Front Cover
Hand Drawn Drafts – Preliminary Task
These are my hand drawn drafts for my preliminary task. They helped
me as a guidance when creating my preliminary school magazine in
order to ensure that I was using the correct codes and conventions
and I knew how to layout my magazine
Through the use of the
rectangle tool, I have
used two rectangles of
different colours behind
text in order to make
the text stand out
I added the masthead
using the text tool
I added a strapline using
the text tool, to tell the
audience more about
the magazine and make
it stand out from similar
magazines
I added the St
Paul’s logo, using
the place tool and
then moved it using
the move tool to
place it in the
corner
I added my main
image, and the
enlarged it and held
down on the shift
button to ensure the
picture is not
stretched or pixelated
I have used the
rectangle tool
to create a
rectangle
shape behind
the text. To
make text
stand out
I have added in a barcode,
using the place tool, as it is
a key convention to a
magazine

puff using the
text tool, which
would
specifically
attract to the
target audience
I have added in my
main headline using
the text tool, in order
to attract to the
audiences
gratifications and
needs
I have used the shape
tool to create a shape
to make my puff stand
out on the page
I have added in cover lines through using the text tool, as the audience may not be attracted
by the main headlines. The cover lines therefore ensure that the uses and gratifications
(Katz) are all achieved
I used the
rectangle tool, to
put a rectangle
box behind text
to make it stand
out to the
audience and
appeal to their
needs and
gratifications
I changed the back
ground to a gradient
to make it look more
appealing
I changed the
colour of the
shape so that
continuity through
out my magazine
is displayed
I have changed the
price to make it
more affordable
for the target
audience

Music Magazine – Genre research
The target audience is varied from the age of 16 to 25 as it
incoporates a wide range of genres of mainly pop and R&B
music. This is represented by the artist on the front of the
magazine which attracts a range of audiences. There is a varied
target audience and genre, depending on what is in the charts at
that time – showing audiences influence as the prosumer in
production process.
This Billboard magazine is aimed at love and belonging on Maslow’s
Hierarchy as the target audience is aimed at teens and young adults. This
focuses on the idea on feeling belonged within society in terms of social
groups.
Katz theory focuses on the idea that, women will buy this magazine as they
may be interested in Ariana Grande’s music and the gossip on her life, to get
uses out of it . Where as, men may buy it as they are attracted to the picture
of Ariana on the front of the magazine.
The main image on this magazine is focused very much on the idea of
emphasis on sexuality and physical appearance (Mulvey) in that women are
represented as passive objects of male gaze as Ariana Grande on the front
could attract men and can be seen as scopophilia.
What is the USP of this magazine?
From the research completed into this media product, I think the USP is they
provide a range of different genres, through the use of different musicians for
the main image on each front cover of every magazine. This therefore attracts
a wide range and variation of target audience. Their star appeal (Dyer) and
genre is determined by what is popular in the charts at a certain time –
therefore showing the audience to be the prosumer and determining on what is
produced.
Theory of Music Magazine
Publisher research
Billboard is a internationally well know American music magazine
owned by Prometheus Global Media and headquartered in New York.
It was founded by William H. Donaldson James Hennegan in 1894 and
is one of the oldest trade magazines in the world. They are published
weekly and have a rough readership of 48,000.
Final Choice of magazine
I have chosen to use the Billboard magazine as inspiration to create
my own music magazine as it has effectively used codes and
conventions in ways that look appealing to the target audience with
simplicity. As the target audience is of a similar range to my own I can
then use this to help me design my own, through using the
conventions and design used to make a successful media product.
Photography planning
My photo shoot
I organized time to do my photoshoot, so that there
was plenty of time so I could play around with outfits
and poses - to ensure that my photos were suited to
my magazine – as I didn't’t want to rush and have
photos that wouldn't’t appeal to my target audience.
For my front cover, initially, I took my photos in a
bedroom by a plain wall- to make it easier to crop and
get rid of the background of my image. However, the
image appeared to look rather dark and therefore not
as professional, as the features on the face were
harder to see and not as focused on. I therefore
decided to move into another room with a lighter
setting, and did a mid-shot to focus on facial features
rather than her body. As this shows a greater focus on
my star appeal as a main feature of my music
magazine, and will attract the specific target audience.
My contents page shows a high angle, full body shot
of Ariana sitting on the floor. These photos were taken
on a room where the lighting wasn’t too bright, as this
wouldn't’t reflect the emotion shown. For the double
page spread I conducted the photo shoot in the bed
room as it conveys the same sort of pose and image as
the contents page which shows continuity.
Full body shot Mid-shot
Theory behind photography (mise en scene)
My star appeal showed Ariana Grande wearing
an iconic little black dress which makes her look
like a sexy feminine yet bold character in which
will be effective in attracting the male gaze
(Mulvey) and therefore the wider target
audience in meeting the gratifications and
needs of the different target audience. I have
also shown her in a similar pose so that it shows
her to be glamorous and girly is which many
women may aspire to be like.
I have also shown her in a more casual
outfit to represent her to also be very down
to earth and someone in which people can
relate to and aspire towards being like –
personal relationship (Katz).
Hand drawn Drafts – Main Task
These are my hand drawn drafts for my main task. They helped me as a
guidance when creating my music magazine in order to ensure that I was
using the correct codes and conventions in which are used to create a
successful media product that will appeal to my target audience. This also
helped me to structure my magazine so the layout looks neat and effective. I
made these decisions through a questionnaire to get the opinion of my
target audience.
Key features and focuses of a successful media
product – target audience feedback
From discussions I have had with those of my target audience of 16-26 females, I have
gathered key areas in which need to focus on in order to make a successful media
product are the colour scheme which must be consistent and repeated (Steve Neale)
throughout my media product in order to appeal to the target audience – such as a pink
or purple colour scheme used in order to appeal to the female audience. Also, much of
my target audience referred to the importance of a bold main headline in order to
appeal to the target audiences main needs and gratifications (Katz), this will be the main
feature in attracting the audiences attention. The star appeal (Dyer) is what is said to be
the feature that is first looked at on a magazine and therefore whether they would
purchase the magazine would be based around who the interview is on, as women who
see them as a role model may buy the magazine to create a personal relationship with;
or even for male gaze (Mulvey). I also found that the audience were attracted to the
puff as a main feature of a successful media product as it is focused around something
the target audience is interested in winning, and if they had a chance at winning
something worthwhile then they would purchase the magazine for that reason – uses
and gratifications (Katz).Convergence was considered very important in a successful
media product as with the growing technology within society today my target audience
expressed how convergence, such as social networking is widely used in order to learn
more about the magazine and therefore create more of a personal relationship.

  • 20. Music Magazine – Genre research The target audience is varied from the age of 16 to 25 as it incoporates a wide range of genres of mainly pop and R&B music. This is represented by the artist on the front of the magazine which attracts a range of audiences. There is a varied target audience and genre, depending on what is in the charts at that time – showing audiences influence as the prosumer in production process.
  • 21. This Billboard magazine is aimed at love and belonging on Maslow’s Hierarchy as the target audience is aimed at teens and young adults. This focuses on the idea on feeling belonged within society in terms of social groups. Katz theory focuses on the idea that, women will buy this magazine as they may be interested in Ariana Grande’s music and the gossip on her life, to get uses out of it . Where as, men may buy it as they are attracted to the picture of Ariana on the front of the magazine. The main image on this magazine is focused very much on the idea of emphasis on sexuality and physical appearance (Mulvey) in that women are represented as passive objects of male gaze as Ariana Grande on the front could attract men and can be seen as scopophilia. What is the USP of this magazine? From the research completed into this media product, I think the USP is they provide a range of different genres, through the use of different musicians for the main image on each front cover of every magazine. This therefore attracts a wide range and variation of target audience. Their star appeal (Dyer) and genre is determined by what is popular in the charts at a certain time – therefore showing the audience to be the prosumer and determining on what is produced. Theory of Music Magazine
  • 22. Publisher research Billboard is a internationally well know American music magazine owned by Prometheus Global Media and headquartered in New York. It was founded by William H. Donaldson James Hennegan in 1894 and is one of the oldest trade magazines in the world. They are published weekly and have a rough readership of 48,000.
  • 23. Final Choice of magazine I have chosen to use the Billboard magazine as inspiration to create my own music magazine as it has effectively used codes and conventions in ways that look appealing to the target audience with simplicity. As the target audience is of a similar range to my own I can then use this to help me design my own, through using the conventions and design used to make a successful media product.
  • 25. My photo shoot I organized time to do my photoshoot, so that there was plenty of time so I could play around with outfits and poses - to ensure that my photos were suited to my magazine – as I didn't’t want to rush and have photos that wouldn't’t appeal to my target audience. For my front cover, initially, I took my photos in a bedroom by a plain wall- to make it easier to crop and get rid of the background of my image. However, the image appeared to look rather dark and therefore not as professional, as the features on the face were harder to see and not as focused on. I therefore decided to move into another room with a lighter setting, and did a mid-shot to focus on facial features rather than her body. As this shows a greater focus on my star appeal as a main feature of my music magazine, and will attract the specific target audience. My contents page shows a high angle, full body shot of Ariana sitting on the floor. These photos were taken on a room where the lighting wasn’t too bright, as this wouldn't’t reflect the emotion shown. For the double page spread I conducted the photo shoot in the bed room as it conveys the same sort of pose and image as the contents page which shows continuity. Full body shot Mid-shot
  • 26. Theory behind photography (mise en scene) My star appeal showed Ariana Grande wearing an iconic little black dress which makes her look like a sexy feminine yet bold character in which will be effective in attracting the male gaze (Mulvey) and therefore the wider target audience in meeting the gratifications and needs of the different target audience. I have also shown her in a similar pose so that it shows her to be glamorous and girly is which many women may aspire to be like. I have also shown her in a more casual outfit to represent her to also be very down to earth and someone in which people can relate to and aspire towards being like – personal relationship (Katz).
  • 27. Hand drawn Drafts – Main Task These are my hand drawn drafts for my main task. They helped me as a guidance when creating my music magazine in order to ensure that I was using the correct codes and conventions in which are used to create a successful media product that will appeal to my target audience. This also helped me to structure my magazine so the layout looks neat and effective. I made these decisions through a questionnaire to get the opinion of my target audience.
  • 28. Key features and focuses of a successful media product – target audience feedback From discussions I have had with those of my target audience of 16-26 females, I have gathered key areas in which need to focus on in order to make a successful media product are the colour scheme which must be consistent and repeated (Steve Neale) throughout my media product in order to appeal to the target audience – such as a pink or purple colour scheme used in order to appeal to the female audience. Also, much of my target audience referred to the importance of a bold main headline in order to appeal to the target audiences main needs and gratifications (Katz), this will be the main feature in attracting the audiences attention. The star appeal (Dyer) is what is said to be the feature that is first looked at on a magazine and therefore whether they would purchase the magazine would be based around who the interview is on, as women who see them as a role model may buy the magazine to create a personal relationship with; or even for male gaze (Mulvey). I also found that the audience were attracted to the puff as a main feature of a successful media product as it is focused around something the target audience is interested in winning, and if they had a chance at winning something worthwhile then they would purchase the magazine for that reason – uses and gratifications (Katz).Convergence was considered very important in a successful media product as with the growing technology within society today my target audience expressed how convergence, such as social networking is widely used in order to learn more about the magazine and therefore create more of a personal relationship.
