completed music magazine

evaluation -question 7

my front cover of my magazine has completely changed, my college magazine looks very unprofessional how Ive just placed pictures and text anywhere, which looks like I haven't thought about the layout at all where as on my music magazine Ive used guidelines to line text and pictures up which looks a lot better. My college magazine looks very plain compared with my music magazine as there's hardly any text or any detail that stands out on it.Looking at the picture quality on my music magazine the photograph is very clear, good lighting and good use of the SLR camera on the other hand my college magazine has a very blurry photograph and also when I've cut around the image it isn't very neat.

My college magazine contents page looks very quality compared to my music magazine I think this is because when I did my music magazine Ive gained more experience with working on photoshop, learning how to use the tools better  and also using the SLR cameras better.
my contents page is once again very plain and boring and quite a lot of empty space. The layout of my music magazine looks much more professional and neat compared to my college magazine and also  like the cover the photographs for the college magazine are very poor quality.



overall my progress from my college magazine to the music magazine has improved a lot, you can see with my music magazine that I'm a lot better using the technology's and think more about what im going to do especially on things like the layout.

Evaluation - Question 6

 I used Photoshop for my cover, contents page and double page spread.It was really easy to use and I could use it for everything I needed to create my music magazine.

I used the SLR camera to take my photographs for all my magazine pictures this made my photos clear and good quality.

I used blogger to show me making my magazine, I kept my blogger updated so it showed what I'd done step by step.

I used prezi at the very start of my magazine to introduce the name, the price, publication line, where my magazine would be distributed, I also used prezi for a question in my evaluation.

I used flickr in my evalaution to annotate jpegs of my magazine.

Evaluation - Question 4

who would be the audience for your media product and why?

My target audience would be teenagers to early twenty's, I think this because the type of music RnB is its aimed at a younger generation. my magazine is aimed at both male and female but I would say more Males would purchase it as its more stereotypical.

I have said my target audience would shop at places like Topshop, Topman, River island which are  all high street shops where they sell fashionable clothing. I have also said my target audience would watch programmes like Geordie shore ,Celebrity juice and only way is Essex these are all programmes aimed at my target audience.

Evaluation - Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

 

POSTURE: My models posture in comparison with the image of Kelly Rowland is quite similar as both models have there  hands on there hips to give some attitude, I haven't made my model face straight on as tilting her head and standing a little bit to the side gives more of a RnB feel and a edge to it.

GESTURE:The face gestures on each of the models are very similar apart from my model has a little bit of a smile on hers just to make a little bit different from vibe.

ANGLE:The angle of the camera is straight on to show my model is confident and showing attitude towards the camera. Having a straight view shows off the models pose very well just like the image of  Kelly Rowland.

SHOT TYPE:  Ive used a mid long shot, so it mainly focuses on the models face to show off the hair and make up but also giving a small look into what the model is wearing this is something vibe have done.

COSTUME: Both models are wearing the colour white which is a nice light colour so isn't dull and boring to look at but my model also has a pattern on her top which makes the outfit a little bit more interesting.

LIGHTING: both are photographs are done in high key lighting so the models can be noticed easily also the backgrounds are both plain so the focus is on the models not the background which I think Is important.

EXPRESSION: I wanted a similar expression on my model that was on Kelly Rowland  which i did but i also got my model to smile a little which i think gives a bit more of a edge.

HAIR: I've tried to do quite a similar hair style to Kelly Rowland as i did quite a curly look with shorter hair but i didn't have a fringe as i wanted to show my models make up off.

MAKE UP: I've done quite similar make up with my model by doing dark eyes and a flawless look just like Kelly Rowland but my model has red lips which i think add to the RnB look.
