From making these magazine covers, contents and double page spread I have learnt a great deal about Layout designs through Photoshop and InDesign

Contact Sheet for Double Page Spread.

I wanted my model for my double page spread to have more a serious expression compared to my front cover page. My inspiration for this came from a double page spread from Marie Claire about Leighton Meester:

Font Changes.

Example:

The font that I chose for my front cover is: Bakery. I chose this one because it was quite modern yet it had a little bit of sophistication to it. I felt like this typeface represent the style of my magazine well.

Question 3: Use the internet and your initial magazine research to select one or two examples of media publishing companies that could print and distribute your magazine.

Contact sheet for front cover photoshoot

For my front cover, I wanted my model to show an expression of shock/surprise to mimic the content that is inside the magazine and a few 'non-surprise' photos as well. Once it came to editing, I lightened the photo using Brightness and Contrast, Lab Colour and Levels.

Question 6: What have you learnt about new technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?

All types of media products mould their decisions on content and design in order to suit their desired audience. In order to do this, demographics and VALs (psychographics) are used to determine who their audience is and gain as much knowledge of them as possible and therefore are able to shape their products content and design in order to suit their audience (i.e. if it is shown that a magazine is starting to attract an older audience they may start to write their articles in a more formal style).

I used demographics and VALs (psychographics) to produce a readership profile similar to NME as part of planning, so that way I could also understand my target audience.

The majority of my audience is female and are between the young adult to adult category, and they fall into the Strivers and Innovators category.
