Evaluation, Question 7
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
When I look back on my preliminary magazine (which I based on a school magazine) I feel like i have learnt how to produce a magazine which has to be relevant to a actual audience, how each text sixe, colour and word can effect the price sand sale of a magazine. The practical aspects of creating a magazine, like how to plan a detailed photo shoot. When I created my preliminary I found the feedback wasn’t too great which was suspected as the colour scheme I used was the same as the school uniform. The colour of green suggests weakness and the text font wasn’t strong enough and physically too small. The think I have used a good sense of reality throughout my preliminary and throughout my final piece. As the questions I asked during the interview were realistic and insightful and easy to read. As I have said beforehand I wanted to represent men aged 14-23. The reason for my idea to use the same color throughout (red, white and black) was because I have found that the color red is the color which attracts a person’s eye and red is also a masculine color used to draw in a male reader. I used a childish tagline because through my research I found away to draw my target audience in is to use childish mannerisms and quotes. If I was to use a story related news piece with tragedy in, the magazine would sell as well and the normal readers would be interested in that magazine anymore. Also music magazines sell and make more money if they have offers, deals, subscriptions and free items in the magazine. I used a subscription to the monthly magazine, I used free band T-shirts in my magazine to help entice readers to buy my magazine.
