Business Model Q Institution

This is my powerpoint of my business model for Q magazine, using the text from the Soundcloud below, with the explanation of Bauer Media's institution. This will help me when creating my magazine as I have a good knowledge of what media house I'd like to publish my magazine. In researching the publishing house, I was able to see the styles and layouts that the magazines they publish have and this will influence the styling of my own magazine to adhere to their conventions.

Production Log - Lesson 10

Representation of the Indie Genre

This is my analysis of the representation of the Indie Genre. I chose to analyse the Indie genre because I think it is a broad yet very versitile and interesting genre to do and I like listening to the music from those types of artists as well as following the fashions. This made it easy to understand the representations of that genre as I am fairly familiar with it already. I believe in being familiar with the representations and putting them into more detail will help me in chosing my magazine style and the content for it as it will be highly based on the representations of that genre.

Audience Uses and Gratifications

This is my analysis on the uses and gratifications of an audience. Here I have outlined a basic explanation of what each of the uses and gratifications mean and how they are used in selling magazines. This will help me in creating my final magazine as I will understand how my audience will want to use my magazine and what ways I can enable these uses within the content and look of my magazine.

Codes and Conventions of Magazines

Here is my codes and conventions of magazines. These are the things you would typically see in every magazine, however I have made it slightly more specific to music magazines. I believe in identifying these codes and conventions, it will help me to complete and design my magazine to the correct standard and also typical conventions that magazines have.

Production Log - Lesson 9

In today's lesson I finished my article analysis. I did it in great detail, similar to my front cover and contents page asnalysis as I wanted to enable myself the best possible information of how magazines work and how they can be picked a part. I did this so that I can use this analysis to help me think deeply about how I make my magazine and what features I want to include, as well as how I want everything to be represented. For next lesson I would have completed a codes and conventions prezzi of Music Magazines which will also help me for creating my magazine in the future as I will recognise what are typical to music magazines.

Research of Similar Product Material - Double Page Article Spreads

Here is my analysis of similar magazine articles and double page spreads in music magazines. The articles I chose are all very different in style and so they helped me see the different styles of magazines and also the genre of magazine that there are. I wanted to chose a variety of magazines so that I could gauge some variety and pick what style I liked the most. I believe this will help me in chosing the design for the article in my magazine and also the kind of artists I want to include.

Production Log - Lesson 8

In todays lesson I analysed similar product material in the form of contents pages. I made sure I did this in lots of fetail as I am aware that this will help me when creating my contents page for my own magazine. It gave me some inspiration as to what I would like my magazine contents page to look like, for example, what kind of layout and style I would want. The contents page that I most liked was Q so I will most likely style my magazine around Q's layout as I think it looks professional without stopping it from looking cool and slick at the same time. Next lesson I shall be analysing some more similar product material in the form of double page article spreads for magazines such as Q and NME.

Research of Similar Product Material - Contents Pages

This is my analysis of similar magazine contents pages to the style of magazine I want to make for example I have chosen contents pages from Q, Kerrang and NME. This helped me see the different styles and layouts of contents pages; which gave me inspiration for the kind of style and structure I want on mine. I believe this will help me in chosing the design for the contents page and the types of article headings and house styles I will include.
