This is a questionnaire for teenager who are

between 16 to 18 years old. I want this

questionnaire to make communication from me

to them. Because I want know what they real

think and how is their real life. This

questionnaire doesn’t need writing name down,

so they will answer as their real think.

When this questionnaire feedback, I will know a

lot of information from them and understand

how to make they feel interesting and which

things they will be happy to enjoy.

Lastly I can use these feedback to start made

my magazine, because I already know what are

their interest things.

This shows result

of my survey

monkey

questionnaire.

Who is your target audience? Is it all sixth formers or a specific group?

My target audience is going to the males of 16 years old teenager who are still learning in sixth form. Of this people who are really want get good job and go to university in their future. They are spending time for learning when they after school, so I think they maybe will like to read something of learning method’s magazine.

What are their interests?

Of my result shows a lot of people are choose TV is their main interesting and lowest people are feeling reading is interesting. I will make an article base of TV programme, because the students they are feel that is main interesting so I want use TV to make them want to buy this magazine.

What magazines do they buy? How often?

They are sometime to buy the school magazine and no one is always to buy the school magazine, this shows they don’t like to spending money to buy lot magazine. So I make an article which is they feel really interesting. The article will always have different story at every week or every month. This is because 16 people always like the fresh things and news. If the magazine always talking about the something, they will don’t buy that magazine anymore. So I need give the difference story and news to make them like it and can’t leave it than will increases the number of people always buy the school magazine.

What socio-economic group are they?

They are students because they only 16 years old, so they are E level group of socio – economic. They will interesting about which job can make lot money and not to hard. Because they are students, they never have work before so they may want have a easy job and also have nice wages.

Original Photo

Magazine Cover

My original photo’s

background was a wall and

the colour is very dark. But

my magazine cover is pure

white background and

colour is bright than the

original. This is because I

was used the Photoshop

redesign of my original

photo.

• Cutting out an image – I cut away all the

background of my photo.

• Changing colour balance – I have increase

the brightness of my model which makes his

face clear and skin colour more natural.

• Cropping to medium close up – My original

photo was small, I increased the size on my

magazine because original size is not big

enough for my magazine.

• Add a shadow of my model to make him look

more strong and more powerful.

Evaluation

Photoshop skills: I have find difficult of clone stamp for using

Photoshop because was difficult to find same colour on some

image. I was make mistake of moving layers around because some

time the layers became mixed. I have improved this by making my

magazine.

Magazine Cover: My magazine was doing well but other people

said I have to use colour which is for the teenager because my

magazine cover's front colour is too child.

My front colour and style was not fit my magazine’s theme because

my magazine theme is about study, but my front style was too child

so it is not fit my theme. People says my magazine model was

wearing a grey colour coat and my front colour is too bright which is

orange and yellow. So I can improve the front colour next time to

make sure it fit my model clothes colour.

Research: My research was shows 16 years old young people and

who are the male as most than I made my magazine theme is about

16s young males. This is a reason of I choose a boy to be my

model.

Music

Magazine

My Target AudienceMy magazine will be aimed at music magazine and the audience will be

face to young females who are age 16 years old to 19 years old. Also

these young females should most have job and the percentage of

magazine. Most young people they like to buy Q magazine is because

they always have interesting news and always let people surprise.

My audience will be similar to theirs and I also want my magazine have

own style. I will choose the similar colour style to Q for my masthead

and strapline.

My audience might buy the 'Smash hits' because as my questionnaire

feedback shows have many people choose Q magazine also have lot

people they are choose 'Smash hits'. The 'Smash hits' also have many

difference news and which is make younger girls feel interesting.

My audience might interest of hip hop music style. Because as my

questionnaire feedback shows have 80% people choose hip hop style

for their loves music style.

My questionnaire result was shown what is the audience like and what

style news they may love

NME Magazine

Cover Analysis

The ‘NME’ magazine has 73% reader are males and they all

around 25 years old. This means that ‘NME’ magazine audience

most is young males. On this magazine cover, Rihanna looks

really fantasy and magic because a bird which is have full body

of blue diamond sit on her left shoulder. The bird colour is same

as Rihanna’s make up. This will let she looks more different and

mystery. Because in the human world never have diamond

bird, so a diamond bird is sitting on her shoulder is like this bird

is surrender to her. She also shows music world is never the

same, its same like myth world. In music world you never get

bored and never have same news. This links to NME’s audience

because they always love indie music which means they do

want every thing be same and bored. They want novel news and

unique style news.

She have a really thick make up which means very colourful. She

used azure and bright pink for her eye shadow. This is because

that bird which is sitting on her shoulder have navy diamond cover

full body. She used same colour with bird’s for eye shadow

because this will shows they are from same world.

This magazine has used pink front written ‘RIHANNA’ for strapline

which is same as the masthead. Her lips also is pink colour can

link to strapline to make whole image very coordination. She

wearing a pure black T-shirt, if use other front for strapline will

broke this image’s sense of harmony. Also because in this

magazine cover front only used three colour which is pink, white

and black. The strapline is use her name as big front is because

she is most famous singers, people who loved music all know who

are she and they want to thorough understand she. When reader

see her name as big for strapline will increase their interest of this

magazine.

Double Page Spread analysisMain imageThis double page has

use very big image

and which is up a

whole page also touch

to the second page.

This will let the mise

en sense as really

powerful which is

impact reader’s eyes.

BackgroundThe background used

a ‘USA’ as really big

font. This is link to the

main image because

the that lady is sitting

on a USA flag. This is

help reader to quickly

know who are she and

where she come from.

Also this font has

touch to the second

page because it need

symmetry with main

image.

First letterThe first letter is black and using

really unique style font. This will

affect to the audience because

reader will think really nicely as sight

and feel noble of this. The first letter

use this black special font is upgrade

whole page level and let reader can

focus as reading the text.

ColumnThe column are structured well and

really neat. Which means there have

space between each one. This is effect

the whole text upgrade and fun.

Because if not use column to spread

text than will make it so bored and

influence reader stop reading.

Feature tittle The tittle also used

mature and novel

font. This is link to

the first letter and

image. It will effect

the audience first

impressions of she is

noble and dignified.

Also it shows what

style of her music.

This could help

like.

Double Page Spread analysisMain imageThe image takes up

to whole page

because use big full

image can

outstanding Lady

Gaga ‘s strange

style. Audience who

love Lady Gaga is

because she always

take the unusual

route. This image

can effect readers

very excite.

BackgroundThe background are

used pure white

because reader will

more focus as the

texts. Because Lady

Gaga is really

mystery and she is

like a mysterious

cave, people want

thorough walk into

her world. The white

back ground can give

reader enough zone

to focus on text. Also

they used big red ‘L’

to cover second

page next by her

photo. This is effect

reader to excitement.

First letterOn second page has use two simple

black font which is ‘S’ and ‘L’. This is used

to spread text. Which means when they

talk about another topic they used big first

letter to spread. This can effect audience

easy to read text and clear spread

information.

ColumnOn this page used column to spread the

whole texts. This is because if give up full

page of text will make people fatigue to

reader and also no many people have

patient to reader full page of text. But they

used column to spread it could effect

audience can relaxed to read which

means increase their interest to finish

read this text.

need focus on the

main text.

Double Page Mock-UpCrosshead

- For my crosshead I

chose put here because

my magazine want to

similar as ‘Q’ and their

double page style look

like this.

I will use a big capital

letter for base of my main

text because of ‘Q’

magazine double page

they always used big

capital letter for the text to

build up.

Background- For the background I

will chose pure white for

it. Because it white can

outstanding the image

and text to make reader

more focus on read text.

Text - My text content will

used interview of my

double page star.

Because reader could

want to know the world of

star and feel it really

interesting.

Main image

- My image will use my

model’s single photo.

Because I need my

image to link my text, my

text is interview my page

star so the image should

focus on she.

Text box- I will put a small text

box with middle front

which is on the same

page with my image, in

the box I will use a

sentence which is from

my model. Because when

reader see the image

they also can see that

text will increase their

interest.

Masthead analysisThis masthead is from ‘Q’ magazine, it have

unique style which is a red square for the base

and a capital letter of Q. This style could guide

interest from reader who are middle class or

high class.

This masthead is from ‘BBC’ music and ‘BBC’ have

used their classic style and different style front of ‘u’.

This masthead also is guide interest of middle class

group.

‘NME’ have used 3 classic colour for the masthead which is

red, black and white. This three colour collocation together make

audiences feel fashion and interest. This masthead shows right

colour collocation together can expression their magazine’s theme.

The ‘Billboard’ is a fashion masthead, because it really have

colouring and front style look like very leisure. This type

masthead have shows their magazine target audiences most

is young adult, because they like everything new and fashion.

This masthead is likeness ‘Q’ magazine, ‘VIBE’ have used red colour for

background and bold front. It look like simple and generous, this shows their

magazine is both gender aimed.

Planning MastheadI chose my masthead like this because it look like the

‘Q’ magazine and my music magazine theme is pop

music. I think this masthead can expression the pop

music’s feeling which is tenderness and quiet also

fashion.

MelodyI chose my masthead (Aharoni) like this because its bold and clear, it

can make easier for read to see. A pop music always lead people’s mind

to high level, this means that pop music is head of fashion and I chose

this style of my masthead because they look like simple and generous.

MelodyI chose my masthead like this because it look like very official. Pop

music is different between other types music, it always lead listener’s

mood. My masthead use this official front is because it simple and

easier for reader to understand what style of my music magazine.

MelodyI chose my masthead like this because it look like very fashion, it have

different style compare with others. Pop music have a lot of different

form, it could be official, could be tenderness also could cheerful. This

masthead can arouse reader’s enthusiasm and enjoy my magazine.

Strapline analysis

Main strapline-This magazine have use

big front of cover star’s

name for main strapline.

Because when reader see

the cover star could want to

know something about

she, so if use her name for

main masthead and add her

speak will increase reader’s

interest.

Second strapline- This magazine have

used three strapline to

build their style, it easy

for reader to find theme of

this magazine. Because

when reader see the

cover page, they will not

careful to read all small

detail. But this cover page

have used form of

strapline to shows their

story in the cover page to

make reader easy to

understand also lead

whole page more

powerful.

Third strapline- This strapline used

puff to collocation with

it, different form with

other strapline to

prominent the magazine

theme.

Strapline Plan

I will chose this strapline for my magazine cover

page, because it look like more interesting and not boring.

When reader see this on the cover page, it will cause their

interest because it different with other normal strapline.

LXUAN‘I’m not a genius, I keep trying…

IN THE MUSIC WORLD

I ACHIEVE MY DREAM...”

I will chose this strapline style for my main

strapline, because it use biggest front to shows

name of cover star. Also it look like simple and

generous, when reader see the strapline like

this will easier for them to understand what this

magazine main detail and will feel interesting.

I will chose this strapline style for my magazine cover

because it look like very 3D and it build up the feeling.

This is easier for reader to find the important content of

my magazine. Also this strapline will impact reader’s feel

and build whole magazine more powerful.

Process of my images

These images is the initial idea for my magazine

cover, contents page and double page. When I process

my magazine I find out which images are most suitable my

magazine theme. The final image that is one of these

shown.

Magazine cover pageHere are some images which is I took before and shows on last page. I think these image is

suitable my magazine theme also it can build my magazine have most professional.

I have chose this image is

because she wearing formal

and with glasses. It can

cause my magazine have

stand out and build tension

of formal. The only thins I

need to do is use Photoshop

and enlarge the image.

I have chose this image as

final for my magazine cover.

Because this image have

mixed which is formal and

cute. A music magazine

could have protean, this
