Question 7

I feel that i have learnt a lot form my preliminary task, to my end full product. I have learnt how to keep better time management and that i must stick to deadlines to get the work done on time. I have also learnt how to use software that will help me more, such as fireworks. Without this i wouldn't have been able to edit my photos as well as i did and this would have been a huge set back. I have come across more problems with my main task, such as text box problems with publisher, but i have tried my best to overcome these problems. I also feel that i have placed this magazine together a lot better than i did with my preliminary task and this has helped to create a better magazine. I also found it more fun than the preliminary task as i felt that it was more down to you, which left it to your own Independence.

Question 6

Question 5

Question 4

I attracted my audience by finding out information from my research. i conducted research through questionnaires and informal focus groups. This gave me an understanding of what my audience expected in my magazine. I used open and closed questions on my questionnaire which helped to produce quantitative and qualitative data results. I then used these results to link back to my audience requests throughout the making of the magazine. However i did change some of the requests as i wanted to challenge the conventions. For example i didn't use a direct mode of address because i wanted to see the response rate received when i didn't use it, too see if a direct mode of address made a difference to the sales. However the photos still attract the reader even though a link through the artist and reader isn't made. I used colours that i knew would attract my reader as i gained it from my research and this then helped to draw in the correct target audience. The choice of language that i used also showed that my magazine wasn't too formal but not too informal.

Question 3

My music magazine is aimed at younger people mainly. The target group was 16 to 25 as they were the biggest age of music fans around. I feel that it is more acceptable for people older than this age, than younger than this age, as they can link to it more. I feel that my music magazine is aimed at the middle class because the language used is not too informal and suits the middle class audience better than the higher or lower class. It was originally aimed at university students so it should be sold at a lower cost, and this still reaches the middle class. The artists inside will display new and old artists and this is what i found out that my target audience would like when i looked at my research.

Question 2

My music magazine is aimed at male and female fans. It is specifically targeted at indie fans, hence the name of the magazine but it will also contain music artists from other genres on occasions. It is aimed at more of a young target audience than an older one, as my target audience is 16 - 25. However, i feel that it can be acceptable for people younger or older than this.

Question 1

I decided to call my magazine Indie-Go because it relates well to the type of genre. I used these first three different styles to start with but then i decided that i wasn't so keen on the style so i used some different fonts and colours to compare, before asking my target audience which one they liked best.
