Original Photographs

These are the un-edited versions of the pictures I took for my magazine

Hearing Damage Contents Page Evaluation

I have brought in the caution tape from my front cover as my double page spread is supposed to pose as the dangerous zone. I have included the usual subheadings features, feedback, news, album/film reviews. I didn't to include any more than four subheadings because I think that it would be more than is needed especially as under the subheadings are what's actually found inside. I have included an editors note like many other magazines and up the left hand side in the bottom left hand corner I have given photographer credit. I have stuck to the same font for the larger text on my contents page but for the smaller writing I used a softer looking font. Again I only used three images because I didn't want to use less than what I had used on the front cover, but I did not wish to have more than I would be using on my double page spread.

Interview Research

In order to make the interview for my double page spread appropriate, I looked up some interviews with the kind of bands who would be featured in my magazine so I would know what knid of questions are asked and what kind of mood there is during the interview.

Here are a few sites I found the interviews on.

My Music Magazine Audience Moodboard

This is my audience music magazine moodboard. They are individuals who can be considered 'emo' or 'scene' because of their clothing style e.g Skinny jeans, dark make-up, volumized hair, body piercings ect. They like to buy expensive things and wear things that will be different to everyone else so they stand out such as the Vans with the watermelon design on them.

They'll have either very dark or very vibrantly coloured hair and like to eat and drink sweet things hence the picture of the lollipops and the starbucks, also the brand names they buy from have to be well known so people know that they have a lot of money.

My target audience will have an online blog so they can express themselves to the world with pictures or just post what they're feeling on websites such as 'tumblr.' They like to watch animated cartoons because the way the characters have been designed captures their attention and entice them into buying books and t-shirts with these characters on them.

Magazine Contents Page Analysis

This contents page is aimed at a more mature, male audience age around twenty two to twenty eight, probably single and are at a working class of C2 or C1, mostly aspirers and a few succeeders. The contents page has three main colours, red; white and black, and the most vibrant colour is the red which makes it not too over powering but there's still a good block of colour there. It has 2 subheadings features and regulars which then are broken down into smaller categories to make finding the section of the magazine the audience wants to read simple. There are six pictures used on here, and the main one is to reinforce the title Drummer, and also so does the picture to the right of the title of the drum kit. There are page numbers in the top left hand corner of the pictures to indicate where they will be found which is a useful feature. Right at the top in the left hand corner is the date that the magazine was released which also is helpful as the audience is able to know how long there is left until the next issue will be released.

Big Cheese Contents Page Analysis

This contents page from the magazine 'Big Cheese' is aimed at an older audience aged seventeen to twenty one, you can tell this by the language being used such as the cuss words. It leans more toward a male audience because the colours are all dull that have been used on this page, red; black and white, and due to the age the target audience are probably all single, and class C2 individuals. The four pictures which have been used are to reinforce what the text is saying, to give a kind of 'sneak peak' at what the magazine will contain. It has one of the usual subheadings which is Regulars and the others are obviously changed in each issue. The pages have been separated by different coloured backgrounds which could mean they are all in the same category.

Top of the Pops Double Page Spread

This is a double page spread fromt he magazine 'Top of the Pops' which is aimed at an audience of young female teens, they would probably be D class and are mostly individuals but there may be some aspirers too. The article on this double page spread is an interview about a movie with the main characters. The magazine uses 5 different colours, red;; pink; yellow; black and white, they have picked these bright colours because it seems to refer to imaginative things and the audience are young imaginative people. There are six images on the double page spread, but only one is quite a large scale so these do not take up too much room but there are just enough to keep the audience's attention. The title is in bright bold colouring and the font being used changes when it reaches the movie title to make it more pronounced. Across the bottom are a few of the characters and in the text boxes is an explanation of the character, who the actor playing the character is and what the character is like.
