Indie/Rock magazines.
How did you attract your audience?
Issue Theme: This certain issue had a theme of ‘Girl Power’ this statement will draw girls to read
this specific issue.
Fonts: Bold fonts have been used to attract the attention of the
audience.
Main Image: The main image on the front cover encodes the Indie Rock genre through the costume, body language, facial expressions
and make-up.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
For my preliminary task I used the program windows publisher to
create it.
The image is dominate and is used as the background
also.
The fonts used on this task are very simple due the
restrictions of the program used.
The theme of this magazine is based to be sold in a
school and is a new years issue.
My Final views of my work and journey in production…
I feel as if I have achieved much more knowledge of the program used,
Photoshop.
I feel as if I have accomplished enough research to produce a good piece of
coursework, and have learnt a lot about the media institutions in this market.
I feel as if I have done enough research in the Indie Genre and I have used the codes
and conventions effectively.
If I was given the opportunity to develop this magazine any further, I would develop
into a media institution like current magazines for example NME.
Overall I feel as if I have worked to my full potential in this coursework and have produced a piece of work at a good
standard.
The End.
