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.
