Showing the technologies i used and how ihave developed with using them over the process of making my Product.

Evaluation Question 5.

I attracted my Target audience by making the colours on my pages very vivid and bold making them more eye catching so people would be more likely to be attracted to the product much like the Kerrang covers do. Also like the Kerrang covers, on my cover i have 'Hooks' such as my 'Festival give away quiz' which acts as an attraction to an audience as it's a competition to win tickets to a musical festival it will encourage readers to buy the magazine as they will want the chance to win the tickets. I also used smaller images to give the audience a slightly better idea of what to expect from the magazine and it's also more pleasing on the eye. My main image figure is making eye contact with the audience making it more engaging for the reader and makes it more personal to them. This is also a convention used by Kerrang magazine covers. I used another Kerrang convention of the Bold title introducing the artist with a smaller tagline underneath. Where the Kerrang cover has a slightly more stereotypical image figure on it with the long black hair, i went for a slightly more un-stereotypical approach but at the same time kept the alternative feel to it.

On the left is my original flat-plan design for my front cover and on the top right is my final front cover. There are still remaining features from the flat-plan such as the image positioning, the main image is central in both covers but there are also obvious differences such as the fact that he is no longer holding a guitar and the image in my drawing looks more 'Emo'.  My final piece masthead is completely different from the drawn design, the final one is far bolder and stands out more.

This is a filmed response of someone commenting on my Media product after i asked him a series of questions about it.

Evaluation Question 4 - Target Audiences.

The Target audience for my Media product would be people who are into alternative music which covers Indie, rock, punk and acoustic. The target age ranges overall from 13 to 23 so early teenhood to early adulthood, however, the real focus of age range is early to mid teens around the age of 13-17. The product is primarily aimed at teenagers because that is the age where rebelliousness kicks in, and when they start discovering their identities personally and also musically, branching out from mainstream music towards the Alternative Genre so because of that the aim is to pick up on that and direct this product towards them.

Question 1 of my media Evaluation.

FRONT COVER

This is my final front cover piece. I made improvements from my first version of it, i changed the Masthead font and some of the text fonts, added something to fill the free spaces and also improved the cutting out of the main image.

FINAL CONTENTS PAGE

This is my final Contents page design for my music magazine.

Final DPS.

This is my final double page spread.

MY PEER ASSESSMENT AND STUFF.

My peer assessment of my Double-page spread got, overall,fair positive results.  From what was said, people were fans of my main image, saying that it was a good, strong and striking image. Also people commented positively on my decision to use a running theme from the red and white stripes of the T-shirt in my image and use it as a background banner for my DPS title. My colour choice of the yellow and the red together got mixed reviews with some people liking it and others not so keen. personally, i like the contrast.

As positive criticism I was advised to try and write a further, more detailed article to accompany the page, although some people liked the way it was arranged, it was agreed that more text was needed. It was also suggested that maybe I should try changing the questions of the 'Q and A' into Red font to match the red banner and T-short stripes, however i did experiment with this but did not like it as much.

To improve the page I intend on making the large quote on the left hand side significantly smaller and maybe make the image a bit smaller also to allow more space for further text to be inserted. I also need to fix the fonts as I started on a separate computer which had different fonts and finished on one that didn't have them, so i need to choose a suitable, consistent font type and size.
