Target Audience & Ideas for Music Maazine

Here is a sheet that features all the ideas towards my music magazine with priority on the likes of my target audience.

School Magazine Contents Page

Here is my Contents Page for my School Magazine. There is plenty of changes I will make when it comes to making my finished Music Magazine, despite this I like the gradient tool inside the boxes that the text is in, and the fact that it is in the Maricourt themed colours also benefit the house style. As well as this, the Tahoma font is featured throughout the front page and contents page also benefit the house style,

Example of Photoshopped Images for School Magazine

Here is an example of an image I have used photoshop to edit. As you can see the top image is the original, and I have used the spot removal tool and the Clone Stamp tool to replace the dirty wiring on the wall, and dead flowers, leaving the alive ones, to make it look pretty and more appealing. In the process of removing the wiring I needed to remove some of the shadow from the fence, so in order to make this look realistic i needed to remove the whole shadow, and I did so again with the clone stamp and spot removal. In the corner of the picture it features another heavily shadowed unnatractive building that has been cropped out.

School Magazine front page

Here is my school magazine front page. There are plenty of things I tried in the making of this that I will not be using in my final draft of my Music Magazine, however some of the photoshopping tools I used on the pictures I believe worked well and I will probably end up using them on my final draft of the magazine.

Mindmap for Music Magazine name

Here is a mindmap screening most things to do with my genre and target audience. I have decided to name my music magazine "The Vinyl" as it showcases my genre due to DJ's using vinyl records. The '.' On the I in Vinyl will feature a vinyl record and this again helps present my genre in the name. This should portray a DJ'ing image to the reader and I aim to present it in a way that the genre is obvious to the reader.

Target Audience for Music Magazine

Here is a page dedicated to my target audience for my music magazine. It personifies who I aim to appeal to and helps justify some of the choices in my magazine.

Second drafts of Newsletter images

Here is a second draft of the pictures i'm going to use for my school newsletter due to the other pictures being a poor quality when opened up on Photoshop.

24/7 Football Spread Annotated

Here is an example of a 24/7 Football Magazine two page spread that has been annotated by me.

School Magazine First Draft Pictures

Here are a number of pictures i've took for my school magazine that will obviously need a few changes. The brightness on a few of them will need to be increased and on the picture of the student outside the Maricourt badge i will need to crop the rubbish out. Also, the libary picture will have to be enhanced using photoshop to ensure that it is clear and lastly the one of the student typing on the laptop will only need a few minor changes. These are the images I have shortlisted to change on photoshop as these are the ones that will look the best when they are finished products.
