Product Style Profile In this post i am going to be creating sketches to create a plan to help me form my final product. It is important to sketch and plan as it will help me make decisions on what my final product will and won't include and what media conventions i will include. It will also help reduce mistakes and remakes as i will already have an idea of how my final media product will look. Sketches influence my stylistic decisions as i can make multiple attempts on designing my front covers, therefore i wont rush my design and it will meet the expected conventions on my media product. It will also help me design the style of my media product and create my final media product.                                                                                      ...

My Mood Board I have chosen to magazine brief in which i have to create one front cover and contents pages of the first two editions of a new entertainment magazine for Hearst. I require at least a state of intent (500 words),  Entertainment magazine front covers and contents pages (two or three pages for each), a magazine distribution method, one homepage and one linked page for a website and to appeal to a cross media production target audience (16-25).  In this task i am going to be exploring the different types of images, fonts and colour to use to create and construct my magazine front pages and contents pages. By creating this mood board i will learn new creative ways in how to present my magazine. I will also be looking at different connotations and considering how they will effect my target audience.

My Audience My questionnaire: surveymonkey.com/r/W8CBYPF My questionnaire results: https://www.surveymonkey.com/analyze/WVWMc8Ic_2Fd_2B3BNLv7gY0mrAxxj0L2drV8trerbORJ1c_3D?tab_clicked=1 Analysing my results From question 4 (What would you expect to see in an entertainment magazine?) I found out that my target audience would expect and want my magazine to be based on film and celebrities. This will help me identify what i should include in my magazine and what my will appeal to my target audience. This will help me form my front covers and contents page in which i will include a film star or a celebrity.  From question 8 (What type of article are you most likely to read?) I found out that my audience would prefer if my magazine included upcoming celebrities rather than celebrities who have already established themselves. This allows me to form my front cover and part of my contents page as I will be using an upcoming celebrity which allows me to appeal to ...

Producers Research In this post i am going to be carrying out research on a range of media practitioners that link to my chosen brief (magazine). I need to compare the similarity and differences between the magazines that have been created by each company.  I believe that by understanding the photographers who link to magazine front covers and pictures, will enable me to produce a media text that follows and reflects their style more effectively. MAIN TASK To conclude, i will incorporate the techniques on the front colour of my magazine which have been used by my chosen photographers. I will be using high contrast black and white and also high contrast bright colours as they are significant techniques that i have found and researched. This will enable me to produce a media text that follows my chosen photographers technique and styles more effectively because i have researched and created a powerpoint on my findings.
