Analysing Preliminary Task

Looking at my front page and contents page, I can see several things that make my school magazine  stand out from the rest.

The font for the text and masthead is quite large and significant, making it stand out amongst other magazines and gives it a unique feel. Purple is the main colour used throughout, a colour that appeals to both genders in a way. Both pages are also nicely detailed, with plenty of features included on both pages and so interesting people with a love of information. Finally, the pictures shown of the school buildings appeal to students and staff alike as the school may get publicity from this publication.

NOTE: I will have to post work from before tomorrow as I have not been able to save them as jpegs. Apologies if there is some delays in posting.

Music Magazine Font Choice

This is the font choice picked for the magazine. Specific details on it are included.
NOTE: Apologies for what looks like 'ike' in the third paragraph - the word should be 'like'.

Contents Page

Posted is the contents page for my school magazine. Please comment on its appearance - I will possibly take the advice and try to improve it.

Target Audience Profile

Posted is the target audience profile for my music magazine. Please comment on what you think about it, and possible improvements.

EDIT: This target audience profile helps to identify what my target audience should be most interested in. This also signifies who should be reading my music magazine.

Title Page of Magazine

Posted is the title page of my school magazine which I will use for the preliminary task. Please comment as to whether it looks appealing or not.

Photos for Magazine

Posted here are the photographs I took of the school in order to help with the preliminary task.

I took these on Friday 29th October.

The sun is used in all pictures in order to bring importance to the images and make certain features stand out, and all shots are outside to bring added ambience to the photos. Look at the captions for more detailed evaluations.

Grassy Area with stones
A medium long shot, the stones may represent pedastals, or symbols - stepping stones of knowledge and profound thoughts about the world.

Outside of Assembly Hall
A medium long shot, requires cropping in order to make sure only the building is in shot, the plain background of the building may symbolize a look back to the beginning of the world,and how buildings were constructed.

Side of school
A view of the windows is seen here, maybe providing a window to what happens inside the school. I thought that standing to the side enhances the effect because it is like reflecting on the past, and what the school has become.

Front of school
Standing proudly in front of the school, the entrance mayhap serves as a beacon of the future, and may aspire people to ascertain key values in the school. 

Masthead Research

Posted here is my work on researching various mastheads for several magazines. We did this to identify what target audience each magazine would appeal to. I hope this information proves useful.
