My Ideas Hand Drawn....

These rough ideas for what my front cover, content page and double page spread. This is the bases for what i'm going to do on each pages. For example my main idea is a perosn holing a sign saying 'Tomorrow Land 2013' as my kind of masthead

Price

I have also decided that the magazine will be aimed to comfort all status levels whether you they are poor or rich. I will do this by making it a monthly magazine at a price of £3.75 so the poorer class have time to save up for the magazine. Also the price will be this much because of the amount of content there will be in there to make up for it been monthly. Also i have look carefully looked through other music magazines at the amount of stuff that they offer you compared to the price therefore i am happy to say that the price i have given mine will be suitable and be able to get the most from the readers.

Focus Group

This is just one of the groups that we interviewed about whether they buy magazines and what they look for in them so we recored it as proof

Target Audience

To help decide what you target audience your magazine you first need to find out what type of people read music magazines. They do this so that they are able to make it either aimed at or at the right reading and also entertainment level of all ages. One they have got this information they then turn it into a demographic table. What this table is, is a table that tells you the per cent of people that buy that type of magazine. For example what per cent of gender by it, ages, race, ethnicity and status level. The reason that a magazine may want to know what percentage of male or females buy the magazine is very handy to an editor. This is because when it comes down to make it more male or female related you might decide to change the colours. For example most female magazines have pinks and yellows and just generally light vibrant colour. However if it were a males magazine then it would be more dull colours such as blacks and blues. Another thing may be the content of the magazine such as the advertisements and what they try selling you within the magazine. Ages play a huge part in deciding what the content of the magazine should be. Because if the magazine is aimed at young ages say 10 years old, then you’d most likely put things that the children would be able to get involved in and have more simple text with in the magazine therefore putting the older aged people off. However as you get t to about 15-176 years old you tend to be into the same kind of thins as people of an older age who’d by the magazine so you’d have it more fact all base and advertised things such as the gigs that are coming up soon and how to win or apply for tickets. Now your status level does also play a huge part in whether or not you’d by the magazine. For example if you were quiet poor then you want the magazine to be as cheap as possible and every month to be able to spread the cost of the magazine out. However if you were rich then the price wouldn’t really bother you so you’d we still alright to pay a fair price for it and for it to also come out every week so that your more up to date with everything. So from think through about things and thinking who’d I’d like to aim it at and why I would have to say from ages 16+ and because it would be easier for me it would have to be more aimed at boys but there will be girls things in there to. The reason for the 16+ bit is because my main feature for this magazine is the Tomorrow Land festival which is 18+ but I will also be focusing and other gigs for the younger ages.

The conventions/contents analysis of a font cover!

Front Cover:

The conventions of a typical college magazine are things like the masthead, main image, Sell line Colour Scheme, Font and the Headline. The best mastheads are the ones that stand out the most from the background because it juxtaposes it there for clashing with the background and standing o0ut more like black and white does. The main image has to be simple but effective. For example if there’s to much going on in the background or in the hole image then it takes the focus away from the information on the cover and also the point of the magazine. Therefore the simpler the better for example someone holding books near the ‘Wyke’ sign. The sell line is useful because it draw people into the magazine because they want to know about something so you buy the magazine to find out the information. The headline of the magazine is the what the magazine is mostly going to focus on. For example maybe the school uniform or changes to the college that people what your views on. The camera angles used on this magazine is just a straight forward mid shot of a guy holding some books with a plain background so that all the focus is on him. The magazines colour scheme is black, white and also yellow. These colours work well because they are really big opposites of each other which means the clash making them stand out much more than normal. The company in charge of printing the magazine is the college itself. What the magazine tells me that going to this college you are prepared to work hard and do well because he’s holding some books showing that he’s ready to work and also that he’s smiling about it shows that he’s enjoying it. You can tell that this magazine is aimed at people of the ages 15+ the reason for this is because it won’t just be people at the college wanting to buy it but I may give people an idea of how good the college is before they join it, but you can tell this because of the language used in to extremely simple for little children but now to formal like an information booklet. That way it may influence the younger aged audience to read it.

Content Page:

The conventions of a typical contents page are things such as a simple lay out, with a min image, what the magazine has to offer and an insite to the exclusive part in the magazine. There tends to be a background image or even a image of the main selling point of your magazine that relates to it. In this magazine they have chosen to separate it out with different text boxes to spread out the various types of stories within the magazine. For this magazine the most likely people to have printed this magazine are a big printing firm where the magazine could get a good deal. What this magazine tells me as soon as I look at the content page is that its varied all all ages and at all different types of peoples music trends. I’d say that this magazine would be aimed at any aged people who can read well and really enjoy there music and would love to know more about what's going on in the music world.

Camra Framing

1. This is an extreme close up shot. You can tell this because the frame is just over a small part of the person/ object.



2. This is just a close up shot. You can tell this because unlike the extreme close up you have a bit more of the person/ object in the shot but still not to much.



3. This is a mid shot.You can tell this because you don't get a full sot of the person/object however you get at least half of the hole image.



4. This shot isn't quite a long shot however it isn't quite a mid shot so its an in bertween shot.



5. If there were a fifth frame then it would be the long shot. This is because you gate a full shot of the person/ object with out chopping any of it out.

Perliminary Exercise!

Preliminary exercise: using DTP and an inamge manipulation program, produce the frton page of a new school/college magasine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close-up plus some appropiately laid-out text and a masthead. Additionaly you must produce a mock-up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate their grasp of DTP.
