Evaluation- Question 3

Chosen Institution

This video created using Animoto, shows a brief answer of my chosen institution to produce 'NOIZE' magazine. I have also linked in this post my full institution analysis to show my comparisons and research. I have chosen IPC to distribute my magazine as they already produce popular, mainstream magazines which are well known. I want my magazine to fit into this popular category, appealing to a wide audience, and IPC Media have experience producing popular magazines, which hopefully my magazine will be also.

Evaluation- Questions 2, 4 and 5

This video I have created using 'Stupeflix'. In this short video, I have discussed who my music magazine represents, how they do this and why this certain audience would be attracted to my magazine, answering the three questions,
'How does your music magazine represent particular social group?'
As said in my Stupeflix video, my magazine represents a particular social group as it features exclusive interviews and news about the latest popular urban artists, with free gifts and competitions that would attract my audience, such as festival/concert tickets. The style of my magazine also  reflects the social group that I am representing, it is very mainstream, and nothing too alternative is included in my magazine, as it aims to suit a wide mainstream audience.
'Who would be the audience for your music magazine?'
The audience for my magazine is a mainstream culture, including both genders but mostly aimed at young adults, as it includes popular urban artists, and competition chances that would best suit a younger audience, for example ages 15-late 20's.
 'How did you attract your audience?'
I have incorporated these three questions together as I did not have a lot of information to provide about my social group which my magazine is aimed at due to the mainstream culture. On my blog I carried out a survey using, 'Survey Monkey' which allowed me to help target my audience with my magazine as I was able to find out exactly what they wanted from a music magazine. This allowed me to then look and compare my results to know what to include in my magazine and not to include. I will link the survey in this post.

Update Diary

 Today, I have been constructing my front cover for my magazine, here I have screen printed me in my development of my front cover, showing how my photo has been edited that I have used for my front cover, and as I am adding and adjusting my masthead.
I have also began to edit my double page spread image, and beginning to scale it to the suitable size for my double page spread. I have used photo shop for both of these tasks.
