This is a slideshow about my ideal reader. It explains what I would like them to be like and they type of person they are. This would be the best for how I have structured my magazine.

Institution

This is a slide show about the institution that produce NME, a music magazine. This is talking about how often they produce the mgazines and why. Also, what else they do to keep people interested.

Audience

I Researched into the purpose of a music magazine for the audiences and why they are produced. I need this to look at my magazine ideas as i need to know what the purpose of my magazine is.

Conventions of Music Magazines.

This is the general codes and conventions of music magazines. I did some research into what is meant to be and what is generally on the front covers of magazines and why. This has helped me to see what I need to lay my magazine out like to look successful.

My Music Magazine Survey

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey , the world's leading questionnaire tool.
I made this so I could research into what types of music magazines people would like. This is finding out the customer wants and needs so I can adjust my magazine to them and therefore it will be more popular.

Representation of Indie Music

This is a prezi about the representation of Indie music and atrists. I talk about how Indie artists dress and style themselves. This is helpful because I can refere to it for when I am styling my models for my photoshoots as I am doing an indie magazine.

Research of 3 Double Page Spreads

I analysed some double page spreads. This gave me an idea of what I want to do with my own magazine when I have to start making designs. I looked at differnt styles to see what flows and what is easy to read, also what grabs the readers attention. All of this has to be taken into concideration for my own magazine. I didnt like the first article I analysed as it was too small and I feel mine has to have a lot of information to look detailed and busy. Also the photos werent layed out very well. However I wont do one like the last double spread (arctic monkeys) as I dont feel it has enough information on it, although it does get the readers attention.

Research of 3 Contents Pages

My analysis of contents pages helped me to see what i needed on mine. I looked at different lay outs and genres of music and how this influenced how the contents page was set out. This had helped me because I can use some ideas to put into my magazine and imporve it when I start to make some designs. I tried to chose 3 different styles of contents pages because it gave me more to write about and gave me an insight to different types for different audiences.

Reasearch of 3 Music Front covers

This is my evaluation of existing music magazine front covers. I did this because it helps me look into detail at why certain things are there and what magazines generally have. I also now know what appeals to certain audiences and that the colours, pose and clothing of the artist matters and resembles their music style. So I can use this evaluation to look at my magazine when I make it to improve it as much as I can. and i can also take insperation for my own designs.

Evaluation Of Previous Students Blog

By looking at Chelsea's blog I can now see what a successful blog has and what I need to do to get a good grade. Also, I can now see what Sir and the examiner is looking for as I haven't done media before so havent had a blog to update. Furthermore I see how much work goes into a blog.
