My audience would be attracted by the use of bright colours on the

front of my music magazine such as red and blue these colours

were chosen for the purpose of standing out

and making the magazine appear vibrant

to the audience. The convention use of a large

masthead title and interactive picture would

also help attract my audience. The main artist

picture present on the front of my music

magazine makes direct eye contact with the

reader.

I took the photo this way and decided to use it in the magazine as

it would be a form of direct address. This is aimed to entice the

audience into exploring the magazine. As the artist is featured,

interviewed and is new to the scene, it would appeal to fans of the magazine and the genre. My audience would also be attracted by other features in the magazine.

For example there are competitions that the readers can enter that

could result in them winning prizes, trips and concert tickets of their favourite artists. These features

were added in order to boost the audience desire of the magazine.

A vibrant background was used to help the overall appeal of this magazine.

the contents contains many

Features such as reviews,

Stories and competitions.

i used many of the toolsavailable on the software, and mainly used the paint tools to create effects. Such as the ones on my double page spread.

I used many different programmes to carry out this task. To create my music magazine front cover, double page spread and contents page I used adobe Photoshop. There are many different tools available to use on adobe Photoshop, many of which aided me in the production of my music magazine as a whole. Adobe Photoshop was also easy to navigate. I also used Photoshop to create my audience profile, and artist profile.

• I used google chrome in order to carry out research for the task and to obtain any materials I may have needed.

• I used Microsoft PowerPoint to create slideshows. These slides mainly contained analysis and research of many different magazines. The slides contained magazines that were real and also some contained media production magazines.

Microsoft word was

used for my artist

research. This was

focused on

Alexandra burke

and lady Gaga. I also

used word to create

my artist interview

which would later

be used on my

double page spread.

Word was used to

produce my artist

profile paragraph

which gave a brief

overview of my

artist as a whole.
