CONTENCE FINISH

Contence Page Steps

I first added a title to the page, I used the the same font as I did for my mast head as a sense of 

conuity to the magazine as well as centering it so its one of the mane focal points.

I then added the images. I have again used frames for these photo as i belive it looks better. 

The last step was to add the text and page references. I used the American Typewriter font to do this 

and continued to use the same colours as my colour scheme 

finish product

DPS steps

To start the prosses I added the artical headline, this was done in the American Type Writer 

font in a large size, so it stands out. 

I then added the photos to my dps pages. I did this using the idea layout plan I did before 

creating any of the steeps. 

The last step was to layer and add the text from the gig review I wrote. 

The final front cover

Time managment

Im back on track (yay),

Although I was a week behind on creating my Front cover I have managed to catch up and I have now finished and my contences page is nearly there. Wich puts me where I have planed to be.

front cover prosses

Today I have created puffs for my magazine, I wanted them to stand and catch the persons eye so i have made them look a little like sickey notes and added an effect to make them look almost 3D.

 

I then went to to added cover lines and splashes to the mazine;

My double Page spread article

Ed Sheeran is one of the most popular acoustic artists around. With his
début album '+' still selling around the world and holding a place in
the UK top 40 after a year, we thought it was about time we saw him live.


We arrived to a packed house at The Forum (HMV venue) in Kentish Town,
London. Not the best live music venue in the capital. Auditorium style
seating makes you feel you are about to hear a lecture on the big bang
theory from some mad scientist instead of going out to dance in the
aisles with friends and leaving with that happy glow only the best of
music can give you.


Our crew were surprised by the mixed crowd. We all clearly expected a
group of teenage girls screaming at the top of their voices in skinny
jeans and high heeled shoes.


But to our surprise there was only a small number of obsessed giggling
young females alongside hard core fans and gig goers with a love for his
talent. No matter which genre they fell into – each and every member of
the audience were all loud and eager to see the red head and knew every
word and note to each and every song.


Dressed casually in baggy faded jeans, a black T shirt with Nike
high-tops, Sheeran was not a striking figure. But once he started
strumming his small size Martin & Co acoustic guitar the red head became
immense.


He didn't have much difficulty introducing his backing band during his
sold-out performance as there wasn't one, just little old Ed on a
acoustic guitar singing how it should be with his loop pedal and the
audience – or 'the gospel choir' as he calls them.


During one part of the performance he dropped all his electrical
equipment and performed a old Irish folk song totally Acapella. Not a
difficult task for Sheeran who was taken to pubs as an 11-year-old where
he stood on the bar and was told to perform traditional Irish numbers.

Sheeran then went on to perform a truly deep song in which the audience
were amazed by. Asking them to be silent after his song 'you need me'
which they were involved in was a hard task for the Rupert Grint
look-alike, but he eventually got around to it and preformed the song
'small bump'.


The talented singer songwriter later explained to the audience the
meaning behind the song. A friend losing a child and the hard time they
all experienced. It is truly remarkable to be able to write and perform
a song from that prospective.


I had heard in a previous interview with Sheeran that he only ever
writes about personal experiences or something that he has witnessed or
become involved in.


Ed Sheeran is a true song writer who we like here at SSW and if you must
do one thing in 2013 make sure you see him live.

front covr prosses

 
Today I have been righting aproprate head lines and adding them to the front cover.

I have also added photos to go with the headlines and edit them to make them look like polorides a little like the used in a magazine I analised. (Although there are two photos of Elllie, the finished front cover wont have this but a a diffrent photo of another person. I did this to show what it would look like).

Front cover prosses (2)

In the second half of the lesson I created a barcode using defont and put on a price of £2 as its what my focus group thought was best. All though the date is usualy near the barcode in the corner in most music magazine i have desided to put it underneath the byline as i feel it looks better, however I have kept the barcode and price in the same place.
It was then time to add my photo to do this i had hold down shift as if i didn the photo would go all picsaleded.

Evaluation

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Before I started to create a student magazine front cover and contents page I did some reasearch. I got to see what the different magazines did to atracted students to buy it. I got to see what masthehead head, headlines, coverlines, colour schemes, puff's and other house styles was use. This was a helpful because I now knew the things that  needed to stay the same in my magazine, such as the 3 colour, colour scheme. It also gave me ideas on what topics would be suitable to include in my magazine, ones that were aprote for the gonra and the age range. However the magazines were dated and alot of the topics being discus would no longer be at intrest to my audence. So this was changed for exmaple one magazine I looked at was discusing the iphone 3gs and they have now brought out the 5 so this is what i chose to include in my magazine. As well as the magazine's being for a larger age range and aiming them a a wider audience, colleges and universitys all over the uk. Where as mine is based around 16-19 year old who study at Ludlow college.

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My magazine is based around student knowlage. I am a student so i have tried to create the magazine as how i would want it to be if i was the consumer. As well as using the student research. This help me determine what people would want from the magazine in genral, as well as getting 3 diffrent people's opnions, making a reilibel outcome. Such as my colour scheme is white, purple and orange. Because I liked the option of the orange and pink and so did Ellie in the video responce however Ryan and Amy didnt and both chose a option that include black so this was added, the black also stud out more when on the magazine. The way my magazine looked was also very import as it the way it atracks people. So by putting a photo of a ludlow student on the front cover of the cover magazine represents that it for students of ludlow college, making it a more personal experence for them. I also took a range of different photos for the context page to reflect what your expected to find within the magazine. As well as atracting you to read on.
3.What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
When i was analyzing 2 magazines which was aimed at the student catogary i noticed some of the things they have contain the same elements in which I have included. There for I think my magazine would be best suited for college students, however it would be disributed to students in my college in poticular as the context i chose to write about and inclued is whats happening there.

4.Who would be the audience for your media product?
My magazine would be aimed at 16 to 19 year olds. As that is the college age rage and they are the how are most likey to want to read it. However it terms of infomation the magazine can also be amed on a much wider scale as tutors may want to find out what is happening or keep up to date with there students by knowing who and whats populat at the moment.

5.How did you attract/address your audience?
My magazine uses a range of technques and ways to atract the audence one of these is the brand identy with in the masthead. Which is blod and unusal to atrack peoples eye. As well as using many other housestyles which have been layout neatly and clearly to create a proffesinal vibe to the magazine. As well as the contenus font, colour  and size with in the context page. In contrast to this the price has been put in a larger and diffrent font (chalk duster) to the rest as I wanted this to stand out and atracting people toward the magazine  as it is a reasonably cheap price. I have also used informal langue so the magazine has been made personal to them and its like the magazine is talking to them as the reader.

6.What have you learn't about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have leart alot from creating this student magazine. Expessialy in terms of the computer software we used called adobe in design. For example before i did this I didnt know that every time I want to add someting to the project I have to add a new layer. As well as many more things that I know think of as symple. As well as the computer technolgy I have also leart some great technequins when taking photograph's such as the lighting, camara angles and facial expresions. This is also my first time on blogger which i have found great during the prosses as its easy acsses. As well as being easy to use.

Introduction To Brief

The brief requires me to design a front cover of a magazine. In order to do this it has to have an audience which is to be college or school students. Key thing’s it must feature is a photograph of a student/students I have taken myself, appropriate text for the genre and a masthead. I shall be using a DTP and image manipulation programs in order to create the front cover. As well as updating this blog regularly to record my progress.
