My preliminary represents the social group of geeky unique students that have enough time to read my school magazine and be interested in the informational update the magazine gives on the school. My intended audience for the magazine would be the geeks of the school that think its cool to read the school magazine and get updated on the school news and gossip, although some parents would like to have the magazine but some information produced in the magazine may be what parents are not wanting to hear about, but it does keep that aware and updated on the students.I attracted this audience by giving information that they would want to know, whats cool or whats happening in the school, updates on the students or what they are doing at the school.
I have learnt a lot about technology with this project because i had to use photo shop. I learnt how to use layers on photo shop and move them around to having different things on the cover in different grounds of this cover. I also learnt how to use the camera and lighting , using the positioning of the model to show shadow effects. Another technical skill i have learnt is how to place an image once opened in photo shop onto my main project via copying and pasting once edited.
My targets for the week ahead is to find 10 cover magazine pages that are my favourite from the last 12 months. Identify my preferred genre of music for the magazine i will be creating, showing images of artists, fashion and music videos of this chosen genre. Then reflect on the skills i have required up to this point for example photo shop and terminology skills i have learnt. Also analyse at least one magazine cover, one magazine contents page and one magazine double page spread and a minim of 3 for each using a minim of 10 technical terms, these magazines must come from my chosen genre. Lastly evaluate what i could copy or take from my chosen favourite magazines and evaluate how realistic it is for me to create this magazine from my favourite genre.
