TITLE OF MAGAZINE

TURN 45, I chose this to be a simple and catchy title that will be memorable and that people will remember to buy. The title is 4 letters long as it replicates my style model of 'MOJO'

 Images

the imerges of my magazine will be composed to replicate the style of artists such as Frank Sinatra, Adele and Michael Buble. the style of there images are often sopisticated and controled.

the overall look of the

images are often in darkend coulers or black and white. mostely mid shots, an image in this style would work to be my cover image.

Magazine Style
I intend to give my magazine a classy image replicateing such images as the cover of Michael Buble's new 'crazy love' album.

the coloures of this type of image are not bright over the top coloures, they are often black, grey or silver with only ocational flashs of a bright colour.

by maching this sort of colour palet my magazine will be able to have the sophisticated style that mirrors the style of the music.

GENRE
the genre of my magazine is going to be swing/jazz/blues, the sort of music lead by artists like Michael Buble and Adele. as this style of music is quite classic and old-school I intend to replicate that image in the look of my magazine.

Collage Magazine Analysis:

 1-my cover follows the convention of my style models with a domonating mid shot of my model, a large title and subtitles. I differed from my style models with such a bright background as they tend to be less stand out colours, and the contence page does not have as much infomation on as others. also the contence doesnt have as many

points of interest as my style moidel. this is something i could address in my music magazine.

2-the styles and slogans I have used reflect the youth/collage student audiance that my magazine is aimed at. the conputer font used on the contents page is similar top the fonts of mobile phones and social networking sutes. the bright bold coloures and pictures also reflect the youth influance as do the fonts I have used.

3-the audiance of my media product is youth/collage aged students who would read this to get infomation on there school.

4-I attracted my audience by using fonts, coloures and pictures all rellevent to my chosen audiance. the contents page did not work as well as I had hoped to attract and engage ny audience as it was not as stand out interesting as i wanted it to be to get teenagers to notice it. I addressed the needs of my audience by using subtitles that are rellevent to my audiance and the school, I did this as they are obviously more likely to read something that is directly rellevent to them and that addresses there needs and interests.

5-I descovered that it is inportant to put the time and effort into creating your magazine so as to get the most out of the technologies I have used.

barecoad price eddition
things that are necicery for the sale of the magazine, these apear on all magazines as they are necicery infomation to the reader and the barcoad is neciacery for the sale, these tend to be small as they do not want to intrude on the magazines cover.

pug
if there is a little corner piece that tells you the price or a promotion or some small piece on the edge of the magazine that provides infomation on the magazine these are used to explain inportant infomation in a clear way that does not detract from the magazine, they are not however always used.

puff
draws attention to offers or special features that may encourage an audience to buy the magazine.

graphics
banners
free gift
background
borders
colour
shapes
shaped background
contract
brightnes
eye caching

all of these make the magazine more attractive to there potentioal audience.

direct mode of address
to include the reader as a friend and chat to them, this is often used on the cover image and by addressing the reader as 'YOU'

keeping the audiance at a distance and keeping it formal can also be used if the perpose of the magazine requiers it, Music magz often use DMA to attract attention and create a strikeing image.

cover lines
they have an average of 6-12 cover lines to intice diferant audiances towards there magazines, they will uses several literary techniques and coloures/graphics to capture the attention of audiences, included with secondery images they intice the audience quickly and effectively.

secondary images
smaller less significant images that refer to features of the magazine but that are not the main focus. the more images you have may draw in a wider audiance. they will often have there own anchorage aswell on the cover. some magazines do not use these as they can also detract attention from the cover image.

anchorage
when images are refered to, the imerges are often anchored by ccaptions of sub titles. they often directly explain or refer to the picture. this all helpes to give meaning to the image and its significance.

 MUSIC MAGZ

the feature of this mag is clear and obvious and the image is interesting but simple and the wriring is clear and readerble

 the picture covers the title the title is clear but not so much as to steel focus, the image is a mid shot of the upper body of the cover modle. the size of the other titles are diferant in size depending on there significance.

 the main feature is as big as the title, and eye caching taking up the center of the page and clearly informing the audiance, it is also ancerd to the picture behind.

the picture is a full lenth action shot of the modle and the outfit which is coloure coardanated with the rest of the cover. the sub-titles are clear but not overpowering. the inportance of each sub title is obvious. the tag line runs across the top to be clear when in a magazine rack.

Contentse
thew blue contrasts with the orange backgroung and the images attract attention to the page however I feel this is not as good as it could be as there are few articals and could do with miore images. This is something I will take into acount when planning my Music Mag.
