Diary Entry 5

This week I have been focusing on my Audience Profile and my names ideas. For my audience profile task I used Prezi and I included the results from my survey which was on my blog. I gathered the results and explained what I thought of the results and how it helped me with my magazine. I also included what my ideal reader would be like and my target audience. This task definitely helped me make decisions about how I wanted my magazine to be presented and what I should include in it and how I should include these things.
I have also been working on my names ideas for my magazine. I have put my ideas on my blog and have also written my top 4 choices. I also wrote about why I chose these specific names and how I feel it will add to the success of my magazine.
During the next week I need to make decisions about my business feature in my Proposal and to make it more detailed.

Names Ideas

Here are the names I came up with for my music magazine. I have decided that my top choices are M.I.C, BASS, M and TONE.
My first choice is 'M.I.C' refers to a microphone which is always used in the music industry. I thought this masthead would be eye-catching and unique because of the use of full stops.
I also chose 'BASS' because it relates to my indie/rock genre and is a very straight-forward simple name which which immediately attract my target audience.
Another name I am considering is 'M'. Magazines such as 'Q' have a similar name which is simple but very effective and attractive. The 'M' would stand for music which instantly relates to my magazine. The masthead would be very clear and striking and it would be an easily recognisable name for audiences to remember.
I also chose 'TONE' because it relates to the way that music is represented in the indie/rock genre. I also chose it because the tone for my magazine is a very important element to me.

Diary Entry 1

Today I did my draft for my preliminary task. Our preliminary task is to create a school magazine front cover and contents page. MY target audience is year 7 and year 8 girls. I've been keeping this in mind when choosing my masthead 'The Haydon Times' and also when choosing my colour scheme. I chose that specific target audience because female students are more likely to buy a school magazine because they are generally more interested in their education. I chose the colour scheme blue, yellow and red because they are bright, eye-catching colours which will attract young girls.
I chose female models for my front cover image and my contents page image because females are my target audience. I made sure all of my colours and fonts stood out to appeal to the reader and then I started using Photoshop to put my magazine together. I had no difficulty using Photoshop but if I'd had more time, I would've use more text effects to make my magazine more interesting.
