Detailed audience feedback
This is the picture I took just to prove that I have done the work. I have collected the feedbacks from my friends, they told me what they think about my work and some of them said what should I s)ll improve.
Magazine front cover feedback results(draR)
Feedback 1-‐ in my opinion I think that the magazine is very colorful and aTracts the aTen)on of the viewers. By looking at the front cover the magazine looks very informa)ve and is up to date with what’s go in the media. Feedback 2-‐I like the way you have made the main color to be red because it makes it stand out more. I also like the way that each of the headlines have their own thing that makes them stand out. Feedback 3-‐Bad-‐the quality of the picture is quite poor and not vibrant. I would like to see more info about what is inside the magazine. Good-‐Very simple, but effec)ve. I like the )tle and the font. Feedback 4-‐The cover is good, the colors use is very eye catching improvements could be more pictures like Katy Perry on the side and Jus)n Bieber because someone might not know who they are. Feedback 5-‐Looks good quality and good layout/scheme colors. Bold so catches eye. Improvement maybe include pictures of celebs you have listed e.g. Katy Perry.
Improvements(draR)
I have did the improvements for my magazine front cover, as feedbacks state they wanted more images to see on the front cover because many people they don’t know these celebri)es so they want to know how do they look like, so I have added some images.
Magazine contents page feedback results(draR)
Feedback 1-‐The magazine contents page has bold front and stands out. It informs the viewers of what’s in the magazine and the images also make the content page more visual and appealing. Feedback 2-‐I like the way that the contents page has been laid out as everything has its own place the images also finish off the page. Feedback 3-‐This contents page looks rather professional. The colors are very warm and balanced. The photographs link very well to the story and contents. Feedback 4-‐it good and clear it tells you what is in the magazine. Feedback 5-‐Very good layout, bold. Font size is just right it’s readable. Pictures good quality. Eye catching contents page.
Improvements
I have done improvements on feedbacks I have collected from my target audiece.I have changed some colours to make it look my three pieces of work look as similar as possible, because when the front page cover, contents page, and DPS looks similarly you can tell that all three pages are definitely from the same magazine. So I have changed this creamy color to white.
Magazine double page spread feedback results(draR)
Feedback 1-‐The double page spread asks key ques)ons and gives valid answers that the viewers will want to read. Feedback 2-‐I like the way that each of the sec)ons have their own )tle and that they match the rest of the page. I also like the statements at the end of the page. It finishes off the page. Feedback 3-‐Bad:I think the font could be just a liTle bit bigger. Good: I love the font photo and simplicity of this double page spread design. I like the gentle colors you’ve used; they suit the photo and story really well. Feedback 4-‐The page because the way you laid it out makes people read it because it doesn’t look a lot. Also the image makes it look interes)ng. Feedback 5-‐PreTy font/background colors. Good quality picture. Font style is preTy and readable. Nice font headers.
Improvements(draR)
In this double page spread improvements I have changed the font and the colours also,I have matched the same font like I have used on my magazine cover page,and the color as on my all three works to make it more similar.
Evalua)on comments As the results shows people were happy about
my magazine cover nearly all said good things about it and just a few said what should I improve so I have improved ,showed this first as a draR and I will make another one to make it more professional and more interes)ng than the first one. ?
In what ways does my media products use, develop or challenge forms and conven)ons of real media products?
I actually was looking at real magazines that are stored in the shops and also in Internet. When I was crea)ng my own magazine I have looked at codes and conven)ons-‐ different mastheads what texture is used on the magazines, how does the text is laid out, what straplines are used, what is most aTract my eyes when I am looking at the magazine etc. So first of all when I looked at the real media products my aTen)on was grabbed at the bright colors, the )tles about famous people, the price and also the photos are used on the cover also when I am looking for a magazine I am looking for a magazine which looks more girly I am never gebng a magazine which has a car or a boy on it and its dark and cold, I am gebng one with a bright colors so that’s I think the main thing which represents a gender and age that magazine is supposed to be for. I have looked at magazine called seventeen and Cosmo girl because is usually very colorful and usually for girls. The codes and conven)ons were similar to mine magazine, I tried to look at the design and the way how the text is laid out, also I was looking what colors were used, what font was used etc.
What kind of media ins)tu)on might distribute my media product and why?
I have done a research on different media ins)tu)ons that distribute magazines. I have chose media ins)tu)on called “BBC Magazines” because I think that this is the most suitable for my magazine because this ins)tu)on distributes varied and wide range of magazines that target many different audiences so I though that if they distributes any kind of magazines mine would be suitable for it because that means that they provides magazine that target audience can be: teenagers, adults, men, or women and the genre of the magazine is not really important etc. So that is great because there are no special rules to follow and it would be easy to adver)se my music magazine.
These are the magazines that were distributes by BBC Magazines media ins)tu)on, which I have decided that my magazine is most suitable to distribute through this media ins)tu)on.
How does my media product represent particular
social group?
The colours,it is bright and eye catching.
The stories on the magazine cover attracts
mainly teenagers girls.
The main picture I have used for the magazine cover
it's usually shows the gender and age for who ir
this magazine is. The design of the text and the way how the text is laid out.
Design of the pages
The topics in the
magazine
Who would be the audience for my media product?
The target audience for my final version of my music magazine around 13-‐20 years old girls. Why girls? Because when I created my magazine I was making bright, feminine colors to aTract only female aTen)on also all the )tles in contents page are created mainly for women I have added the advert that people who reads the magazine are able to win two )ckets to Rihanna’s performance and in my opinion this advert would aTract mainly girls who are the fans of her because boys usually like to go to boys
performances. Also the images that I have used for my magazine is only mine photos no boys photos included so only this represents the target audience is a girls.
Also women should be interested in music and famous singers because all ar)cles in the magazines are about music related things and also the genre of magazine is music. When I showed my magazine to my target audience people girls said that the colors and images are very aTrac)ve, also I have asked some boys to say what do they think about my magazine and they said is good work but is for girls not for boys because of
the colors and the topics inside the magazine.
The reader who would read my magazine?
• As an example of my specifica)on to person that is suitable to read my music magazine is my sister Orinta,she is 18 years old ,she like listen to music especially POP songs like Beyonce’s,Rihanna’s songs. Also she loves to hear others stories about their carier,how they became famous or a good musicians because she want to be a singer, so Orinta I think is the person who would be interested to look at my magazine and read it.
How did I aTract/address my audience?
As my collected feedbacks shows my target audience was aTracted by bright colors, informa)ve looking, the headlines I have used, they also saying that the pictures I used makes more visual and appealing and also links very well to the story I have used so I think that quite good results I got I am happy with their feedbacks because they all said that it looks good. I have used simple photos which my audience girls like it because they think that natural girls on the magazine is beTer than the one with heavy make up and with a lots of Photoshop help.
Bright colors
Story links very well with images/informa)ve looking.
The headlines
What have I learned about technologies form the process of construc)ng this product?
From the process of construc)ng this product I have learned how to use variety of Photoshop adjustments, also how to make it more clearer e.g. when I was crea)ng my contents page I have used lines to separate the )tles of different sector of contents page also that different color for the )tle makes it more outstanding and easy readable. I also learned that many colors and many different fonts make magazine look more childish and not that aTrac)ve as magazine with matched colors and well planned design of font etc. that is why I have used just only three colors to make my magazine cover and most in every of magazine piece I have used these three color res/white/black because I though they matched really well together. To make my media product I have used a number of different technologies like:
• Digital camera • Adobe Photoshop • Word document • Safari Internet
Which helped me to learn new things while I was making my product e.g. Internet helped me to do a research about magazines and look what is the most important to use it. Digital camera I have used to take a different range of photos for my magazine so in the final I was able to choose the photos that are suitable for my magazine, Photoshop program helped me to make changes on the photos. I have improved my knowledge how to adjust the colors, text and everything I needed to make my magazine look more professional looking.
What have I learned from preliminary task to the full
product?
Con)nues next page…
As I looking at my first work (school magazine) and the second work (music magazine) I can tell that I have improved it, I have used more details, also I have used new design to make the text look more outstanding I have added more images into the second work just to make it more interes)ng and eye catching to the target audience. The hardest thing to overcome was to crop the images out and make them look as good as possible, I have blended the contours of the images to make sure that the cropped part of the image wouldn’t look very badly. Also it was hard for me to take photos that would represent the genre of magazine and would be aTrac)ve to the target audience. I really enjoyed and like it the part where I have prepared everything what I need to make my magazine e.g. images, planned text and layout how magazine going to look like. I can tell that my final magazine demonstrates progression in the standards of photography layout and design to my preliminary school magazine, I have learned a lot from the first work, I have feedbacks from it so I was gebng more organised and also I have got and ideas how to make it more interes)ng and aTrac)ve so it was more easier to make the second magazine although it took me longer to make it,anyways I have enjoyed this part of the work when I was crea)ng these magazines.
I have learned a lot of new things in using Photoshop programme I haven’t used that many tools for the first magazine as for the last magazine for example cropping the images I have used this tool to crop the image and now I have used this tool and the tool I have used firstly took longer to crop out because I need to do dot by dot to crop it, but the second tool let me work more quicker I just needed to select the area I want to crop out and its selec)ng by itself I do not need work that hardly. Also I have learned how to make new layer and draw something underneath e.g. text-‐ like I did in the final magazine, I have used a brush and white paints to draw lines under each of the topic )tles on the magazine to make the text look more outstanding and also magazine look more aTrac)ve. I have learned a lot how to use Photoshop and in the future I am willing to learn even more, I have enjoyed crea)ng my own magazines.
Overall in this coursework I have learned how to use Mac computer more easily, also I became more crea)ve. I have learned what is most important to use on the magazine, also what stories are more aTrac)ve to the audience and also I have improved my wriTen skills. I learn how to present the informa)on in more aTrac)ve visual way. I learned more of the media terminology which will be really helpful to me towards to my exam. I have been inspired by others work, and the magazines in the shops & internet I have collected the feedbacks so I have learned what is the most aTracts the audience what do they like and what they do not like. It was hard to do it, but I am happy to do this coursework because I gain a lot of new things, I learned a lot and I hope that during next year I will make my work even in higher standards.
Overall…
Final version of my magazine cover
Final version of my magazine contents page
Final version of my magazine DPS
Comments..
So as you can see I have changed my music magazine in totally different one, I think I have done much more beTer and this version is more aTrac)ve and also all three of them (cover, contents page and DPS) are matched together very well so that makes magazine look more professional and aTrac)ve to the audience. For the next step I will ask some of my friends to make decisions whether is beTer or not and I will show all the feedbacks and their opinions in the next slide.
