looking back on my preliminary task..

• From my school magazine (preliminary task) I have learnt how and where to use informal and formal language and images for who the audience is. I have learnt that there a lot of audience not only buy age but by race, ethnicity, disability, gender. That helped me with my music magazine as it had to connect with my target audience. My layout improved my magazine as in my preliminary task the layout was to close together that people couldn’t understand/ see what they where reading and the theme colour for my magazine was boring and dull that it made my target audience not interested to read the articles. The improvement took place to make my target audience drawn towards to the magazine that it will make my target audience want to know more about it. Throughout the process of making the magazine I've learnt to use a lot of software as Photoshop, serif, picnic, tumlr and many more.

What technologies I learnt in the process of making…

• I’ve learnt a lot of ICT skills in making my magazine for example where to make my magazine (by using Microsoft publisher) in how to collect information (windows notebook) how to edit pictures (Serif/Photoshop) how to upload blogs music, video, images, presentation (blogger).

Addressing and attracting the Audience

• I addressed/attracted my audience by giving them a product they want/need by using celebrities they know, music they enjoy listening and talking about. Using languages and text the can understand and read. I put competitions, gossip, features for women to enjoy after a hard day at work or to read in there spare time. The colours where attractive enough to want to pick them up from other magazines.

Audience• I decided my target audience to be aged 16-25 year old, working people

who would be able to afford my magazine weekly. They will be American and English men and women but more for women as they are more artist who have a specific audience (female) there interest would be R&B music. They would want the magazine as friends will be talking about my product and they would not want to be left out, so they will be purchasing my product as a shopping habbit.

.

IPC• IPC is an institution which distributes magazine. They publish everyday

magazines which have specific target markets. Categories: country pursuits and equestrian, fashion and beauty (now), home interest, lifestyles, sport and leisure, teen, TV entertainment, women's weeklies, young men, music (NME). Most of the categories are more towards to women and IPC will more than likely publish/distribute my magazine as my target audience is more towards women and my product is a gap in the market because they don’t have R&B magazine that they are disrupting at the moment. And as people know IPC is a well know institute they will trust that the magazine will be good for them.

Social Groups• My text and images show anyone can be famous as long as they try hard to

get where they are now giving my audience hope to feel if they work hard they will get a good result. The main race are black as there are more main artist known for sing R&B. But they are mixed of races, class and religions in my magazine.

Magazine• My magazine uses mastheads, bar codes, price, image, logo, social media,

sell lines, anchorage text, colour, completion, freebies, feature, contents, gossip, advertisement Est. I used them so my magazine will just be like magazines you get in the shops. I put my own twist on my magazine showing that it is a unique and sleek magazine which the target audience would like to read or purchase my magazine.
