Final Double Page Spread Edit

"How did you attract/address your audience?"

I applied a number of techniques to attract and address my audience, I had to design a page look at the pages and think of things that would attract my audience so then I started to use original magazines to inspire me on what I was looking for, and I had to look at it as if I was the audience to effectively make it better! As my audience is for 15-25 year olds I had to take into account of what colours complimented other colours to make them stand out but look professional at the same time. It’s also aimed mainly at females so to attract girls I had to add more fancy writing, gossip etc to attract them to buying this magazine. Another way to attract my audience is the names of big stars mentioned in the contents and front cover such as Rihanna, Chris Brown, Kim Kardashian etc.

Re: Audience Feedback

As I have re done my pictures and magazine I had to re do my audience feedback and I have uploaded the images up on to Facebook to get some feedback off my target audience, I will take on board any changes the audience think I should make. By doing this it is helping me to continue on improving my work. I got my feedback it was mostly positive, people have said I need changes here and there so I'm going to make those changes for a better front cover, contents and double page spread.

Front Cover

Below is the front cover design I have chosen to be as my cover for my task. I have chosen this cover because it has more on the page than the others, it looks more professional than the others, and has a lot more information. The picture is of Megan looking directly at the audience with a small smile on her face as we didn't want her being to smiley as the genre of my magazine are mainly for R&B genre such as Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Rita Ora not the pop genre such as Taylor Swift, Demi Lovarto and One Direction. I have chosen a blue background as it makes Megan and the title stand out more, plus the green and white writing stand out on the blue background. The masthead is bold and a bit of the A is hidden behind Megan's head suggesting that it is a well known magazine.

Re: Front Cover Draft 3

I have taken a screen shot of my third front cover, with a template of Billboard Brazil.

Re: Contents page

I have took a screen shot of my contents page. It is the same as my old contents page just instead of an image of Rachel there is an image of Megan.

Re: Double Page Spread

Below is a screen shot of my double page spread I have created for one of my tasks.

Re: Front Cover Draft 2

Re: Front Cover Draft

I have created a front cover for one of my tasks I've used one of Billboards front covers as a template to help me set mine out and look professional.

Re: Best Images

These are the images that Ii like the best out of the lot due to the position Megan is in. It is also appropriate for my target audience and most of these images have direct mode of address making a connection with the reader.

Re: Image Idea's

Below are the poses I had Megan do and the images where I got the idea from to create a similar pose to the original image.

I loved this photograph of Sam Faiers, so Megan created a similar pose but with her head in a different
position. I think that this image will make a beautiful picture for my double
page spread that I am going to re create.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The image of Rita Ora made me think that it would be a glamorous image for the main image
on the front cover for my magazine as it is a medium close up, captures the
expression on Megan's face and that she is making direct contact with
the reader.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Another re created image of one of Sam Faiers Photo's. This would also be an amazing
image for my front cover as it has got Megan's body language in it making it a
bit more easier for the audience to pick up on what age group the magazine has been aimed at.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another one of Rita Ora's Images, the pose that Megan is re creating is a innocent
pose with a bit of a diva going on, this would be perfect again for the front cover but also for the contents page.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We've produced an similar pose and posture as the original image of Tulisa also known
for the x- band N-Dubz, as it is a more elder and elegant pose especially for the age group I have aimed this magazine
towards.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I chose this image of Rita as it was a more fun image to re make and could be an image for
me to use in my double page spread.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The pose and posture of the Nicki Minaj image is ideal for the genre of my magazine, we produced
a similar image just with a few changes here and there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This image was added as it was another fun image and more ideal image for my magazine also would
be ideal to go in my double page spread.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rihanna's original image looked more elder and elegent again so I thought it wouls be a good
idea to re make this image as I am targeting the middle teen+ age range.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Selena's image was just plain and simple, it is also an easy image to place in my magazine.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Demi Lovarto is looking gorgeous in this photo so I re made it by having Megan doing this pose in a similar way
but making a few changes.

Re: Images

I have re taken images for my magazine as I was comparing them with other students work I released that the images weren't as good as I had thought and that they didn't match my audience age target or the genre of my magazine. So in order for me to correct my images I had Megan to come over and re take them with me as Rachel didn't have free time on her hands.
