Feedback

Aferdita I am happy to see that you are now almost up to date with the research and planning work. You need to work on your focus group interviews i.e. use shuffle share to embed the audio file as it currently goes to a weblink / doesn't work. In additon you must add a running commentary to your blog with screen shots of your production work in progress. You should also add original photographs and any rejected ones.

Aferdita whilst you have worked well on the textual analysis tasks, there are several items from the research and planning checklist that are still outstanding. You must complete these ASAP.

analysis of front cover 2

The front page i will be analysing is of NME. This front ocver has got presentational devices such as the mast head, sell additional lines, main image, barcode, name of magazine and coverlines.
The main title "the gossip" is referring to the focused band on the front cover. It is written in large white font which connotates thier success and to grasp audiences attention. It could also be an acronyn due to magazines usually known for gossip and thier name band also suggests thier gossip that they have.
The main image is of the band with the female placed in the middle. This composition of these band members with the female dominating the page connotes that shes the main member of the band and that its unstereotypical for women to follow rock. The men at the sides of her could  reinforce the idea of protection of the female placed in the middle and theyre giving the woman a path or an honour of being in the rock and roll life style.

Feedback

Aferdita you have made a fairly good start to the research and planning work.
Targets: work through the checklist to ensure that you complete each task listed by 18th Feb.

Thanks for adding me to your blog Aferdita.

Front Cover analysis

This is a front cover of rolling stone magazine which is widely known amoungst every types of audiences as rolling stones has derived from the band called rolling stone an iconic rock band wih generations of hits.

          The main image consists of the "Jonas Brothers". The composition of the image of them three is that they are placed in a way that they take up the whole front cover with one member Joe placed at the centre. The reason for this type if composition could be that they're appealing amoungst young audiences especially amoungst teen girls so placing them all over the front cover would be eye catching and appealing. Joe is placed in the middle as it signifies hes the lead of the band as his role within the band is as the singer.

         Thier clothing is simple yet sophisticated through there naked layer of jewellery and white shirts with brown leather jackets. This simplicity creates less attention on thier clothing but more on there facial expressions and poses. The type of clothing is very masculine and it connects with the main title which says "from boys to men" connoting that they want to be taken more seriosly as artists towards the older generations as they're maturing aswell. This type of technique is useful as it would also appeal to a wider range of audiences adding to thier promotional values.

       The main title "from boys to men" is in large yellow font makng it seem prodominantly in your face as the use of yellow is very bright and eye catching so the first thing the reader notices woud be that title and they can associate the title with the main imaging. Ther is also extra wording on the side of the magazine and these are called additional sell lines. They have these as it expressed what else is contained in the magazine so audiences who arent passionate about the jonas brothers could also examine into ther artists works. If they werent there it would cause a confusion as to if the magazine was ony about the focused band at the front or not. Yet again the additional self line are also yellow adding to the continuous colour scheme giving the magazine a memorable imaging.

Music magazine questionnaire

analysis of NME magazine

The genre of music magazine that i will produce is a variation between indie rock and rock. I will be working independently for this production.
The music magazine of the same genre that I have brought is NME. The genre of this particular type of magazine is supposed to represent the independent artists signed to independent record label such as chapel club but it seems to also represent main stream artists such as the xx. This magazine underestimates the readers into thinking it presents us with the rock genre but other types of genres are shown such as pop and jazz as there are articles relating to artists such as Aggro Santos.
      The target audience for NME would be between the ages of 18-25. Ive chosen this age ranges because of the type of language the magazine uses such as conserderd wording and irrational behaviour that the artists convey. Also it would target more of the male audience rather then the female audience and the big clue would be the advertising. It mostly advertises games consoles and men's watches.
      The main group promoted on the front cover of the magazine would be "white lies" and their main article is mostly focusing on their new album, materials and their musical tastes.
       The colour scheme is mostly black and red font. Black is stereotypically represented for being dark as such is rock as well and the red is for anger with associated with the anger rock stars portray to be. The background is white which makes the black scheme stand out more appealing to the audience. There are also hints of purple and pink fonts which may suggest that they are appealing to the female audience as these colours are very feminine.
     I will appeal to my target audience by not making the front cover, article and contents page seem too much exaggerated but keeping it simple so that they can understand my magazine quickly.
