evaluation question 1



1.The title of the magazine- the title of the magazine is the pulse i selected this because it is the first thing that came to mind and its catchy.
2.mise-en-scene of image- the person is looking dow towards his guitar and he is posing as if he was playing a gig
3.costumes and props- i took this photo at a friends gig he is dressed in tight black clothes and he has got a guitar
4.people- i used a lot of people i know to feature in my magazine this photo was taken at newcastle collage
5.title and font style- i chose this font style because i thought it was eye catching  and it also fit well with the colours i used for the other text in the magazine
6.written content- i wrote a interterview with the band members and i also done a question and answer with the band too.
7.music genre and how my magazine represents it-my  magazine represents the rock genre because the person in the image looks like the stereo type person to listen to rock and the colours are very dark and the font is sharp.
8.layout- i made sure not to cover any imortant parts of images and i put  the font and images in appropriate places
9.contents page-i have desinged the contents page just with information on whats inside of the magazone no subscriptions or advertisements because this is what i believe that people who listen to rock music just want to get straight t the point and find out where all of the important articles are.



evaluation question 2

my main image is very similar to this main image from rock sound magazine, i choose this pose for my main image because it looks as if the band member is looking towards the sky as if he is looking directly at God and had the light shine down towards his face i thought this would show that the band has a God-like appearance.this photo represents people who listen to rock music because the person in it fits the stereotype for people who listen to rock music which is long hair with dark tight clothes.

evaluation question 3

i would choose EMAP as the institution which will distribute my product because they have experience with
rock magazines they publish magazines such as Q! kerrang and also mojo, they have been in business since the 40's so i trust that with their experience over the year and with my genre of music emap is the best choice.

evaluation question 4

my target audience for my magazine is people who listen to rock music the people who normally listen to rock music are teenagers, goths and emos they are the people who can relate to the whole rock genre and normally wear black clothes and are 'depressed' a lot of people listen to rock music the goths and emos are just the stereotype rock music lover any one can like rock music. 

evaluation question 5

I attracted my audience by making the colours in my magazine quite dark and my main image was in black and white with the lead singer of the band with his guitar, you can tell just by looking at my magazine that it is a rock magazine and i have also put sell lines with popular rock bands on to attract my audience, i think my magazine is similar to kerrang magazine because of their distinctive rock style

evaluation question 6

i have learned a lot about photo shop since i started doing my coursework, i have learned that you can edit a image that you have taken yourself and turn it into something that looks professionally done.thisis what i done in my course work i took my images with a digital camera and editedthem on photo shop usein the lasso tool and the magic wand tool at the start of the coursework i was a complete novice on photo shop i am now confident that i can use it well.

evaluation question 7

From my preliminary task to completing my main product i feel like i have learned a lot. i have learned that a magazine has to choose a theme for there target audience and stick to it in my primarily task i just put random fonts and colours that i thought looked good now i know that everything in the magazine from the font to the main image show relivate to what kind of magazine it is, my magazine is a rock magazine so all of the colours where dark and the font was sharp.i also learned about the different types of poses in my preliminary task i just took a general photo and the collage and a photo of me standing outside a classroom and in my main product my main image was the lead singer of the band is looking up and swishing his hair which i think is a good effect to the image. i have also learned about the layout of the magazine i now know that the main image has to be one of the main selling points of the magazine and should draw people in and also that my sell lines shouldnt block any part of my main imag.
