1. AS MEDIA STUDIES G321 FOUNDATION PORTFOLIO EVALUATION By Hannah Maxwell

4. Kerrang! magazine influenced NOISE, because of the way the main cover line cuts across the main image. It also has the same target audience I also liked the posters puff on the front, and the use of the bottom cover line. I have used these ideas on my magazine, ‘Still Nameless’ cuts up the main image, and I have used the bottom cover line to give names of additional bands. I have also done a poster puff. ID magazine influenced NOISE because of the relationship between the masthead and the main image. Each cover person on ID pulls the same sort of winking face as the masthead. On my magazine, I made Jake put his hands in his ears to replicate the hazard symbol I had used instead of the ‘O’.

13. Target Audience – My magazine is aimed at females and males aged 15+ who enjoy/listen to rock music. My magazine aims to give information on everything rock, whether it’s indie or heavy metal. It would therefore appeal to older people who listen to rock music. (the above link shows a questionnaire where I explored my target audience, by asking them what they liked and didn’t like about my magazine. Kerrang magazine is the most similar magazine to mine, as they have the same target audiences.

25. Overall, I think my end product is reasonably successful, and fits the brief well. I have thoroughly researched all aspects of magazines, and I believe that has been reflected in my construction. I think the strongest aspect is my contents page, and the weakest is my front cover. I am really pleased with my use of language and how I have captured the styling's of a rock-music magazine.
