my double page

i decided to change and make my double page spread different to my fornt cover and contents page. I went for the grey colour. he grey colour is actually part of an effect. Two seperate pictures of my band, cropped the background, put them together and add the effect. I love how it looks and i would not change it. This cool effect needed a posh font. i chose the font because the look of the image looked proffesional and adult. It would be inappriate to use a childish font like comic book sans and something plain like Times new Roman and ariel black.It needed somethingwith a little more style. As for language, a proffesional Jazz magazine for adults in their 40s, childhood and teen language would not be appropriate. Full english, no slangand proper correct grammer was nessasary. After looking at a real double page spread I noticed the ones i looked at were very informal and full of slang language. this gave me the influence to make a more formal interview

They weekend

As i said, this weekend i would do research to improve my mark, and i have. I researched Media like Televison and magazines. and more indepth studying into EMAP.

Im am hoping that this will raise my marks now for my e-porfolio and all i can do now is wait.

Merry Christmas

After Teacher marking

A couple of days ago, the class reveived back their portfolio's with a mark from teachers. My mark was a C and i was expected to get a C after editing ares of work that needed improving.


I took my work to the next stage and had aweek to edit my Front cover and contents page, i found that these were really weak in design. I feel alot better about my design work with the improvements made.

This weekend i plan to do more research into music magazines, music magazine companies, and analysis of Double page features to get my research and planning mark up.

Questionaire

after completing and prinitng my front cover, contents page and double page spraed, i created a questionaire for people to view my fornt cover and see what they think of it


Overall responce was that my fornt cover was bland and needed more colour. My images were proved successfuland so was the font. i have took this into acocunt and am now editing to make it better so i can get more marks

Analysis of actual Double page Spread.

After Analysing a Interview with the lead singer of Nine Inch Nails Trent Razor, i find very informal language with slang and swearing in the interview. It appears to be a more of a conversation with off topic questions. ' Can you cook'

At times trent replies bluntly to questions and mosty odf the time he talks small. He doesnt put much description into his awnsers. Suprisingly though with this blunt attitude this interview was quiet big to fit a double page Spread.

My Choosen Magazine

For my music agazine ui have choosen to do Jazz. I have made a sketch of what my front cover will look like. For my background the main image will be part of the background. The background will be black with a light so it looks like a stage light. My Target audience is a large amount of black people and people over 50 who have quite a relaxed life and a positive attitude towards it

MY target audience i imagin would be maily men who are happy with their lives and really people who have grown up with Jazz.
