1. Evaluation

3. The title is all in lower case writing which could suggest that it is less formal and that the picture is more important. The central image of the bowl and the background are the same colour which makes the food in the bowl stand out. It’s niche market could be mothers because it says ‘essential cookery course for kids’ The writing in the left side third has simple font and the cover lines are in capitals and then a bit more about it in lower case. Very basic colour has been used (blue, white and red). Example of the conventions of a magazine

5. I think that the pictures are representative of the target audience as they are normal people. The models used are not the conventional glamorous and perfect people that are always portrayed in print media. I think that this challenges the magazines that are already on the market and conveys something new and fresh . The models stance and facial expression show a symbolic code, as she looks carefree and relaxed.

10. How did you address/attract your audience? To attract my audience, I did a survey asking them what they would expect to see. With the results I was able to determine what to include in my magazine. Along with this I also produced prototypes showing them what they could expect. To do this I used survey monkey, which enabled me to generate my own questions and answers. I posted the questionnaire on ‘Facebook’ so that people could answer it. I then displayed the results of the questionnaire on my blog.

12. Methods of technologies used to create my product Adobe InDesign This is the main software I used to create my magazine. Adobe Photoshop I used this programme to manipulate and edit images. Digital Camera I used a digital camera to take all of my images and I made sure they were of high standard of quality. Blog To record my progress and developments, I create a blog. This included pictures and PowerPoint presentations. >>

15. The Front Cover >> Eye catching title and interesting font Information of things inside, draws the reader to want to purchase it. The picture in the star also shows use of special effects Model has an edgy, hard look. Direct eye contact means that it conforms to the rule of thirds Image relates to the genre of music The left hand third includes information on articles and current issues, this is appealing as some information is not revealed and it makes you want to know more The price is clear and visible and has the same colour scheme as the rest of the magazine. This shows continuity The bubble shows development in the use of special effects and the information inside it is persuasive and would be appealing to the target audience

16. Image effect Use of a different model shows a range in style as well as making it look edgy. The shot is a long shot, and it is taken from an angle making it different and interesting Continuity with colours and styles Experimentation with style The Contents Page >>
