Audience Survey for my Magazine

Create your own user feedback survey
After having waited for responses, I have figured out peoples musical tastes, and some of peoples media consumption rates, However as of my responses were mainly teens, their media consumption rate is, in this case VERY high, as of everyday, either listening to music in their free time while doing homework or just used for relaxing. Radios or almost never used and mainly teens rely mostly on social media, internet based media type. Teens musical taste doesn't mainly come from one genre however the grouping age is very one sided as in 20th century music, almost none listens to oldies music. And their specific genres comes from either Pop or Rock.
Having finished this piece of market analysis, i will link this to my Audience profiles in the following video.

Preliminary task- Contents

PLAN

My contents will be something like this but will have more information on the left side as my first column and have my main image on the right side.

WORDS AND PHRASES

"coping with stress"

IG;s pain

bibes 

personal

effects

immortal

love and passion

teenage stress

lazy to easy

fun facts

glamourous

According to plan, the left side here contains a series of titles and links to each pages. Here I INTENTIONALLY selected some perverted numbers as my page numbers. This will attract male readers considerably and also female because they will be VERY interested in what will be on the page. On this contents page I had the same mast head in the same position because I wanted to have the same house style LIKE Vibe magazine uses the same house styles every time. And the result will look a lot better. IN my opinion I made it look kind of good, well it attracts me, so it might attract others as well. 

INTERESTING a HIDDEN main image?!

why did i choose to do this?

Well I wanted an abstract kind of feel to her because, if I were to place the main image in the same place again it would look fairy boring. On contrary to my plan which looks a mess this looks professional to me. the page numbers strikes me a a lot as said before "69" implies something naughty, as said before I again asked others for some reactions and they rally liked the fact that I included those numbers. For my color choices I kept my house style same. A white to stand out and a grey to make it seem more abstract and to pull you audiences in my magazine. BUT it can also be somewhat plain because again the main image is black and white, but i liked my hair effect I had in this photograph because she gives off an aura of wanting to pull you over to read this. However if I were to criticise my own work I would say that my choice of grey titles was bad because it is hard to see. EVEN so I kept it like this because I wanted the same house style. and my connotations for the black and white image is again a contrast of subjects, to keep the subject abstract and looks mature.

Preliminary task- Cover page

According to my last post this is my newer version that is the ultra improved version of the old one.

WOW, this looks a lot better to me, and is more according to the codes and conventions. Here I have my anchorage text which is very appealing and at least so many sell lines that will make people interested in my magazine.
The fonts and color choices were much better with the black and white photo I'm going to add. The reason I choose to affray from the task was because I wanted something different, something that I would enjoy making and this is the result:

IN my eyes, these look much better than the previous one, and naturally I took much more time on this one to arrange and edit fonts and also pictures. For my previous cover page i manipulated it with MICROSOFT WORD, WHICH is a word processing SOFTWARE not a magazine processing software, that is also one of the reasons I found why it was so bad.

If i analyse my own magazine cover here i made:
It seems that this deviates a lot from the task, even though the task was a school magazine production BUT i found that the layouts and words are much better here, I showed this to some of my friends and they were quite impressed with this one compared to my old work. Especially my "Her secrets on how to love" they really liked this one one the color swaps, Here I tried to make Secrets and love to stand out so I used a white color which contrasts a lot better than a grey color.  The mast head here in this case is hidden, this is what I intentionally did to make the main image i really took time to take and edit. AND the result was that it stands out. It gives me a chill and give off quite the aura. The reason I edited the picture to be black and white was mainly because it would blend better with my choices of text and color scheme i choose. The colour scheme I choose here is a black and grayish to a white scheme. Personally I like the color scheme I choose and might use it for my final production BUT this is a probability that I will really choose the same color scheme.

PRELIMINARY TASK COVER PAGE

PLAN

WORDS AND PHRASES

model name: janjao

"janjao reveals"

'trails top idol

"secrets to ......

how to.....

guides

bargains

sexy.....

exclusive

interview 

love passion

AND THIS IS MY FIRST VERSION

I found out later when i finished that my first work was not really up to standard and decided to make a new version of it. I realised this because according to the codes and conventions i did i did not have enough sell lines to attract audiences, however what i found really good was the exclusive janjao interview. But still i really wanted to add more sell lines on the lines of Secrets and others. Even though my task was to make a SCHOOL MAGAZINE i had a feeling that this was not okay so i changed the subject to be a little more mature and more appealing like, something that people would enjoy seeing.

I WIL MAKE ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS SAME COVER PAGE

PHOTO'S SHOWDOWN

Mid-Angles

This is a photo a took school at low-mid angle. She looks slightly puzzled and she is not looking directly at the camera which gives a -confused- kind of feel to it. The reason it is slightly at a low angle is because I am trying to emphasise how superior the -sixth form- in school she is. She is in her adulthood not a youngster anymore but she still acts like she is still a child so (puzzled look).

This image is a long-mid shoot in a brighter area (outdoors), I intended to emphasise her fresh kind of feel, But still again she is not looking directly at us, her mode of address is else where, this is to make you think why she is doing this, or I simply took this because it gives a kind of -hey I'm number 1- kind of feel and I could add extra backgrounds to it.

This gives a dark feel to it, a mature and could also join in the adultery category. This mid shot feel is used to emphasise mainly her style, which does not stand out, But made stand out in this case. I believe this image could associate with a sexual theme.

Close-ups

This picture is a slightly mid-shot but could be in a close-up range because it is quite close to the model. This simply implies -teenage girls shopping- kind of feel. The reason her hands are both on the fancy glasses is to emphasise her looks on wearing those glasses. Indeed she looks kind of childish now but it gives her a slightly mature feel. I used a close up in this case was to make the extra sunglasses stand out more because if i took a mid shot the glasses be really plain.

This is a extreme close-up used to emphasise her facial expressions. In this case it emphasises how she looks and is feeling at the moment and gives of a -I don't get this- feel. The reason i chose to take a close up was to avoid the books she was reading mainly. And also i was trying to avoid having a background because if I were to use this image I would photoshop it into into background to make her face stand out even more than it does now especially by toning her eyes.

This 3rd one i took most of my time out of all analysis's, i think it should be the best out of all 3 contents analysis and here is the photo of it including the analysis part below:

This is my second contents page analysis.

This is the first magazine content page i analysed.

I compared two different magazines on Hip-Hop theme.

This is my first magazine cover that i analysed. The file above should be my written anlytical writing.

Here is what i analysed on paper.
