Although by the end of the final piece I had become much more confident with using the tools within the software.<br />The biggest thing I have learnt from this project is not to rush in with all your ideas thinking that it will tern out amazing if you just 'throw them all together' but to take the time to plan it out and find the best way to put all those ideas together to form the best presentation you can achieve.joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17101951385934003834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679279576810289397.post-11679391346947648652010-04-21T11:50:00.000-07:002010-04-23T08:36:04.263-07:00Question 4 and 5 EvaluationWho would be the audience for my media product and how did I attract / address my audience ?<br /><br />Teenage to early twenty males, from a better off working class or lower middle class background would be the perfect demographic profile of a buyer of this magazine. Also in terms of a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">psychographic</span> profile would be an attitude of rebellion, where they just want to do their own thing, with interests in guitar and rock music. With a 'rock and roll', hedonistic life style, this means they would not be to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">bothered</span> with their work or other responsibilities, but only the things they enjoy and want to do.

The colour is good but would prefer a more vintage style to go with the theme of retro looking guitar<br /><br />This is good criticism as it brings up issues as to whether I have laid my cover out in the right way, and if I should have chose a slightly different font.<br /><br />8:29pm<a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1320700828">Scott</a><br />i think the fonts and colours are very <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">eye catching</span> for the young <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">audience</span>, they stand out well. because my attention is caught i want to read on because it is easily lay out.<br /><br />8:33pm<a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1034993662">Ryan</a><br />i thought that it was good. i Also <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">thought</span> that it suited your target audience well.<br /><br />8:33pm<a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1358621357">Sam</a><br />the fonts were good and worked well together creating a young look to the magazine and i liked the colours as i thought they worked well together.<br /><br />But the fact that sam thought the fonts look good show there is a difference of opinion within my target audience.<br /><br />The feedback i <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">received</span> from my magazines audience suggests that i did my audience research well and that the fonts and colours used were the right ones for my magazine as all the people I asked either like rock music or play guitar and so would be interested in buying this magazine.

This photo demonstrates the dominant representation of my magazine.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoSNtN8MmQkoZz1WxGLIvkrcv6XriMT2VUMkI7PUpy_IBhKGPLPzvK2Asq6jrZT2PlWFECmmJNVbwIthrn5lWzksiYVtlAR_fMJirnEZ51znvi10LHehVd_yaOVXIP5I0UmkFo1XH2uQM/s1600/All_Time_Low.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462660706534172690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoSNtN8MmQkoZz1WxGLIvkrcv6XriMT2VUMkI7PUpy_IBhKGPLPzvK2Asq6jrZT2PlWFECmmJNVbwIthrn5lWzksiYVtlAR_fMJirnEZ51znvi10LHehVd_yaOVXIP5I0UmkFo1XH2uQM/s320/All_Time_Low.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Its also aimed at teenage to early twenties age bracket, in terms of socio-economic class the magazine is aimed at the lower middle class as the magazine looks at expensive equipment. Another group this magazine is aimed at is 'computer geek/technical types' not because of the style of the magazine but because of the content as there are articles on effects used etc.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>In terms of communicating the magazines values to the reader, the language used is very important as it is casual and 'everyday', very informal. Also the use of photos, for instance the main photo on the contents page shows a guitar neck focusing on the plactrum. However the stings are vibrating but also slightly blurred, so the photos are stylish but at the same time have some edge to them. </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-c2UWEEP2-Sp1Myxm7LEHp0V3TV3_yaV-7z3MNDC_QGKucX5xFa9kWkiY-rrGf6W758Nt7Jw3n5FgMkfersKhr0hQr6JoJlAnuCPnXd-iTbHf2uykj9uCOIyEj4O2YouoI9kArrvlcGM/s1600/contents.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 230px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463357349107526514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-c2UWEEP2-Sp1Myxm7LEHp0V3TV3_yaV-7z3MNDC_QGKucX5xFa9kWkiY-rrGf6W758Nt7Jw3n5FgMkfersKhr0hQr6JoJlAnuCPnXd-iTbHf2uykj9uCOIyEj4O2YouoI9kArrvlcGM/s320/contents.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17101951385934003834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679279576810289397.post-26588520666845204822010-04-12T03:46:00.000-07:002010-04-21T11:26:26.850-07:00Question 1 Evaluation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5e6yYz5B77kUzkqXI8V5d6hYh3d1W1CuZd5aPheTioLk42S6FN7EUo2GqJguhCN3LtZAr6D3g66_2gxcH5sDfOUylBkx1NVREiwFVi-zUaek6rradWCfElnbat3xnr29tGqW-F4sVN4/s1600/guitarist.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 226px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461924542775309522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5e6yYz5B77kUzkqXI8V5d6hYh3d1W1CuZd5aPheTioLk42S6FN7EUo2GqJguhCN3LtZAr6D3g66_2gxcH5sDfOUylBkx1NVREiwFVi-zUaek6rradWCfElnbat3xnr29tGqW-F4sVN4/s320/guitarist.jpg" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0v-6Q7vN1IW-Z3F4Niah1aKVEDXElIcjdFoKfG-3-A74vQWwa95sfWuqt4_AOyQyP-ewaFhyphenhyphenh04HhqZyulETkZonu2ehhVDbZoOwlueOY3V7siwiHSTEqqdO_whaxiPffHlCXlWr5kDI/s1600/Front+cover.new.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 224px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461920611864761666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0v-6Q7vN1IW-Z3F4Niah1aKVEDXElIcjdFoKfG-3-A74vQWwa95sfWuqt4_AOyQyP-ewaFhyphenhyphenh04HhqZyulETkZonu2ehhVDbZoOwlueOY3V7siwiHSTEqqdO_whaxiPffHlCXlWr5kDI/s320/Front+cover.new.jpg" /></a><br />My media product uses existing conventions in terms of its layout for instance my front cover denotes a close up photo of the main sell which is Fender verses Gibson so shows an image of there two guitars. <div><br /></div><div>This is a conventional practice as on all magazine covers the Main sell will be the background of the cover. But many magazines in the genre are aimed at adults with little focusing on adolescents. For instance the Guitarist magazined shown here it uses neutral colours that do not appeal much to youth and could connote such things as blandness, dullness and just a bit boring for a teenager and it isn't grabbing their attention. </div><div> </div><div>Although there are parts of their magazines aimed at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">beginners</span> that does not essentially mean teenagers. I have aimed my magazine at teenagers as although it is similar to other magazines it challenges the traditional conventions by changing who it is aimed at slightly. For instance Guitarist uses Serif fonts which are mainly used for older and more sophisticated audiences, where as I have used sans serif because I am aiming mine at a younger audience.This makes it stand out as different, as my cover connotes rebellion, power and chaos. </div><div> </div><div>The text in the Guitarist magazine cover is in order and all to one side, where as my cover is spread out and chaotic this also connotes youth like characteristics as they tend not to be organised, and like a lot going on, so this is something they can relate to.</div><div></div>joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17101951385934003834noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679279576810289397.post-90397287790555548122010-03-19T07:50:00.001-07:002010-03-19T07:50:51.510-07:00Finished Double page<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYQBTW8VqX3UvcHG3CnlIrwoW92WXcMRzTtTb16_pBh65A72YKv6A1wmzm45guOVDhT6roYNnEmAj20RVUkNLtCelR97cbs1rBhRpCGUR-2FJ-FPC8kBDpe6TDBaWbVahEXONCRbvC8dQ/s1600-h/Untitled-1.jpg"><img style="float:left;

For instance Rupert Murdoch owns the sun, times, sky, and fox etc. They are organised into owners, or corporations that own them. This means they can represent a scenario in the way they want to, having an effect on the readers. This can be shown demonstraited when looking at the iraq war. Certain news papers showed it as a good thing. But the majority decided it was a bad idea and public opinion went with that. They are also horizontally integrated so can advertise other products using there media influence.<br /><br />How is this evidenced by the ownership/publication of the New Musical Express magazine?<br /><br />IPC is a huge organisation that owns many other magazines and is one of the largest publishing companies in England. It is also owned by another group called Time Inc., the publishing division of Time Warner Inc. So not only dose it own many magazines it is owned by even bigger companies.<br /><br />What are your initial thoughts about the fact that NME is published by ipc media?<br /><br />My initial thoughts are that nearly all magazines are owned by a bigger company so it’s just like all the other magazines, and that it has earned it’s reputation and always been part of this company so it shouldn’t change now. It dose mean that, the key functions are to advertise its sponsors, whether this be through adverts or by showing images of the target audience wearing a brand etc.joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17101951385934003834noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679279576810289397.post-17930145366981603362009-12-11T05:14:00.000-08:002009-12-11T05:21:43.878-08:00Detailed analysis rocksoundGenre:<br />Rock, mainly modern with some older references, mainly big bands with some smaller less well known bands getting a focus aswell.<br /><br />Audience:<br />15 - 25<br /><br />Title:<br />Rock sound, the name tells you exactly what it’s about, for people who like rock music and especially new music as it has the Puff 'new music first'<br /><br />Style:<br />Black, White , Blue , Yellow. These are the main colours used. Layout is the standard strap lines going down the page with a big main sell and photo of the band. The contents page also has a photo of the main sell with white and red text.<br /><br />Content:<br />A big interview with a band, then a few shorter interviews with bands. Top albums of the year, band secrets, advice from rock stars, also a lot of gossip on side project bands and what stars have been up too.<br /><br />Mode of address:<br />It’s very chatty as it is mainly interviews.<br /><br />Photographs:<br />The photos really focus on bands, or solo artists. They are photographed either outside in forests, by lakes, in the streets. Or in doors on sofas, in recording studios, warehouses etc. Either as serious bands that are really dedicated to their music, or as fun loving bands that just want to have a good time.<br /><br />Publisher:<br />Patrick napierjoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17101951385934003834noreply@blogger.com0
