What original images did you take for your magazine?I took a few images for the front cover to see which one would mostly suit my magazine cover and so the one on the front was the image I found most suitable.
Which real media magazine did you base your magazine on? Company
Why did you do this? Because my partner and I agreed that it was a magazine similar to the one we wanted to create and it was the most appropriate for the target audience we were going for.
Who was your target audience? Teens aged 14-19
Looking at your flat plan and ‘creating your own magazine’ document state briefly why you made these decisions when creating your own magazine. The decisions made for the creation of mine and my partner’s magazine was made because we wanted it to as similar to a real magazine as possible and so we had to think realistically in the production of our magazine and so we did a lot of research in order to produce a magazine suitable for the genre and target audience we were going for.
What did you change in these early stages of planning? When we did the draft of our magazine, we changed the idea of what was going to be on the front cover and we changed the contents page layout. We also changed the name of our magazine from ‘Fierce’ to ‘Attitude’ before we made our drawn first draft.
Looking at your contents page, say why you chose this particular information to include rather than any other. This doesn’t apply to me because my partner did the contents page.
Why did you choose these images and not others? I felt these were the images that were more like be considered as icon for the target audience I was going for.
Looking at your front page, say why you chose this particular information to include rather than any other. The information I chose are what will more likely to grab the attention of my target audience. It is the gossip of what interests my target audience about the celebrities that are the most know and admired or gossiped about at the moment, and I put some information about the person on the front all in capital letters so that they know that she is the person on the front.
Why did you choose these images and not others? The images were chosen because the model that is on the front cover is attractive and it enforces the idea of the name of our magazine.
Looking at your article page, say why you chose this particular information to include rather than any other. The information used for my magazine is what will interest the readers for my magazine because it is a topic of an actress to who is idolised by many teens and so I thought it would be interesting for my readers.
Why did you choose these images and not others? I chose the images of the actress in my article because they are the ones that are most appealing to the eye and so the young girls will read it because they will see her as an iconographic person, which encourage them to buy it.
List below any decisions that you made that were important to the overall effect of your magazine in terms of your target audience. The image in the front of the magazine was important because I had to decide on which one would be suitable for the target audience. The information used was important because we had to use language suitable for the audience we were targeting. The font of the title of the magazine was important because it has to grab the buyer’s attention and make them want to look at it. The colours were important because it had to make the different font of writings stand out so that it would look more interesting.
List below any decisions that you made that were important to the overall representation of the people and groups that were in your magazine and how this would appeal to or effect your target audience. The celebrities used were to attract the attention of the readers for my magazine because they are seen as an icon for young people. The images of the people from different ethnic minorities were used because in most magazines they don’t usually have people of any different ethnic background. The picture of the girl was used on the front cover because a lot of girls will like it and read it because it is pleasing to the eye. The image of the boy that is used in the contents page was used because a lot of girls will like it because they will think he is good-looking.
If you had more time what would you have done differently? I would have done another front cover so that I could compare the one I have with that one to see what would be the best one for my magazine. I would have tried to visit a magazine company to see how they create their articles and front cover step by step. I would have done more research on the genre I was going for and made my magazine look more professional.
