Evaluation, Conclusion
How would you rate the overall success of your product; in relation to attracting an audience, creative success and authenicity?
I would say my product has worked well in attracting an audience as it's front cover is very eye catching and it stands out on the shelf with other magazines.
Also the designs i have given the front cover and other pages i have done is very unique but yet keeping with the other music magazines in the same genre.
Evaluation, Question 7
Looking back at your prelimary task what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full
product?
Over the course of doing the prelimary task i feel that i have incresed my skills on photoshop and developed skills on how to use InDesign as i have never used InDesign before but i have touched on Photoshop before briefly in other lessons.
When designing my Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page Spread i had to base it on other magazines to ensure that it looks right and fits in with the music magazines if it was on the shop shelf with others, i had to be creative whilst makeing them and i wanted them to stand out as well.
My final Front Cover compared to the preliminary task i would say are the same basic idea but i have changed them slightly so that they show improvement.
Evaluation, Question 5
How did you attract/ adress your audience ?
Jess- I was attracted to the image on the front cover of "Paige" it is very dynamic and shows the style of the magazine well.
Amy- I like the way you have done the title of the magazine on the front cover, i think it stands out from others which caught my attention as i was looking at the selection.
Beka- I found the way you done the cover lines interesting as you used different sized fonts and different colours for different parts of the same cover line, it made your magazine look good as the colours you used went well with the theme of the magazine as some of the extra colours were complementary colours.
They answered the question well as they told me what caught their attention on the front cover which made them pick up my magazine. This is good so i know what is standing out and i can work on the things they didn't say to make them better so my magazine is all around popping out at peoples faces making them want to read my magazine.
In my magazine people would be interested in to read it as it tells you all about the new artist who have just came out from no where and made a huge hit, also it will tell you about the new fashions, what the biggest artists are wearing and where you can buy one like it or the same. This is useful tp the public because people idolise there stars and look up to them and base their lives on these people so they might want to dress like them as well, so we are giving them the information of where and how they can do this.
If i compare my audience to the audience of billboard magazine i would hope that they are the same as i have based my magazine on theres and i hope you can see this, as the title is on the same base lines and so are the cover lines and also the picture. This is useful so that if my magazine is like "Billborads" magazine then my audience should be the same as theres as i have aimed my target audience at there actual audience.

Evaluation, Question 2 - Audio Recording, SCRIPT
Script
Q2. How does your media product Represent particular social groups?
-The photos that i have used represent men and women because of the way i have asked my model to pose, you can see that only a girl would do these poses. i would not ask a man to bend over and cover his mouth up in a cheeky shocked pose. The text that i have used also shows which gender my magazine is aimed at, you can see this by the way that i have worded my double page spread, i have worded it the way a woman would want to read it.
-The photos that i have used would appeal more to younger people as i have dressed my models in short and revealing dresses, i have done this so it can relate to people in everyday life because people don't go out to concerts in trackies wellies and hoodies with scarf and a hat. I feel that older people would not appreciate this because they feel girls should be more modest and not wear clothes that are so revealing because older people feel it is better to leave what you can't see to the imagination.
-My magazine has a wide range of audience and i have made it so you can read it no matter what religion or sexuality. How ever if you are from a different nationality it may be difficult for you to read the magazine as the main person in the magazine "Paige Gibbons" because her section in the magazine is all in English and all of her songs will be as well.
-The genre of my magazine is shown well because of how i have laid it out and i have used models are dressed in the way i wanted them to, this reflects the genre they are for. Also the colours and font that i have used are very pop styled, so they also reflect the genre of my magazine.
-In my magazine i have used mostly girls for my photo's and images because they are easier to get the models because i do dancing and there are mostly girls there, that's where i met and found Paige. I asked her to be my model for the magazine and she was more than happy to say yes, if i asked one of my boy mates to do it they would go all shy and not want to do it.

Evaluation, Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
The skills i have learnt from the project on photography is what to have the model wearing, where they should be standing, if i need a shadow or the lighting of where they are standing. These are all valuable points that i need to take into consideration as they could make or break the photo, because the colours of the clouthes could wash out your skin colouring or if you stand in the wrong place you can't change the background to whatever you want.
The skills i learnt whilst i was using photoshop i learnt how to cut out a person and not having the background so you can place them anywhere and not take the background aswell. Also on InDesign i used the guide lines which helped with my layout out on my double page so it looks neater and more proffessional.
The tricky challege's that i had to over come was that i didn't have the text that i wanted so i had go on to the internet and download a text that i used. Another problem which i found whilst making my contents pages was that i needed to decide how many photo's to have on it, i wanted a main one but i didn't know how many small ones to have around it or next to it, to decide i looked at other magazine contents pages and based mine on them.
The technologies which i used for this was the macs with photoshop, Indesign and Illistrator. Also i used my camera to take the photo's which i used for the magazine, i used the computers to chose which photo's were appropriate and which ones were not right for the style of the magazine.

Jills Opinion, Double Page Spread
Jills Opinion, Double Page Spread
"Your double page spread is very good, i feel it is like this because you based it around a template and din't just go ahead and try make one on your own"
"Also on your double page spread i like the writing i think it is very formal yet pop like as you have made it stretch to the edges of the box with out distorting the letters"
"I think one thing that you could improve on with your double page spread would be matching the colours to the front cover and contents page so you will have the same colour scheme going through the whole magazine, other wise the page looks kind of random and it doesn't flow with the rest of the magazine"
Jess's Opinion, Double Page Spread
Jess's Opinion, Double Page Spread
"The double page spread is good and effective, it has a very professional look about it. I like the way the title and head line are so different"
"I also like the pictures and where they have been put also the way that they have been used. The big photo is very sophisticated and the smaller ones look like she is just having fun which is good as it makes it look like she doesn't have a bad side to her"
"I don't like the text on this double page spread, I feel it is very minimalist and i think that there should be more"

Beka's Opinion, Double Page Spread
"I like the title 'SWEET' and 'LETS DO THIS', because it's quite original and looks effective as it has been placed behind her head. It is also effect because the words are in different fonts"
"I feel the images that have been used are very strong, and they also suit the pop genre which you were basing your magazine on. I think the use of different images by the headline stands out really well, and gives a quirky and interesting feel to the spreadsheet. It also shows the attitude and character of Paige."
"I do not think that the 'Pop Princess Paige' line looks as effective as it should be, and I think you could achieve to make it look stronger by making it bold and maybe a larger font, so it stands out better"

"On your contents page i like the way you have laid it out, it is easy to read and it is also easy to find your way around"
"I also like the bottom part of the contents page where you have placed the editors letter, this part looks very formal"
"I think it would be better if you change the numbers for the page music through the ages and put a back ground behind them so they stand out more"
Jess's Opinion, Contents Page
Jess's Opinion, Contents Page
"I like how the colour scheme matches the front cover and the contents page, if you saw them separately you can see that they are from the same magazines"
"I also like how you have laid out the pictures so that there is a main one and that there is smaller ones going down the centre of the page, it makes the page look less formal and more of a casual magazine"
"I don't like however the way that the boxes that out line the page i think it is a waste of space"

Katy started to email Paige because Katy thought Paige had talent, it turns out she knows what she's talking about!
