I based my magazine on Vogue, I
wanted the masthead to sit across the
top of the page just as it traditionally
does with a vogue magazine, but rather
than being as clean as vogue I wanted it
too be more edgy so I used a brush on
Photoshop to cut out sections. I also like
the lay out of this particular magazine
and based mine on it. Hence why Music
Junkie has a central image, with a main
article going across the bottom, with all
                the other articles evenly
                      either side of the
                     page. Judging from
                    my feedback I
                   achieved what I
                  wanted as most said it
                 looked really
                professional and the
              photography is really good.
           I I wanted my magazine to
            look like a fashion magazine
           and I feel that I achieved that.
I looked at many different contents pages
when deciding how to lay out my contents
page as I had no idea how to do it, After
researching into some fashion magazines I
noted that most of them had either the
word ‘contents’ or another masthead
across the top of the page so I decided to
do the same. Some changed the colour
scheme of the front cover but I decided to
keep it within the same colours scheme to
maintain a clear house style. Out of all my
pages I feel this is the weakest as it looks a
lot less professional than the
others. In my focus
group they mentioned
the larger numbers and
I agree that this works
well in aiding navigation
and is also a conventional
thing to find in other
magazines. Every magazine
I looked at had the contents
separated into sections hence
why I also did.
My double page spread was a mixture of ideas I got from research. I wanted it to be quite simple
with a single image that is the main focus. I found the font for the title I wanted when making a
mood board for my magazine I really liked the black of white idea as it sticks out. The Stand first
says everything needed to know about the artist and the pull quote has swearing in it to show
how edgy the artist is, my focus group commented that this is good and attention grabbing. I also
stuck with convention by adding a drop cap at the beginning of the article and adding a small
masthead in the top left corner to show it belongs to the magazine, this is commonly done.

I wanted to portray my artist as a rebel. Someone
who already had enough money and wasn’t singing
as a career, just doing it so she could. Remi is
someone who is frequently in the media for doing
something others would frown upon such as being
notorious and dabbling in drink and drugs. As the
granddaughter of Elvis Presley she would have big
shoes to fill but she’s a strong independent women
who does things for herself, not because of her
relations. This is just some of the images I got from
the photo-shoot, some I used some I didn’t, but I
tried to get them to all give of this personality I have
created for her, as seeing is believing. If the audience
believed that she was this rebellious crazy star they
would have to see it within the imagery. Personally, I
think I managed this quite well, she does look like an
outlaw with an ‘I don’t care attitude’. My target
audience also agreed as within my questionnaires
and focus group they basically described the exact
character I wanted to create. She would relate to a
lot of different people, men would find her sexy,
some women would aspire to be like her, some
would admire her, others would be repulsed by her
actions, either way, everyone would be interested in
her.
This section shows her as a strong
                                   independent women and hoe
                                   straight talking and straight to the
                                   point she is.
                                                                          This pull quote shows her attitude
                                                                          and how she acts in a way that can
                                                                          cause offence to others. It also helps
                                                                          to draw the reader in and make them

This is the stand first, it offers the best
chance to explain exactly what the artist is
like it mentions her “careless attitude” and
her “trademark pout” again portraying her
as a diva. There is also no doubt that she is
someone, the paragraph screams how
famous and followed she is “she is so
famous for” and “much awaited interview”




                                                                            This section shows how arrogant she is
                                                                            and why people would dislike her. She

                                                                            else she is. However, this is part of her
  The ending leaves the reader wanting                                      personality, she doesn’t care what people

My magazine would appeal to female around 18-30 years old, girls who like to live life to the
full and loved to party and push boundaries. As my magazine has a big fashion focus a
reader would also love fashion and like to stand out from the crowd. Their appearance
would be a big deal to them, this is why my artist is an attractive young women with an edgy
look as she stands out and she would make people feel inferior to her and aspire to be like
her. Their main values of life would be their friends and their appearance, they
would aspire to make something of their lives while having fun all the way and
to be seen by people as a figure of fashion. Their lifestyles would consist of being
busy all week and working hard and parting hard on the weekends, most would
have little responsibility and would probably still live with their parents with
the biggest thing to worry about is maybe a car. Music junkie would be the

Evaluation
Before starting this course I was really scared of Photoshop.
However, now I feel completely comfortable with it, to the
point where I was actually helping other people in the class do
things that I had no idea that would ever be able to do. All the
individual skills that I learnt can been seen in my skills
development journal. My model sufferers from spots really
bad so being able to use the spot healing tool not only amazed
me but also made the imagery look so much more
professional as you never see a model on the front of a
magazine with huge spots on their head.
Even when taking the pictures I learnt a lot about photography
and how to position cameras to gain certain effects. As they
were for my magazine as well as taking the pictures I was
directing the shoot as well and I really enjoyed this, I had to
take control of the situation and get what I wanted and I had
never done this in this situation before.
I didn’t need to use online tutorials as everything I learnt I
either worked out for myself or asked someone and they
explained to me. To gain feedback throughout the making of
‘Music Junkie’ I made a couple of survey monkeys which I
never knew even existed and posted them over Facebook in
hope to gain a response, I didn’t even know before then that
you could upload pictures into private messages.
Comparing the skills I had at the start
                             of the year to what I am capable of
                             now there is a clear difference,
                             whether this is because I have spent
                             more time over it and asked if I was
                             unsure about a skill I am not sure. I am
                             defiantly considering taking media on
                             to A2 as I have done a lot more than I
                             thought I was capable of doing and I
                             would love to see how I could progress
                             even further next year. I have also
                             learnt a lot about my self and how if I
                             work hard I can do something that I
thought was totally out of my reach. I have learnt to be more patient as hard work does pay
off. Also, I should never be afraid to ask for help as if I hadn’t I would never have been left
with a magazine that I am so proud of. Judging from all my audience feedback others feel the
same that my work is of the professional standard I wanted it to be and I achieved everything
I aimed for, even though I still feel that the contents page is anywhere near as good as my
front cover and double page spread.

Evaluation

  • 3. I based my magazine on Vogue, I wanted the masthead to sit across the top of the page just as it traditionally does with a vogue magazine, but rather than being as clean as vogue I wanted it too be more edgy so I used a brush on Photoshop to cut out sections. I also like the lay out of this particular magazine and based mine on it. Hence why Music Junkie has a central image, with a main article going across the bottom, with all the other articles evenly either side of the page. Judging from my feedback I achieved what I wanted as most said it looked really professional and the photography is really good. I I wanted my magazine to look like a fashion magazine and I feel that I achieved that.
  • 4. I looked at many different contents pages when deciding how to lay out my contents page as I had no idea how to do it, After researching into some fashion magazines I noted that most of them had either the word ‘contents’ or another masthead across the top of the page so I decided to do the same. Some changed the colour scheme of the front cover but I decided to keep it within the same colours scheme to maintain a clear house style. Out of all my pages I feel this is the weakest as it looks a lot less professional than the others. In my focus group they mentioned the larger numbers and I agree that this works well in aiding navigation and is also a conventional thing to find in other magazines. Every magazine I looked at had the contents separated into sections hence why I also did.
  • 5. My double page spread was a mixture of ideas I got from research. I wanted it to be quite simple with a single image that is the main focus. I found the font for the title I wanted when making a mood board for my magazine I really liked the black of white idea as it sticks out. The Stand first says everything needed to know about the artist and the pull quote has swearing in it to show how edgy the artist is, my focus group commented that this is good and attention grabbing. I also stuck with convention by adding a drop cap at the beginning of the article and adding a small masthead in the top left corner to show it belongs to the magazine, this is commonly done.
  • 7. I wanted to portray my artist as a rebel. Someone who already had enough money and wasn’t singing as a career, just doing it so she could. Remi is someone who is frequently in the media for doing something others would frown upon such as being notorious and dabbling in drink and drugs. As the granddaughter of Elvis Presley she would have big shoes to fill but she’s a strong independent women who does things for herself, not because of her relations. This is just some of the images I got from the photo-shoot, some I used some I didn’t, but I tried to get them to all give of this personality I have created for her, as seeing is believing. If the audience believed that she was this rebellious crazy star they would have to see it within the imagery. Personally, I think I managed this quite well, she does look like an outlaw with an ‘I don’t care attitude’. My target audience also agreed as within my questionnaires and focus group they basically described the exact character I wanted to create. She would relate to a lot of different people, men would find her sexy, some women would aspire to be like her, some would admire her, others would be repulsed by her actions, either way, everyone would be interested in her.
  • 8. This section shows her as a strong independent women and hoe straight talking and straight to the point she is. This pull quote shows her attitude and how she acts in a way that can cause offence to others. It also helps to draw the reader in and make them see the interview is worth reading. This is the stand first, it offers the best chance to explain exactly what the artist is like it mentions her “careless attitude” and her “trademark pout” again portraying her as a diva. There is also no doubt that she is someone, the paragraph screams how famous and followed she is “she is so famous for” and “much awaited interview” This section shows how arrogant she is and why people would dislike her. She basically says how better than everyone else she is. However, this is part of her The ending leaves the reader wanting personality, she doesn’t care what people more as it thinks of the future and think of her and who she offends she is what will entail for just an simply just doing whatever she wants. unpredictable star. Her response again shows how she is portrayed as a rule breaker.
  • 10. ICP media make magazines such as Bauer Media would be perfect for ‘Marie Claire’ and ‘TV’ times. Out of my magazine as they also produce the magazines they do make ‘Marie things like ‘FHM’ showing that have Claire’ is probably the most similar more of an edgier side so them. Also, to mine but the overall look of their they sell a few fashion/gossip magazines is very different to mine. magazines and some very popular Theirs tend to use soft colours and music magazines, meaning my are quite clean magazines whereas I integration of both would fit in wanted mine to give a whole perfectly. In addition to this they breaking the rules feel but still tend to use more vibrant colours maintaining the typical magazine than ICP media and my magazine conventions. Also, the magazines stands out due to it colour scheme tend to appeal to an older and its edgyness. generation to mine.
  • 12. My magazine would appeal to female around 18-30 years old, girls who like to live life to the full and loved to party and push boundaries. As my magazine has a big fashion focus a reader would also love fashion and like to stand out from the crowd. Their appearance would be a big deal to them, this is why my artist is an attractive young women with an edgy look as she stands out and she would make people feel inferior to her and aspire to be like her. Their main values of life would be their friends and their appearance, they would aspire to make something of their lives while having fun all the way and to be seen by people as a figure of fashion. Their lifestyles would consist of being busy all week and working hard and parting hard on the weekends, most would have little responsibility and would probably still live with their parents with the biggest thing to worry about is maybe a car. Music junkie would be the Magazine for the most cutting edge of females.

  • 15. Before starting this course I was really scared of Photoshop. However, now I feel completely comfortable with it, to the point where I was actually helping other people in the class do things that I had no idea that would ever be able to do. All the individual skills that I learnt can been seen in my skills development journal. My model sufferers from spots really bad so being able to use the spot healing tool not only amazed me but also made the imagery look so much more professional as you never see a model on the front of a magazine with huge spots on their head. Even when taking the pictures I learnt a lot about photography and how to position cameras to gain certain effects. As they were for my magazine as well as taking the pictures I was directing the shoot as well and I really enjoyed this, I had to take control of the situation and get what I wanted and I had never done this in this situation before. I didn’t need to use online tutorials as everything I learnt I either worked out for myself or asked someone and they explained to me. To gain feedback throughout the making of ‘Music Junkie’ I made a couple of survey monkeys which I never knew even existed and posted them over Facebook in hope to gain a response, I didn’t even know before then that you could upload pictures into private messages.
  • 16. Comparing the skills I had at the start of the year to what I am capable of now there is a clear difference, whether this is because I have spent more time over it and asked if I was unsure about a skill I am not sure. I am defiantly considering taking media on to A2 as I have done a lot more than I thought I was capable of doing and I would love to see how I could progress even further next year. I have also learnt a lot about my self and how if I work hard I can do something that I thought was totally out of my reach. I have learnt to be more patient as hard work does pay off. Also, I should never be afraid to ask for help as if I hadn’t I would never have been left with a magazine that I am so proud of. Judging from all my audience feedback others feel the same that my work is of the professional standard I wanted it to be and I achieved everything I aimed for, even though I still feel that the contents page is anywhere near as good as my front cover and double page spread.
