Target audienceTarget audienceMy target audience is

males aged between 16- 21 however it may appeal to females between that

age too. I chose the genre rock because I feel most

comfortable with that type of music and feel

that it appeals to a lot of people in the 21st century.

I decided to make sure my magazine wasn’t too main stream and wanted to make the front cover

really stand out.

My Magazine represents a rock social group by

having strong colours

throughout and the doll having make

up on shows a thriller-like

theme which would mainly

appeal to males who

listen to rock music.

Contents pageContents pageMy contents follows the colour scheme and I made sure that I had a lot of pictures to go alongside the descriptions. I wanted to make use of the Photoshop skills I had learnt over the process and decided to use smoke brushes as my background.

Double Page Double Page SpreadSpread

My double page spread is naturalistic but bold. I wanted the band to stand out more than the actual interview as I feel that the image says more about the band than the interview. I wanted the name of the band ‘Dead Secretary’ to stand out so I put it in the middle of the text.

My results My results from:from:(Evidence of Audience

I am very pleased with the feedback I have got. I have achieved everything that I wanted to in my USP.

I contacted my audience through and I used survey

monkey to collect my results.

My magazine is similar to Kerrang and uses similar fonts.

Where would you find Where would you find Revolution?Revolution?

The media institution that might distribute my magazine

would most probably be a record store such as HMV as

its not very mainstream.IPC distribute my magazine to HMV so I would not have to worry about delivering the magazine myself.

What have I learnt about What have I learnt about technologies during the technologies during the

making of my magazine?making of my magazine?I have learnt a lot about different technology's from the process of constructing this product.

Before I came to AS media I had only used Photoshop by helping my mum with her Village Connection magazine – a local

magazine distributed to 6000 homes, over this course I have used my Photoshop skills outside of my college hours to help with the design of

her magazine.

My Photoshop skills have improved for instance I now know how to download brushes from the internet and include them in my work, I know how to use layers which are crucial when designing a magazine.

What have I learnt What have I learnt overall?overall?

I have learnt a lot during my Media AS course looking back at my preliminary task I didn’t know how to use layers in the correct way, I didn’t use enough layers so if I found a spelling mistake in a particular part of my work I would have to delete a far amount of work in order to rectify my mistake.
