Name of Magazine.

I have decided to call my magazine 'student chaos' as eveyone who took my questionnaire preferred this title. This is text i am going to use on my student magazine.

Photoshoot

For my photoshoot i'm going to have a medium close up of 3-4 girls or boys as my direct audience is aimed at teenagers. I have decided to take a range of different shots to see what angles and poses i want. I would then have a choice to see what is best.






This is the sort of photo i would like, however it is not a medium close up so i would have to crop it or do a slightly closer up shot.

This image includes both male and female and creates the topic of relationship. This image is also a good representation of the medim close up i would like on my magazine.

Weekly Review and Questionnaire Analysis

In my first week i have managed to complete my research into student magazines and my textual analysis, by doing this i have found out information about current magazines and what also appeals to me and other audiences. i also now know how different magazines look. I have also posted my initial ideas for the front of my magazine and have requesed feedback on these.

By completing my audience questionnaire i have decided that my target audience is teenagers as this was the age of the people who had answered my questionnaire. I have decided to create my magazine for girls, about fashion and relationships.I have also decided to use bright colours on the cover of my magazine, with the main use of pink as this was the most popular colour. I have also decided the text on my magazine should be bold and different as this was the text that was preferred. The price of my magazine should come to no more than £1 as this is the maximum price that people is willing to pay. I have decided to call my magazine 'Student Chaos' as this was the most popular choice.

Textual Analysis of Student Magazine.

The Student Times

The student times is a free magazine that is for students, made for students. The colour scheme on the front cover is quite dull and has the main colours of blue, white and red. The mast head is 'Student Times' this makes the magazine sound more like a newspaper making it seem traditional. The masthead are often recognizable on magazines so the readers know what to look for, to develop a sense of identity and to encourage readers loyalty into having the magazine when it next comes out. The layout of the front and simple, the picture on the front stands out the most and the special offers for tony and guy and a travel discount stand out enticing the reader. The audience the magazine is aimed for is a mass, as it is available to all students. The image on the front cover is of Peter K, this interests the audience as he is a recognized comedian and the picture of him as a woman is funny.

First Car

First car magazine is a magazine made for young drivers, so it is aimed at a niche audience because it is aimed at the specific interest of 17 year olds. The main colours on the front cover are yellow and white. The image on the front is of the characters from the inbetweeners this links with the banner and headline that goes across the page. The strapline is in black and white and has interesting items along it, this is in capitals that stand out to the audience. The masthead is large and in he top left of the page this makes it easier for people to recognize it when shopping for the magazine. The subheading correspond with the colour of the headline and banners, connecting it all and making it look professional and neat.
