Making Tweaks To My Creative Pieces - Double-page-spread

Making Tweaks To My Creative Pieces - Contents Page

As you can see I made some tweaks to my magazine contents page after hearing the feedback from my target audience. I made the word 'win' more obvious and bigger as this is a feature that will draw a lot of the target audience to the magazine.

14th March 2016

I have now finished half of my AS media journey. It is now onto the theory side of things! I have had a lot of fun creating my media product and I hope to be able to progress even more next year to get the best grade possible. The best part of this coursework has been finding out about the media industry and how magazines make money. So, by bye for now but I will hopefully be here next year to create some more media products for the A2 part of media studies.

This is the link to my evaluation answer number 7. If this does not work the content is written below.

 

'Looking back at your preliminary task, what do your feel you have learnt from it to the full product?'

Firstly, the preliminary task has been very helpful in the process of creating my music magazine. I have used it to gain skills, experience and confidence in the programmes that I ended up using to perfect my final media product. It has also taught me about the importance of market research and how the conventions of a magazine catch the attention of the target audience. I didn’t know how many common characteristics that there are on a magazine until I started the preliminary task. Some of the most important conventions of a magazine include the masthead and placement of it; the central images and how the central image is anchored (usually by a cover-line).

It was only until I had carried out extensive research that I was able to produce a contents page that was more than just eye catching with a list of content. As you can see, I would not rate my preliminary task contents page at all compared to the final product; however, it was by doing this preliminary task that I was able to see my errors and change the way that I was doing things. The aim of the preliminary task was to produce a school-based magazine with a mock-up contents page.

The first thing that I did was carry out a photo-shoot with a chosen model; I chose my brother as he fit the target audience that I had chosen for my school magazine. The outcome of the first photoshoot that I did for the preliminary task showed me that I needed to concentrate much more on the background of the photos that I was taking, as they were mostly the back of my garden which made it hard when it came to editing the picture. I made my brother wear school clothes to add to the mise-en-scene of the photo; as the pictures that I had taken were on an apple phone, they did not come out in the quality that I had expected, which led me to updating the camera that I used to a lumix in the main tasks.The fonts that I had used on the school magazine cover now look to me to be boring and dull, with little or no variation to them. This defiantly changed as I progressed through the course as I managed to download some new fonts specifically for my magazine cover, that would attract my audience. I then realised that the reason my school magazine was looking so poor was due to me not doing enough research into the magazine industry and the conventions.

The contents page for my preliminary task proved to be very disappointing whilst looking at it now as I do not think that I had the knowledge to make a decent looking contents page. Luckily for me, I conducted more research into contents pages that I liked and gave me inspiration so that in the final contents page, I had enough skills and knew enough about the variety of contents pages, to create one that I was proud of. The contents page for my school magazine just ended up being a mere list of articles that were in my magazine and did not has any visual satisfaction to the reader whatsoever.I did not use any typical conventions on the school magazine that I made which would have made it very hard for the reader to be attracted to reading the rest of the magazine. This taught me that in the final contents page I needed to use more images of the main article in the contents page and split up the text into different sections to make it more exciting for the reader to look at; in addition to this I also used callouts advertising competitions in order to engage the target audience which will entice the young audience who are on a budget.

Luckily, I noticed this when I had finished the preliminary task, because it then lead me to include in my questionnaire what sort of colours my target audience would like to see on the magazine. I then decided to use a primary colour to attract the target audience. In addition to this I used many of the magazine conventions that I had learnt from the preliminary task to make my final product.

In conclusion, the preliminary task gave me the basis for progression and allowed me to learn from my previous mistakes and act upon them. I now know that in order to produce a professional looking image there is a need for layout and planning in a photo-shoot, including considering booking the perfect photography venue, planning out the shots, camera angles and how you are going to represent the model in a way that the target audience can relate to.

'Who would be the audience for your media product?'

To fully understand who the target audience would be for my magazine I carried out a questionnaire on a few people of different ages. This helped me to get a rough idea of what kind of things the target audience would like to see in the magazine and roughly what ages liked what types of thing. I have decided to aim my product as teenage girls aged 17-20 as these are the types of people who would be able to relate to my magazine the most. This is the ideal audience as the images in my magazine are of teenage girls at the age of 17.

The girls that would often read my magazine would enjoy keeping up with the latest trends through clothing, music and common interests with her friends. They would be typical teenagers that like to gossip about celebrities and this is why in future magazine issues I would include some celebrities to draw in the audience even more.

Evaluation Number Three

'What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?'

A media institution is a company that disperses a media product for audience consumption. A magazine would usually be put out nationally but not internationally and would be dispersed into shops such as grocery stores like Sainsbury’s or Tesco, or on a smaller scale, corner shops and newsagents. The most popular magazines in the UK include; IPC media and Bauer media. As these are popular in distributing magazines I decided to look into them further.

Bauer Media

Bauer media distribute a lot of magazines such as the ones in the picture below.

A few of the magazines that stood out from the crowds that Bauer media distribute are ‘Q’ and ‘Kerrang’. This is because they are very well known magazines. On the website (http://www.bauermedia.co.uk/about/our-company) I found that Bauer is a division of the Bauer media group, which is a worldwide media empire offering over 300 magazines in 15 countries, as well as online, T.V and radio stations. This made me curious as to whether I thought they may be interested in distributing my magazine as we aim to target a large audience in the mass market. They are also a UK-based media group and are widely recognised and rewarded as being industry innovators. Bauer Media is very well-known in the industry as having a wide-span of control over well-known brands. Bauer is an example of media vertical integration; this is the process in which several steps in the production and/or distribution of a product or service are controlled by a single company in order to increase that companies power in the marketplace. Currently, the magazines with the leading sales figures for Bauer is heat. This is a womens weekly magazine so this shows Bauer is not as successful in music magazines that some other companies.

IPC Media

IPC is the UK’s leading consumer magazine publisher and they engage with 2 million UK adults. IPC media has ownership over many popular brands such as Marie Claire and Women’s weekly. Their company reaches a huge number of people and is therefore a hugely influential player in the media market. Their audience consists of almost two thirds of UK women and 42% of men. This shows that IPC media own a broad genre of media products which shows that they appeal to many people. IPC media has three publishing divisions; IPC connect, IPC inspire and IPC Southbank. Each of these divisions serves a different function within the media group. They have more than 60 brands, less than Bauer Media.

IPC Media may also be a good company to distribute my media product as it is a very popular media institution and distributes music magazines such as ‘NME’. My magazine is targeting a mass audience and they are not currently distributing any magazine that is quite like mine, for example, the genre, dance, has not really been done before. The company is distributing well known music magazines and so it has experience in the marketing side to music magazines which would give me many advantages.

 Conclusion

I believe that Bauer magazine would be the best media institution to distribute my film as it is the best opportunity to make my magazine successful. In my opinion my magazine has the potential to expand and become as big as some of the other music magazines in the industry and so Bauer would be very interested in distributing my magazine. Bauer would benefit in investing in my magazine as they would be able to help my magazine grow and become big in the industry, this would look good as their reputation would go up for having another successful magazine added to their list. In addition to this, my magazine is physically appealing and uses many conventions of a magazine that have been successful in the past; meaning that my magazine has a big chance of surviving in the magazine industry. Therefore, it will not be a risk for Bauer to distribute my magazine. Bauer will see that the magazines that they are distributing may not be as popular in the future so they have to keep building up their database of magazines to keep the company fresh with ideas.

Evaluation Number One

'In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? '

Front Cover

The first hurdle that I had to get over when creating my magazine was the title. When I personally think of titles of magazine I think, creative, fun and bold, so this is why I chose the word ‘Bounce’ to represent my magazine. It depicts the magazine is interesting and is a word that a majority of people would link to dance music; this would hopefully attract the attention of my target audience as they can link the masthead to the content of the magazine. I have seen in many magazines that the content or ‘genre’ or magazine is usually shown in the title which is why I chose to do this also. In many of the magazines that I have analysed I saw that the companies had put the masthead at the top of the page in the centre, which is what I chose to do as when the magazine is on the shelf, my target audience will still be able to see it. Therefore, as the masthead would be the very first thing my audience see, I was committed to making it look outstanding; which is why I chose to have a cold font with and interesting twist as the heart being an ‘o’; this will make my magazine look more intriguing and so the reader will want to buy it. I would describe the font as being bubbly which is great for my magazine as it is rounded, much like a ball, which people link to ‘bouncing’, therefore by choosing this font, it will attract the attention of viewers. I have seen in a fair few magazines that the creators like to use primary colours to stand out against the rest of the magazine cover. In addition to these conventions I chose to use white and red as I felt these were two brilliantly contrasting colours that complement each other and are the first colours someone would see when look through the heaps of magazines on the shelves.

 

The images on the front cover and inside the magazine are (to myself) one of the most important factors to think about when creating a magazine as this is how companies directly target the audience. It is because of this that I chose to really concentrate on my main cover image. Magazines usually use famous or well-known people to model for the front cover of their magazine; however, for someone like me, this just wasn’t possible; therefore, I decided to use someone with the same unique style and look, as the target audience. This would make them feel personally targeted by the magazine, attracting them to buy it to know more about the content and read the articles. I asked the model to wear something bright, as if she was going to a festival and her makeup was well-done up, resembling that of most festival-goers. The colours that she wore fitted perfectly with the colour scheme that I had chosen as they were bright and pink, which is stereotypically, associated with a ‘girls’ colour. The reason that I did this was because many magazines use the colours in their photos to represent the target audience for the magazine and pull in the ideal readers. The pose that my model is in does not typically challenge the conventions of a magazine, however the model is not making eye-contact with the camera, which most magazines choose to avoid; I did this as it makes the magazine look a little different and so it will stand out from all the other magazines. The picture is edited to look slightly older or ‘indie’ as the target audience would often refer to it as. This makes the picture stand out to the target audience and they will know that this magazine is aimed towards them.

 

 

 

The cover-line of my magazine cover is clearly in a bolder font which is different than all the other fonts on the front of the magazine so that it clearly anchors the main image and the reader can see what the main article is about. I chose a plain and simple font for the written content on the cover as it is easy to read and will attract the target audience as it is girly and elegant. Finally, the colours I chose for the titles of articles are just plain black; this may come as a surprise to the reader as black is a dull colour, so this would not go with the conventions of a magazine, however I really did think this was the best colour to contrast the pink with as it gives a sultry look, which shows the reader the magazine is for the older girls in their teens, not the younger ones. Everything that I have chosen to place on my magazine cover I tried to fit with the conventions of a magazine, however if they challenged them, I made sure that I had a justified answer as to why I ignored them on that feature.

 

 

Contents Page

 

The images that I chose for my contents page are full of people (mainly girls) in festival clothing with directly relates to the content and genre of the magazine which is a common conventions of magazines as this will make the reader understand that the magazine is all about festivals and dance music. I did not need to edit the pictures as they were taken on a disposable camera so they came out very unique which will stand out when compared to other magazine contents pages. All of the images are bright and airy with ambiguous background which makes the magazine seem jam-packed with information and articles for the target audience to read. As my cover model is one of the main features of the magazine I chose to include her in the contents page as-well. This sort of goes against the conventions of a magazine however some do choose to do this. I did this because I believe it emphasises the importance of the article and shows the model in a different perspective, having fun with her friends, which gives the magazine a positive vibe.

 

The contents page heading is on the top left of the page (a lot of magazines do this), to clearly tell the reader what date the magazine was issued and that this is where they can find the information about what is inside the magazine; in addition to this, the fonts are bold and plain to show this is important information. Most magazines keep to a colour scheme so this is why I did the same by having the red backgrounds and writing. The font of the contents page features and regulars are much the same and are soft with no sharp edges as I wanted to emphasise that the magazine is for girls in their teens. Largely, I kept the text to the left-hand-side of the contents page as I feel this is where we as people start reading form so this would pull in the target audience to want to know what the catchy articles are about in full.

 

Double-Page-Spread

The written content of the double page spread was a big area that I needed to ensure that I got right; this is because it is the main feature of my magazine and will be a big part of why the target audience will pick up my magazine. This needed some serious research. So, after I had look at some contents pages that had inspired me to get myself together and write the perfect piece, I decided to have a large picture on the left side of my double page spread, this would take up the entire A4 side as it is the person that the reader has been waiting to read about! Many magazines choose to have one side of their article picture-based, but it is not a necessity as every-one has different preferences. There are a variety of different ways that I could have set out my written text on the double-page spread but I decided to do it in an interview form. This goes with the conventions of a magazines as this makes the reader feel as though the ‘main person’ featuring in the magazine is talking directly to them, this will make them feel personally involved with the magazine giving them a sense of wanting to read more. I felt that the best way to have my double-page spread was to have the text in columns to show organisation and make the presentation look good. The main image is in black and white with the lips being in a bright red colour; I did this because the red lipstick links to the red in the colour scheme and is very girly. It will also remind the reader of the summer days at festivals, listening to dance music, which will link back to the genre of the magazine. The model’s hair is slightly wavy as this implies she goes to camping festivals often, where there are no resources to straighten hair, giving her a natural, airy look. She is posed, head facing sideways, looking towards the text compelling the reader to want to know more about this person as she looks mysterious. Magazines often show their model on the double page spread as being mysterious and sultry as this is a common conception as to how women are portrayed in modern day media.

 

Next, I debated on what the large font should be and what it should say. Deciding to have just ‘Rianna Caira’ as the main text as it does not take any attention away from the actual text itself; I then chose to have a little enticing line underneath to persuade the reader that this is the article that they want to read. Many magazines have the ‘famous’ person’s name in bold writing as the first thing the audience will see, to show they are important and to excite the reader. The font that I chose for the main title of the double page spread links back to the main front cover as it also had a heart as one of the letters; however, on this page the font makes the writing look more personalised as if it was a signature, which is more fulfilling for the reader to look at. I developed the common convention of having the famous model’s name written in bold on the double-page spread as mine is much subtler and shows a more girly side to the cover model, rather than the common conception that women have to be empowering to men to be able to get their way. The font in which I put my description as to what the article is about, is in a plain text, leaving the last word ‘lover’ in the title’s funkier text. This is contrasting and makes the page look more interesting which will stand out when looking at all the articles in different magazines.

 



Feedback of Double Page Spread

 

Shown above, are three images of texts that I sent my friends asking them to review my double-page spread. I chose these three friends as they are not the closest of mine so I knew I would get an honest review form them about how I could make the product better. One common improvement from the friends that I saw is that they believe that more written content on the double-page spread would make is more visually pleasing as there would not be as many blank spaces on the page. One of the friends also stated that a fact-file may also be a good space-filler, this is an option that I am going to consider when I make some tweaks to my double-page spread because I think it makes the model look more interesting and will persuade the reader to want to read the article to know more about her.

In contrast to this, my friends said that they like the camera angle of the photo as it shows the expression in the model's face, after hearing this, I believe that I made a good decision when deciding to put the image in black and white as I think it makes the picture softer which is more relaxing for the target audience to look at, however I also have the red lips which is striking against the black and white of the photo, drawing the reader in further. Friend 2 said that the double-page spread obviously had some common characteristics of other magazines; this is a good outcome from the feedback as it shows that I have used the common conventions of magazines which are proven to be successful in drawing in the attention of the readers.

Finally, the final friend, friend 3 said that they loved the style of writing on the double-page spread. I did this because it is common  phrases and words such as 'fabulous' and 'chilled' that the target audience may use in their vocabulary. I should know this as I am part of the target audience itself so I have personal insight into what the target audience would look for in this sort of magazine.

In conclusion, I have decided that I am going to add more text to the article, such as some more questions or maybe a short story form the model about her experience at the festival. This will improve my media product further and make it look more professional. Also, to reduce the amount of blank space that is shown on the double-page spread I am going to re-interview the model and create a short fact-file to put in the top right corner of the page. Hopefully, after making these improvements my target audience will be more  attracted to the magazine.

Finished Final Double-Page Spread

This is my finished double-page-spread. I decided to have the text on the right side of the page so that the reader could see the model on the left before reading the article. She is sitting in a mysterious pose with no eye-contact, enticing the reader to want to find out more about her so they will read the article. I edited the picture to be in black and white as the red text and red lips is more striking against a plain background. The red on the model's lips can show a deeper connotation of passion and lust, which makes the reader curious about the model and what her article is going to be about. This also carries on the dominant red colour scheme on the front cover and contents page of the magazine; this makes the magazine flow. The double-page-spread represents the target audience as being relaxed, but in contrast to this, energetic. I have done this by using common teenage girl language making the reader feel more connected to the article and having them wanting to read more about the festivals that they could be going to.

Finally, the font that I have used in this media product is girly and elegant, which represents my media product as following the stereotypes of young teenage girls. I did this because I believe that the magazine should have some sort of font that links the magazine to girls of a teen age, to show the target audience that this magazine has been designed specifically for them.

A Second Photo-Shoot. Was it Worth it?

So, after careful consideration I made a huge decision to restart my photo-shoot as the first batch of photos that I took I feel that I didn't put the most amount of effort into that I could of. This was a hard decision to make as it meant getting my camera ready and finding models to use that are appropriate for the magazine. As you can imagine, this was not easy!

I chose to change the environment that I took my photos in as this meant I had a large range of pictures to compare and see which ones worked best. Therefore, the second sets of photos were taken in the Chapel at my school. The lighting was perfect! It wasn't too bright but on the other and didn't make the photos look dull and colourless.

I didn't expect this photo-shoot to turn out very well as I had lost a huge amount of faith in my creativity skills so when I looked back at the photos that I had taken I was pleasantly surprised and relieved to say that I had found the perfect pictures to use. I also decided to throw in some pictures that I had taken last year at festivals because, well, that is what my magazine is about! Unfortunately I didn't even use the second batch of photos as after I had played around with some of the first pictures on a photo-editing site I decided they were perfect for the cover and double-page spread.

19th Februrary 2016

The past two weeks have been all about doing research for my double-page-spread. This is (for me) the most important section of the magazine for me as it is most likely one of the reasons the reader has picked up and bought the product, therefore it needs to be gripping and exciting. I have found that like the magazine front cover there are common conventions to the double-page-spread also.

Double-Page Spread Mock-Up

double page spread inspiration

I am going to use these two images as inspiration for my double-page spread. The first one of Adele that I have used is inspiration to me as I believe the picture is powerful as it is of a very well-known artist. She is not looking towards the camera which makes the reader view her as mysterious and so they will want to know more about her. The large headline is catchy and inspirational to the reader who can infer that she has come out of nothing. The second double-page spread that I have used as inspiration is the one of Nicki Minaj. I like the way that the text is set out in an interview style as it pulls me in to reading it because it is easy to follow and makes me feel directly involved with the interview.

Double Page Spread Analysis

5th February 2016

After making the final media product for my music magazine contents page, I have considered the feedback that I have got from people and am going to make a few changes to the contents page to make it (hopefully) even more professional. I will show the before and after in another blog post and show the before and after changes.

Feedback of My Contents Page

Final Contents Page

This is my final contents page. I am very proud of it and I didn't think that I could make a contents page that was even close to as professional as I wanted. I have used bright primary colours (mostly red) to make the page look attractive and draw in the target audience. In my research I noticed that teenage girls of the social group that I am targeting are not the stereotypical girls that love the colour pink and all things girly; therefore I did not use much pink and colours that have been stereotyped as 'girls colours'. The font that I have used to show that this is the contents page is bold and plain, this shows the reader that this page is where they can get all the information they need about what is inside the magazine. The other fonts are quite plain, yet also elegant as they had to target girls specifically. Finally, I used a range of images of girls of the target audience as this will make the reader feel that the magazine is personally targeted towards them.

Mock-up Contents Page

22nd January 2016

A lot has happened in the last two weeks, I have shown my final front cover and received a little bit of feedback from it. I have also found that there are actually many challenges facing the magazine industry which has been interesting to research as it gave me an insight into the real-life media world.

Contents Page Inspiration

These are two perfect examples of how I want my contents page to look. They both have the same colour scheme of red to strike the reader and the layout of the contents page is how I would like mine to be. Many of the images shown are well-known people which makes the reader wonder what their article is about.

What Are The Challenges Facing the Magazine Industry?

Final Front Cover Feedback

The feedback from my magazine cover is very supportive however it does highlight that a few changes can be made to the magazine to increase the amount of people that feel this is a magazine they can connect to and would potentially buy. In addition to this, it depicts that an area that may be changed could be the price as Rianna said 'some competitors have lower prices'. We may accept this and keep the same price however, I will carefully consider the prices of our competitors and see what adjustments can be made.



Finished Magazine Cover

My finished magazine cover is bright and colourful. I chose the red in one of the letters of the masthead as it is a primary colour so it is eye-catching and some people would associate the colour with love and passion; I want the target audience to believe that we are passionate about dance music. I also incorporated some pink on the front cover as this makes the front cover more girly and targets teenage girls. I have represented a stereotypical teenage girl using this front cover; the stereotype being that teenage girls like the colour pink and everything girly.  The main image is of a cover model who is in a relaxed pose wearing bright colours to represent summer and festivals. This will make the reader feel connected to the magazine which will persuade them to reach for this one over other magazines. The main image is anchored by a bold text which is exciting for the reader making them want to know more about the models first time at a festival.

8th January 2016

Since my last blog post I have been looking at other front covers that have inspired me to set out my front cover in the way that I will. I have done extensive planning and research into the industry of magazines whilst also planning my photo-shoot for the real thing. It may take me a while to get the perfect shot for the front cover but I am sure I will get it! It has been hard to know what will look professional on my front cover so I am going to do some more research into the conventions of a magazine to ensure that I have nailed the art of conventions to make the best front cover that I can.

Contact sheets

These are some contact sheets for the pictures I have taken for my magazine. The ones on he left will be better for the magazine as they are portrait so will fit the shape of the page better. However I think the lighting was good and I chose them to do poses that are suitable for my genre of magazine. If I were to do the photo-shoot again I would have more photos portrait rather than landscape. I chose to do photos in this way because their facial expressions are fun and happy which is what I want to show to the readers about my magazine. 

Planning my photoshoot

For my photo-shoot I am going to take with me my canon camera with fully charged battery's so that I can ensure the battery does not die during the photo-shoot. Furthermore, I need to bring makeup with me for the model. The photo-shoot will happen in the evening using studio lights to make the picture quality better quality; it will happen inside as this eliminates the problems of if it starts raining. We will have use of a white background which will be made by pulling down a projector screen behind the model; this makes it easier when editing the photo as there is a clear background.

As I am doing a photo-shoot including DJ's I will need to use props that are relatable to the festival scene. For my main cover image I will use a girl of the age 16 to pose as a DJ with headphones on looking down at the decks. The reason I am doing this is because she is the age of the target audience so the readers will feel they can relate to the cover model. I will also need a boy for my contents page; it will be a close-up image of him looking sideways on with his mouth open; I will then use editing to put the picture in black and white with the words of the contents page falling out of his mouth. To do this I will not need any props as it is a simple photo. Studio lighting and a tripod will help to increase the quality of the photo so these are some props that I need. Clothing for the models will be essential as this shows a bit about the model. This is why I will be using ripped jeans and T-shirts as this is the normal thing for DJ's to wear.

The cover image will be of a girl who is wearing a t-shirt with bright colours with headphones on around her neck or on one ear to emphasise her role and show the reader what the main story of the magazine is about. There will be a white background so that it is easier to edit. The image will be a mid-shot as this is the most suitable type of camera shot to use for the cover image. I have ensured that the cover model will be available at the time of the photo-shoot to stop any problems arising.

The contents page will be of a boy of around 15-17 who will be side on with his mouth open. In addition to this, the image will be quite a dark and grungy but will show the contrast as I will be editing it to be in black and white. This will be appealing to the target audience as it is eye-catching and different as no other magazine contents pages are set out.

finally, the double page spread will be of the cover model as this links to the main article in the magazine. The double page spread will be about a DJ's first set and how they became a DJ. The image will be a strong image of a girl with headphones around her neck sitting on a chair in a fairly manly way to show that she is strong and powerful, which will be admiral for the readers. The makeup will be heavily made up with a curly hairstyle. it will be in a house background but with a plain wall and plain floor so she is the main image. The lighting will be strong and this image will be the most eye-catching one in the whole magazine as this is the main article. After editing the writing will be around the image emphasising that this is the main focus.
