear and certain factor like having a white model did not demine my magazine.

Audience said;

 ‘I think that your Black and white colour scheme will attract potential readers to your magazine even if they’re not a part of your target audience and this is because of the fact that most magazines are really colourful or dark (black colours) and your unique colour scheme will defiantly stand out. You target audience will defiantly be attracted to your music magazine for this reason as well.’

‘By representing Jazz, you are able to attract Jazz fans. It is quite formal; this would be appreciated by the audience.’

 This is positive feedback as the targets I was looking to achieve such as keeping a formality tone in my magazine have been achieved

 

 

Question 7

Question 7.            

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? 

I learnt the importance of having a colour scheme and how it can influence people to buy your magazine and, also how crucial it is to link the colour scheme to your target audience as this will help persuade and encourage them to pick up your magazine.I believed I significantly improved due to my case study’s, I was able to look through various magazine and see the methods they used to appeal to their target audience.  Arsenal using red as it links to their emblem and Downbeat changed there’s each issue but still maintain a general colour scheme and kept it basic. Looking back at my audience Feedback I can see how much I improved such as;

‘I think that your Black and white colour scheme will attract potential readers to your magazine   even if they’re not a part of your target audience and this is because of the fact that most magazines are really colourful or dark (black colour  and your unique colour scheme will defiantly stand out. You target audience will defiantly be attracted to your music magazine for this reason as well.

If you look at my bar code on my College task is stands out and affects the quality of my image I learnt that the placement of features can be instrumental when producing a magazine in my music magazine. I choose a more acceptable bar code and also change the side, I did not want to crowd my text into one corner of my page so I decided to spread it out.

My typography also improved if you look at the my college magazine where I used a variety of fonts in came  across tacky, I realized keeping the same font and using standard capitalization on certain text is extremely important as it allows you to make a subtle impact which was important in my music magazine as it was in black and white. Here is some of the feed back below 

' Looking at your college magazine your music magazine i can tell that you have improved tremendously in your editing skills because you gained more experience, and that is the reason why your images, layout of text and images and also your masterhead are incredible.' 

My photography improved as we used more advance cameras and hired out studio’s also my choice of models was better. As I had the opportunity to do a case study I was able to look in detail to see who would feature in my magazine and I chose the best person in my college who fit that description. This is why, my target audience is easy to establish on my music magazine whereas, if you look at the college magazine my colour's and font could have been targets at a variety of audiences and was not specific.

As you can see the layout of magazine has changed. I have equally spaced out the text also used more images an images which relate to my content. If you look at my college magazine;

. I've named it contents page

. Not gave any headings

. Poor Camera (Bad sizing )

. Left  Blank spaces 

. Different colour shades ( Green )

The reason I improved my college magazine was because I was able to look back at details where I went wrong and compare them with my case studies to see where I went wrong.  The main reasons are shown above so, in my music magazine I followed the structure of other stimulus and whereas the college magazine  was just made from scratch with no focus or guidance in my music magazine my aim was to keep it formal. My images has to create a mise en scene so they kept the Jazz feel throughout my magazine, heading & subheadings  where put in bold to make them stand out, we used more advance camera's (Cannon's) and I tried to balance out my text and imagery so I would not leave any blank spots. I also made sure I used the same colour of black through the text.

First Draft & Final Draft Development & Comparison

The reasons why I changed my magazine was because, I felt the masthead did not stand out and attract my audience. Through my research task I found out how significant the lower left third in a magazine is as, the buyers see the lower left third, first when looking at Newsstands in shop. This is the reason why I changed for a more eye capturing masthead which I believe is more effective.

I also enlarged my main cover line as this was one of the key features in my magazine and I did not emphasis this enough on my first magazine.
