Evaluation
Evaluation: question 1) in what way does your music magazine,
develop or challenge forms and conventions from other music magazines?
My music magazine conventions are challenging from other
magazines. This is because I believe that I have done a suitable job of
expression myself towards my music genre. The conventions of other magazine
definable suits my magazine. my music
magazine uses all the generic conventions which is suppose to be detailed on.
My music magazine develops because it has links within other magazines, that
you particularly look up too. Without looking and getting feedback from a
different magazine I would have known how to develop on my magazine. having
information gives you the idea to think and allows you to prepare yourself for
your own magazine. this is because making a magazine straight away wouldn’t
look professionally good, meaning that every person would of needed practice. I
have applied bar codes/datelines such as other magazines which they present,
this is because having a bar code representing your magazine will make target
audiences wanting to buy it more. However I have also got idea of different
magazine style within my genre blues, this is because blues doesn't use the
colours pink or yellow meaning that I have to produce good details within the
blues such as using the colour blue,black,red these are the colours which
brings out the magazine of blues and allow the target audiences to see the information
which is provided and the codes of development produced. With my magazine I have
also researched about the ipc company and nme parent company this is because
these companies will help me out with publishing my magazine, this is because
they allow you to have a certain budget to use and express yourself within to
the company to see if they will help you out and become successful. This is why
parent companies are important for many things this is because they are big and
everyone knows about them they do have a mass audience.
Question 2: how
do your music magazine represent particular social groups?
Music magazine
social groups are really important this is because they allow you to realise
and interact within your social group of target audiences. My music magazine
represents different social groups, this is because my target audiences are
mostly based on male men meaning that people aged 35-55 showing that they are
mature adults and could listen to music when they can. This links in with
social groups within social class such as employed people and could be high
class or even middle class, meaning that they are working and people still have
a job. My music magazine links in within this so much, this is because it shows
the importance of social groups and how it will effect my music magazine. I
think all social group represents their group this is because they believe in
certain area of stuff such as supporting the representation of magazine. they
also link within this is because employed people going work usually travels and
always reads newspapers which makes them interested into daily based life, such
as picking up a newspaper always on their way to work, meaning that they could
always pick up a cheap magazine and read it on their way to work. This is also
more of an advantage because with music magazine you would gain information of
whats going on and there is many stuff which you could learn about such as
interfering with many activities and how it could be helpful for you. Music
magazines usually provides target audiences with information so they could also
feel happy even if they promote vouchers in a magazine, this is because most
target audiences will love to have goodies that will make them pleased about
it.
Question 3) what
kind of music magazine institution might distribute your music magazine and
why?
For my magazine I
think a good institution has to distribute within my magazine because I have all
the conventions which needed to be described on. For my magazine the most
suitable institution I prefer is ipc media, this ks because it has a large
portfolio all around and is big all around the uk. The reason being why ipc
could distribute me is because it is big all around and it is also linked
within with the NME, meaning that it could be successfully throughout. Showing
that you are successful to the music institution you could distribute and this
will make them extend and help you publish your magazine by giving you a
certain budget and a certain time to show your skills of what you are doing.
Ipc media is the leading consumer and digital publisher which has a massive
portfolio to help people. The ipc media has wide target audience and if you are
good enough they will provide you with enough equipments to do what you are
suppose to them by publishing your own magazine and seeing how it is going to
develop well. With the ipc media you have to show them that your good enough
and that your target audiences will buy your magazine of you and then they
will allow you with enough resources that will guide you throughout the
distribution of institutions. Institutions helps music magazines a lot there is a
wide variety to help and allow them to publish their work within many ranges.
Institutions are all around the uk to help with. It is important that you
identify the correct institution, this is because your own music institution
will help you out within your working area not another company which does for
example pop, meaning that we have to identify the institution correctly and
wisely. Ipc media will also help my reputation and will give me a massive heads
up within my publishing, this is because it will let your target audiences know
whats going on and whats good when publishing. It is important that your
institution helps you gain more target audiences, this is because when an
institution publishes your work it will slowly slowly reach around the world
and mostly shops which displays magazines all around so that people which is
your target audiences will feel interested in your own music magazine. the
benefits that this will have me choosing music institutions are that it will
provide me with many resources to show what I could do to make the institution
happy.
Question 4) who
would be the audience for your music magazine?
For my magazine I
am publishing the genre of blues, meaning that my magazine is aged between 25-55
this is because they are employed and have the capability to buy the music
magazine which I am producing. The reason being why my audience is aged 35-55
is because the magazine blues isn't for the teenagers it is mostly for the
mature adults which are introduced to the blues from before. My are audiences
are mostly male men this is because they are more interested into the magazine
of blues then teenagers males because they are mostly interested in the magazine
for example RNB and different style of music. The reason being why my audience
is male men is because they have more interest to blues and the old history from
before they know about more. The reason being why I haven't said that my
audience is tennegars is because young adults wouldn’t be interested in this
sort of music. My audiences for this magazine is male men which is mature and
employed, this is because male mens that are mature are more likely to follow
up blues music and feel relaxed while they are listening to blues. picking the
correct institution company shows that
that everything is on target. My target audience is suitable for magazine that
I have produced and my target audience will find the music magazine interesting.
Question 5) how
did you attract/ address your target audience?
From my magazine
I have used effective colours and effective slogans of writing to attract my
audience. The reason being for me to attract my audience was because, I have
used effective description which was applied towards my work, meaning that
everything is perfectly in control with target audiences. The way that I
attracted my audience was because I knew the things that they like and
attracted them with the information, which I have put on my magazine. secondary
audience is important in this brief this is because it allows you too see how
many people agrees with you and how many people dislikes the fact. With my
secondary research of questionnaire, there was many questions to pick up from,
this is because I have made my target audience fill in a questionnaire which
attracts them with interfering with the music magazine. This addresses to my
target audience, this is because they all support the reason of being a target
audience. It also attracts my audience from the contents page and the double
page spread. This is because it presents more information and allows them to
follow up whats new in my music magazine. The reason being why it attracts them
is because my magazine has different affects which is dependent on the music
magazine. the use of affects has a massive impact to attract the target
audiences because most people first looks at the colour of the magazine and
then picks it up to read. The reason being for this is if the colour was dull
no target audience would of went and looked through the magazine. the use of
colours and affect attracts the audience to buy one and read through it. For
example images makes magazines more interesting and important for most target
audiences. This is because it gives colour to the whole piece of magazine
meaning that this will make target audience buy the music magazine and this
also allows the parent company to publish the magazine knowing this success it
brang through. The ethnicity also attracts most target audiences this is
because it is mostly aimed toward male mens which is black and some female
which are also interested within the music genre of blues.
I have carried
out an questionnaire as said, meaning that it is really important to see what
is progressing throughout. This also shows how many people got involved within
the questionnaire and how many people agreed and disagreed with certain
questions. Looking at the questions most target audiences prefer to listen to
the music of blues because they are interested in peaceful music.
Question 6) what
have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing your music
magazine?
In this course
doing music magazines made us familiar with certain software programs such as
photoshop and also getting introduce to cameras and tripods to take our
pictures. Using photoshop for my magazine wasn’t quite easy because it wasn’t a
software that I knew about. Using photoshop allowed me to access to many
resources such as different uses of effects and changes to produce the final
outcome from my work. With digital cameras I have learnt that it has more effective
sequences, for example having a better view by focusing the camera to the photo
frame of the person. The reason being using a camera was to understand the aim
of a professional picture. By taking images for our magazine using a tripod
will keep the camera steady and stable. This means that everything is
professionally taken, the reason being for this is because there is high
quality of the camera canon. The difficulties which I have came acrossed with
was focusing the camera at start this is because I was introducing myself to
the camera to learn different skills which was sequenced in the format of the
camera. Knowing how to used the equitments didn’t cause me any other problems
afterwards.
Using
photoshop was really beneficial because you learn different techniques within
how to use different mechanical gadgets. Photoshop was a good experience to find
out where most things operate from and what skills you could require and manage
on your musical magazine. At first I found photoshop difficult to cope with
because it was a software that I wasn’t introduced too, however watching clips
and focusing on classed lesson I have worked out how to use it in a
appropriate and manageable way. Using photoshop for my music magazine was tricky
because if you did make a mistake you would of needed to start again, but after
many tries into the software, I found it very capable enough to interact with.
I have cropped the picture so that I could focus on the image which I had to
change and make it look professional enough towards my target audience.
Photoshop had many gadgets to use from, which need practice to become perfect.
Using all the gadgets made my final music magazine extremely good.
The
importance of using this new technology made me develop on my skills and now
that I have experienced a new technology software, means as a media student I
would use photoshop more and gain more experience while I explore new
technology.
Question
7) Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in
the progression from it to the full music magazine product?
In
the hand drawn design I managed to draw my magazines final magazine drafts. The
main aim for me drawing this out is that it is giving a brief idea on how my
magazine is laid out and how it is presented towards my target audience.
I
am confident with different softwares which I wasn’t familiar with at start,
the reason being why I have gained experiences of learning this softwares was
practice. With my drafts of my magazine, there is a huge differences between my
new finalised music magazine. The reason being for this is gaining more
experiences moves you towards success by practicing the tools which is on
there. With these tools I have changed my magazine and it made my final music
magazine stand out.
The
drafts which I have done and progressed through was a good idea for me to
change my music magazine around, the codes and conventions are beneficial because
I have used many effects to suit my genre and to give a fantastic outcome
towards my target audience.

my music magazine is now successful, This is because i have completed my finalised work piece of photographic commentary. Compare to my Drafts my final magazine looks professional and important to be presented in a conventional manner. However with my double page spread i have used appropriate format and use of colours to suit within my genre, this is successful because it suits my target audience and stands out to readers. therefore with my content page, the use of image and the effect made my work look completely finalised to a outstanding manner. i think that my final magazine is presented in a fantastic manner and i know that it will be effective towards my target audience.
