For the past few lessons I have been working on my audience uses and gratifications', my music magazine survey, my music magazine proposal, existing magazine names, existing magazine mastheads, and analysing my music magazine survey results.
The audience uses and gratifications 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.
My music magazine survey will provide me with quantitive and qualitative data, which will help with completing the design for my magazine as I will be able to see exactly what my target audience want, and from this I can determine what to include in my magazine.
My music magazine proposal will act as a template for when I am actually creating my magazine and will be useful as it has all of my original ideas that I can develop over time. I am happy with the current standard of my proposal but I will most likely alter it and make changes as I progress throughout the course.
The existing magazine names helped me think of ideas for what to make my magazine masthead look like. It gave me ideas for colour schemes, and I found that red was an extremely popular colour for creating magazine mastheads as it is bright and bold. I also got inspiration for different texts and layouts and saw what ones worked best for the styles of magazine. This will become useful when designing the masthead of my magazine.
The existing magazine mastheads helped me think of ideas for what to name my magazine. It gave me ideas such as having a single bold letter, a play on words or a classic title. It is useful to get inspiration on the title of the magazine as you can see what titles are already in the market.
Analysing my music magazine survey helped me to decide what I will include in my magazine. It allowed me to see what my audience would like in my magazine and I will refer to this when making my final product.
I believe I did all of this work to a high standard and that it will all be very useful in creating my final magazine.
