Question seven -




My research and planning skills have significantly improved since my preliminary print task where I had to create a college magazine. As all I did then was briefly look at other college magazines and then go straight into making my flat plans without any detailed research into factors such as the market and the target audience, this effected my finally product in terms of quality and relevancy. In my final print task I ensured I researched greatly into professional music magazines, this was my textual analysis, this process took a lot of time and effort but was found to be really useful as it enabled me to make my product a high standard and convey the conventions of a real media product, it also came in useful when making my magazine as I could refer back to it to see what my target audience want. I then went on to do audience research where I focused greatly on my target audience, I found out what appealed to them in existing magazines which then helped me develop y flat plans in to more relevant ideas. In this section of work I also did a focus group where I asked members of my target audience questions on what they liked and disliked about an existing magazine cover, contents page and double page spread, this was to focus my work and find out what to include in my product. I then did photography research which also involved test shots, due to my prior research I found this easy as I already knew what my target audience were looking for in a magazine. Flat plans came after this process, this is where all my research and ideas came together, this was a total different process to when making my preliminary task flat plans as my research had really focused my ideas and it was less of a struggle to make a high quality product.
In terms of construction, my final product looks a lot more in line with the likes of professional music magazine, this was due to extensive research and planning. When it came to the photography for my preliminary task I kept the shots very basic and stuck to using one model in one setting, I also only took few photos which limited my selection when it came to making my product and therefore my magazine was not of a high standard. This was something I changed drastically when taking photographs for my final product. I took images in both the studio and on location, using different models of different gender and ages, who’s clothes/makeup and poses where of a more professional look ensured I had photographs of a high standard which reflected photos from existing music magazines. In my prelim task I had minimal amount of sell lines which drastically reduced the quality of my product, also the proportions and placement of all my text was something which instantly conveyed a low quality magazine, I should have took more care when it came to this. Whereas, on my final front cover I ensured the sell lines positioning and proportions where all perfect and they had left alignment which is something I noted during research that existing magazines do. I took everything into consideration from my research and prelim task which gave me the opportunity to create a high standard cover for my media product. My contents page in the prelim task had a lot of empty space and had few images and text, this made it look bare and unprofessional, I ensured this was something I changed when making my final product. My final contents page shows how much I have improved in terms of skill, I used better quality images from a variety of models and wrote a contents page which was in keeping with the genre of my music magazine. I made sure there was no empty spaces by adding a subscription box, this was a feature I found in a lot of professional magazines. A double page spread wasn’t something I created in my preliminary task so I wasn’t able to use it as a tool to help me better my final double page spread, thus I just kept the techniques in mind I had already learn't from the prior pages and all the research to create a high quality double page spread. Over all I am very happy with my final product and I have learn't so many new techniques and skill throughout the process.

Question five -






















To ensure my music magazine appeals to my target audience of 'indie kids' I have followed already existent music magazines of the same music genre conventions. I did extensive research and planning which enabled me to select colours for my magazine which collocate the style of indie kids; I selected red black and white as my house colour theme as the black and white are to reflect the norm population and the red is to reflect the indie kid population who stand out from the norm and go against all the conventions. I then went on to the use of photographs to attract the target audience, I used costumes which resemble the clothing indie pop artists wear which will instantly exemplify the genre of the magazine to the public resulting in interest from the target audience. I researched indie pop magazines to find out what poses the models used, I found out they were often stern faced or not looking at the camera and so I conveyed these looks in my photo shoots. Although I stuck to most of the conventions I decided to go against the idea of a male being the main powerful figure and used a female model on my cover page, my idea behind this was to use her as a tool to attract both sexes, in hope the females would idolize her and the males would see her as a sexual symbol.
My initial magazine was not up to the standards of a professional magazine, the photos were out of focus and took in back grounds which has no relevance to the genre of the magazine- therefore I changed these photos by retaking new ones and using photo shop to edit certain aspects of the back ground. Also, the text on my rough cut was very spaced out and in a large font, thus it was both out of proportion and the placement was poor quality- therefore when creating my final magazine I drastically changed the text (especially on the front cover) so it was both more in keeping and more professional.

I printed my complete magazine off and created a questionnaire and handed them both out to a10 members of my target audience, the questions in my questionnaire were:
1 - what draws your attention to your product?
2 - what genre is the magazine and what tells you this?
3 - what do you consider as the strengths of the product?
4 - what do you consider as the weakness of the product?
5 - what social groups does it represent?
6 - would you purchase this product and why?
7 - how would you improve this product?

I found a similar set of answers through out the ten questionnaire forms, below I have stated the general answers I recieved as feedback to my media product:
1- The red text.
    The models green dress.
    The large, bright and interesting font on the title.
2- Indie, because the way the girl is dressed on the front.
    A twist on indie, indie pop,  because the mash up between the girls outfit and the text on the title.
3- The professional over look of the full product.
    The photograph on the double page spread.
     The layout of the contents page, its easy to navigate round.
4- There could be a skyline.
5- Teens.
     Teenage females and males.
     Anyone interested in indie popy music.
6- Yes, it is eye catching and looks professional.
     Yes because it looks interesting and full of content.
     Yes, it is my type of music genre.
     Yes, it looks modern and looks like it is full of exclusives.
7- Write the word indie-pop on the magazine cover so people who don't know the music can get into it.
    Add more colour.

Question four -

I discovered my target audience due to my secondary audience research, I got ideas of what my target audience are interested in and what they like from my primary secondary audience. Following this research I developed my target audience of a predominantly male (60:40) aged range 16 to 25 who very into the individualistic style in terms of both fashion and music; from this I was able to create this mood bored exemplifying my target audience with regards to fashion, appearance, music and outlook.

Question three -


The production process of a magazine product starts with someone having an initial idea for a magazine, which they then turn into a brain storm after researching similar products and the market. If the idea then has enough potential it is then presented to a company who would be interested in making the magazine, if the idea/presentation is accepted that company will produce and print the magazine, when it is then available for retail it will be shipped/delivered to relevant shops etc for the public to purchase.
Despite prior comments, I think Bauer Media would be interested in my magazine as after looking at their reader profile I have noted they do not sell any magazines of the genre of mine, indie pop. Thus my magazine will be a ‘tool’ for them to enter that new and niche market. In the Bauer Media reader profile it states there audience are affluent, therefore their magazines will be of a high quality and reflect the higher end of the price range in terms of magazines, this is something my magazine exemplifies. After looking at Bauer Media’s Kerrang’s reader profile I believe my magazine has the same principles behind it as my magazine is more a similar age range who ‘are sharp, intelligent and rejoice in their individuality’, therefore if this is the market Bauer Media target then my product will be of their interest to them as they will already know how to advertise to and target this audience meaning they won’t have to think of new techniques and selling strategies which will save them time and money,  something a big company like them will consider highly. Bauer Media also have a very good reputation and sell a numerous amount of well selling music magazines such as Q, Mojo and Kerrang, this is something I have took into great consideration when choosing a magazine publisher as obviously I want a company which has had good sells as it means my magazine has a better chance to do well in terms of retail as the company will know what techniques for advertising etc work best.
Products such as Kerrang are advertised through its corresponding television channels, radio, tour posters/sites, social networking sites and internet; this is very effective as these agents of advertising are most popular for the target audience in terms of hobbies and age. Also these are worldwide advertising agents, thus it is reaching a greater volume as let’s say a billboard would and therefore they are enabling there product to be seen by more people resulting in more people buying it. As my product has a similar target audience to Kerrang I would also use similar advertisement agents. Facebook and Twitter usually offer free advertising so this would be convenient in terms of saving money and it would enable me to directly contact my audience as these are the two most popular networking sites, I could create a like page where I could regularly update about the magazine. I would also apply for my magazine to be advertised commercially on television, I would select music channels which play indie pop, the same music genre as my magazine, as the viewers of this channel are going to be more likely to purchase my magazine than someone who prefers a different type of music- I would do similarly with my advertising agent of radio and music tour posters/sites.
When distributing my product I would aim to put it in shops such as; HMV (alongside music of the genre as my magazine), Tesco, Asda, WHSmiths and newsagents as this would make my product easy to access for the public. I would also offer a subscription where you can get it delivered as I am aware a lot of people do this for other magazines such as Kerrang, this would enable loyal and regular customers to get it delivered via post to ensure they get their own copy of the magazine weekly, although this would be more costly to the consumer as posting and packaging cost’s would occur but I could low the costs as an incentive.  Also, there is a emerge of Web 2.0 which will make it a lot easier for my product to be distributed and advertised online as there is advertising agencies that could be ‘add ons’ and website/pages of indie pop clothing and music which would enable me to reach a larger audience with in the genre. I also think it would be a good idea to use the internet as a way for people to subscribe online and read the magazine, after asking round my peer group  (of the same age and interests of the target audience of my product) if this would be of interest to them I found it would as they evidently spend a lot of time online and this would save them going to the shop etc.

Wednesday 7 March 2012

Rough cut feedback:

After looking at your blog contents there are particular aspects which are letting it down:
- you need to ensure your textual analysis prezi are able to be accessed
- add annotations to your photograph on the blog
- ensure all explanations are deatiled

After looking at your media product there are particular aspects which are letting it down:
- your photographs all need to be in focus
- make sure your text proportions and positioning is accurate

Double page spread construction:

Similarly to my contents page,  I used InDesign when creating my double page spread.


I decided to use the same red which is on both my cover and contents page, this was to exemplify a house style which is conveyed through professional magazines; thus when creating my boxes for my page numbers I used the house style colour red, not only does this make my magazine look more off as a whole than loads of different articles/pages but the fact I have used the same red page numbers on the contents page should make it easier for the reader to navigate.


I then took a sentence from the interview I'd written and used it as a quote insert, this helps the reader gain understanding of the actual context of the interview- this is a technique exemplified in real professional magazines. I then wrote 'edited by Beth Marley' as a small caption under the quote insert, this is mainly to make the magazine look more professional. Similarly to the rest of the magazine I used the same font of arial narrow but used different boldness levels, colours and sizes to bring the readers attention to certain pieces of text and to make it more aesthetically pleasing- something which is importnt as if people are spending their money on a product they want it to be/look of a high quality.


I decided for the title of the article I wanted something simple which would get the readers attention, thus I choose 'exclusive' as if someone thinks they are getting inside information then they are more likely to be encouraged to purchase the magazine. I underlined the title, put it in bold and in the house colour red, and centered it so it would be one of the main focus points of the double page spread.


I thought it would be a good idea to use the font from the masthead, 'old press', and use the same house colour red every time I wrote the magazines brand name, yellow. This was just for the simple fact of further advertisement and to almost drill the brand name into the memory of the reader, so to speak.


I underlined, emboldened and coloured particular words and phrases which I thought were interesting and which we encourage the target audience to buy/read the magazine/article. I kept the same font through out the double page spread, I just experimented with colours, italics, underlining, sizes of font and boldness level to get the effect I wanted and to make it esthetically pleasing.


By making text boxes of a certain thickness which is evidently visible it ensures the person reading reads the correct bits of the article in order, thus making sure it flows correctly and making it easier for the reader. Also, it just gives the double page spread a more official look. I chose 'solid' black lines with a thickness level of 3, I thought this was ideal as it didn't take the focus of anything else on the page.


Prior, I had wrote my article on Microsoft Word so I just copied and pasted it into the text-boxes I hd made, ensuring all of the article was visible. I put the article in the same font, arial narrow, as everything else and put it at size 14pt, this was big enough to be easy to read but not too big that it didn't match the professional magazine's I had analyzed.


I then changed all the text that said the brand name, 'yellow', into the font and colour of the masthead but kept it at size 14pt; for similar reasons to previously mentioned.


Similarly to the previous text in the magazine, I underlined, changed  size, put in italics or changed colour of particular important pieces of text in the article. I changed all the questions of the interviewer into bold, this was so it was easily distinguished fro the interviewees answers/responses. This technique is used in many magazines, it just makes it easier for the reader.

Contents page construction:

I used Indesign to create my magazines contents page as I was aware this would give me the best results.


I firstly added the details, ie date, in a small size but in the house font of arial narrow, I also underlined it and put it in italics to make it stand a little more out without it taking centre stage.


I then selected arial narrow and regular and a font size of about 60pt for my title of the contents page, I used the centring tool and positioned it at the top of the page. I didn't just want to write contents as I thought it was a bit out dated.


I then altered the word 'yellow' by swapping it by pasting my masthead and putting it in a smaller size, the idea of pushing the brand name is one which appeals to me as I think it will make it stick in the target audiences heads and thus they will buy it more.


I then made all 8 text-boxes visible by selecting the solid 3pt option, this is so the contents page has more structure and looks more professional, also hopefully it will help the reader separate the information/articles and thus navigate around the magazine easier.



I then added smaller text boxes 6 of the 8 text-boxes, this was the boxes for the page number as my idea is to put 6 different images in these 6 boxes which link to the article on the page, this is a alternative and more fun way of saying whats on each page.


In one of the other boxes I wrote the heading 'and' and put it in red block capitals and a fairly large font size, this box is where I'm putting all my other page names and numbers.


I added the page name and numbers, I decided to not do every page but just the main ones at it makes it less to rad, which is some thing which will appeal to my target audience as they're of a younger age. I put the numbers in bold so it was evident what was what.



In the other box I wrote 'Subscribe today!' in arial narrow and centred it.


I thought the heading wasn't eye catching enough so I put it in bold and underlined it. I then wrote the details about subscription, also in arial narrow.



I then changed the word 'yellow' into the one of the masthead to fit the idea I had going. I done this by copying and pasting the masthead from the contents page and putting it on to here then editing it into a smaller size font to fit the other text around it.

Front cover construction:

I decided to use Photoshop for creating my magazine front cover as I knew it would give me the best opportunities and give me the best outcome.


After creating my new page I put guide lines along all four edges, 1cm from the edge, this was to keep all my text in line and give a professional look to my magazine as after analyzing many magazines I noted the text is never at the very edge of the front cover.


I picked the house font of Arial Narrow, and then added the details of issue number date and price, I decided to use a small font on these pieces of text as I believe they are less significant than the rest of the context, also I wanted to make the price a less evident factor of the front cover as sometimes price can be off putting.


I then searched for a font for my masthead, I came across the font 'old press' on www.dafont.com and downloaded that as I thought it fit the 'rough and ready' look I was hoping for. I then selected size, colour and positioning of the mast head- this was very important as I needed to ensure my masthead would both stand out from others on a magazine shelf and appeal to my target audience.


I decided I wanted all my sell lines on the left hand side of my magazine after experimentation and product analysis; it is a fact that British read left to right and so by positioning the sell lines on the left it draws the eye in the correct way and not only does it make the magazine flow better but it also gives it ore of the professional look which I am aspiring to.


I thought it was athletically pleasing to use a shape/spacer to break up the sell lines, by doing so it makes it more evident to the reader there is multiple articles and thus they will feel like they are getting more for their money and this is something which will be important to them. I chose a simple slim rectangle shape for my spacer as I didn't want something to complex to take the 'lime light' off the main context of the front over. I used the colour selecting tool to select the colour of the masthead to use on the boxes, bu having a consistent house style the magazine will be instantly made look more professional.


I wanted to use the same font, arial narrow, through-out my magazine but my keeping it all the same size and boldness level it looked a bit plain and boring so I decided to experiment with this factor; I decided to use bold, italic, bold italic, regular, underline, different font sizes etc to give the cover a certain extent of depth and realism.

Photoshoot images:

I went into the studio and took some photographs of a model I am using for my front cover:


I like the pose of the model in this photograph, the issue is the lighting. I needed to adjust the lighting to prevent the shadow exemplified behind the model in the photograph.
I wont be using this image in my magazine.


I turned the brightness up to high and thus there is a unnatural light on the models face which makes the image look a low quality.
I wont be using this image in my magazine.


I like the lighting on this image, it highlights the models face which gives a professional look to the photograph.


Although I like the lighting in the image I think the models hair is covering her face too much and thus I don't think this would look very professional to use on my magazine.

Final article:


Yellow magazine caught up with the lead singer of the up and coming indie pop band Vacants Joseph Mellors, the once bedroom music junkie who recording and producing music from his hand me down equipment from the comfort of his own bedsit, to give you the behind the scenes dishiest dirt. The 19 year old London boy reveals all from his rock star lifestyle, from the late night booze ups to how he made his dreams reality.

So Joseph, have you always been an indie kid?
Call me Joe; erm yeah, I have always been into the individual fashion, y’no the outgoing shirts which when you look back in ten years time you will regret *laughs*, and the ideas behind the indie music, saying that it wasn’t until may 2OO8 when I discovered my love for making indie pop until then I was just a loyal listner.

I see I see, who where your major influences then?
The Narrative was and still is a band I am really into! I’ve seen them live six times now; I’m a huge fan- like a kid at Christmas when I have the chance to see them. The Narratives track `cold case’ is the song that inspired me to have a fiddle with my step dads old equipment, so I guess they are kind of the reason I am the artist I am today.

Step dads old equipment did you say?
Yeah yeah, erm, he recorded and produced music back in his day, he was into all that pop rock. He is now Vacant's manager, we probably wouldn't be where we are today without him. What a guy ey! Plus he keeps me and the guys on the straight and narrow, I mean at 19 year old I just cant turn down a good old party *laughs*.

Party animal are you Joe? Give Yellow the dirt on your latest wild night..
*Laughs* Which 19 year old Hackney kid isn't, there is nothing I love more than going out with the lads and getting smashed and up to no good- it's what us fella's do best after all. My last night out? Erm? Is it bad that I can't remember too much after playing drinking games in my mates pad. *Joe covers his face and laughs* What can I say, I love jager, sorry mum.

Is your mum the only lovely lady in your life right now, is there room for a bit of love?
My mums my number one lady, I mean how could I go on with out that delicious chicken korma of hers *laughs*. On a serious note, I am single Yellow yep, it's not because I don't have time to pamper a little rock chick but it is just I haven't yet found the right girl who will put up with my crazy ways.

Tell the single Yellow females what your perfect girl is then?
Hmm, tough one! I would have to say smaller than me, I'm not crazy fussy on fashion just someone who looks good, pride in apperance and all that jazz, hmmm, then the genral, funny, caring and very importantly as passionate about music as I am. I am sure Yellow will set me up on a lovely little blind date yeah *laughs*.


Personal lifeaside, your music career then, how did it start and how do you want it to continue?
Well, my step-dad heard me and the lads in my little bedroom fiddling about recording some indie pop of our own after been a fan for so many years, he kind of told me how good we were and got some of his mates from the bizz' to listen to a demo of ours. My step-dad came back saying we had potential in this niche in the market and I kind of laughed it off, I just never thought I would be able to follow suit in the music world so I just stuck to making my way as a music sensation; after recognition from various music labels my step-dad finally gave us that encouraging push into the music world but I refused to do it without him as he was really the reason for me doing it and so he became Vacants manger. I am over the moon with how well we have done, Vacant was always just a hobbie, a pass time after our day jobs y'know, it's just all a bit unbelivable. I am too excited for the future I know there is some great things lined up for the next year and so for us, we are just beginning a very exciting journey.

So, is their any tours or gigs us at Yellow should be keeping our eye out for?
Well I can't give too much away in terms of fesivals or I will get shot off the boss, but I just am crossing my fingers for the following deals we have, I believe I'm allowed to say Leeds Festival is on the horizon at the moment. Erm, then us and the guys have been sitting down discussing maybe a tour at the end of the year, we will keep use up dated. But at the moment we are focusing on our new and upcoming album and our small but regular gigs down Hackney.

Well Joe, Yellow has found it a pleasure speaking to you and we all wish you the very best for the future..
I would just like to say from me, Sean and Damian thanks so much for all the support and we hope to see you guys at Yellow in the near future. All use music kids out their follow your dreams, dont be afraid to break the boundries and stand out, and all that jazz *laugh*, I sound like my mum *laugh*. Thanks again, over and out! *laugh*

Action plan:

Commencing 7th February.

This week I am starting my production on my magazine. I have a rough cut deadline for Wednesday 2nd March to work towards. Thus I need to organise my time to ensure I meet the deadline.

Main article draft - 14th February 
I have set myself this deadline as I feel I will be able to research, plan and create a draft of my article for my double page spread by this time. 

Photography - 20th February
I have set myself this deadline as I feel it is a reasonable length of time to get my photography done from now - considering I am doing location and studio shoots.

Full construction of Magazine - 1st March
I have set myself this deadline as I know I will be able to meet this as it gives me sufficient time it also gives me a one day gap from deadline day for any specific changes I need to make

As I follow this action plan i will have to ensure I constantly update my blog, showing my progress with posts and print screens.

Research and planning feedback:

Thursday 9 February 2012

Font research:

I have came across the website Dafont, http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=107&page=4, here i have found some intresting fonts which i think would be effective to use on my masthead as they fit the genre of the magazine and look more athetically pleasing than a font from a general piece of software like microsoft word.

  • http://www.dafont.com/load-up-on-guns.font - 'Load up on guns' is a font from Dafont which i think would be very good for my masthead as it exemplifies original formality with the formal yet scratched out text.
  • http://www.dafont.com/birth-of-a-hero.font - 'Birth of a hero' is a font from Dafont which i think is very attention grabbing as a rough taste on a modern font, this exemplifies the target audiences style so i believe this would appeal to them.
  • http://www.dafont.com/old-press.font - 'Old press' is a font from Dafont which i think that would look good as it resembles the old fashioned look, this is something which i believe will be of intrest to the target audience as you notice them to wear a lot of clothes which were very popular in the 'olden days'.
  • http://www.dafont.com/rough-typewriter.font - 'Rough typewritter italics' is a font from Dafont which i think would be effective on my sell lines as it is easy to read but still conveys the rough and ready look i am aiming for.

The fonts i have researched above are not the definite fonts i am using in my magazine, during the production process i will come to a final choice upon this matter as i am not yet sure if these fonts will fit well together and look athetically pleasing on my magazine, but i am deffinitly taking insipration if anything from both these fonts and Dafont website.

Test photographs:

I took some test shots of a friend, they are mainly in the studio in which I am intending to take my cover page image. I did this so I could get to grips with the camera, so I knew what type of makeup worked and so I knew what type of shots I thought would and or wouldn't work on my magazine. Here are some of the test shots:



I think this extreme close up shot is one I may consider using for my contents page, I don't think it would work on my cover nor my double page spread. I like the 'stare into the camera' look that has been created here, I think it makes the image gain a lot more depth.



Similarly to prior one this is a style of image I may use on my contents page, or maybe this could work on the double page spread; but I don't think it is a strong enough image for the front cover. I like the subtle use of a prop (the bag) this is something I am going to have to take into consideration when taking my photos for magazine as a simple prop can really add a lot to a photograph.



I really like the angle of this image, I think it makes the model look of a important status', something which you see done in other music magazines with the artists been photographed. I am not sure of the pose that the model has done here, I think I prefer a direct gaze from the model to the camera.


A full body shot is one I may consider for my double page spread, although I am sure I will use one of these style shots on my contents page also.



This image is an example of the model not being the only thing in the frame, in this case it is the window and whats outside, this is something I will take into consideration as after analysing other music magazine I have noted that the models either have props or are in a frame with a interesting background (not a studio), this adds depth and realness to the photograph.



A mid-shot it something I am likely to use for my main image on my front cover as it exemplifies the model in enough detail and keeps them in the focus, this is a shot which most professional magazines have on the cover. Also, I think the setting will similarly be in the studio for my main cover image as too much going on will over crowd the front cover and make it less aesthetically pleasing.

Evidence of props, costume and makeup organisation:


Here i am applying red lipstick to my model, i intend to use a bright red lipstick like this on my cover page model as i want to match the colour of their lips to the masthead. Also i think the red lipstick will be a useful tie in with my house colour scheme (red, white and black). I think the red lipstick will add to my models sex appeal which will be of interest to the male target audience.


Here i am applying a pale covering of foundation to my models face. This is to ensure my models complexion looks spotless which resembles the models complexion in professional magazines due to their fantastic makeup artists. I intend on using a pale foundation as it will make the red lipstick stand out more and be the main focus.

Call sheets:

0Below are the call sheets for the models I am using for my magazine photographs. They include an identity photograph of each model, along with shooting date, shooting information and their role within the photo shoot. It also ensures that they have their model release forms signed so that their permission is granted for me to use them for my photography, which will be published online and printed.
