Production diary update 9

This week i created my colour scheme , my masthead designs and mast head colours. This week was fairly difficult.This is because it took a while and it took me time to think of a name and choose a font.

masthead designs name

In my previous post i came up with masthead designs. The masthead name i chose was 'reloaded'.

Th reason i chose this masthead name is because it is unique and it is short and simple.The theme of y magazine is rap and this fits well because 'reloaded' makes you think of a gun , and is quite an aggressive theme so this fits well.It also shows that the magazine has always got fresh content as it is always reloaded.

Production diary update 8

This week i created my analysis of 2 music magazines of the same genre that i am doing, my double page spread mood board and my front cover mood board. 

Readership profile

Readership profile

Here is my readership profile which is based on my questionnaire results. I first asked what gender are you.The results were fairly equal so i know that my magazine has to appeal to both genders.I also asked what is your age.The majority said 16-17 therefore i know that my magazine has to appeal to mainly those of a young age. I also asked what is your occupation.Most people said students which makes sense as most people who took the questionnaire were of a young age. 

I then went on to ask do you listen to music. Most people said yes which shows that my magazine will appeal to a lot of people as it is a music magazine.I also went on to asking those who listen to music , what type of music they listen to.Most people said hip-hop and rap which tells me that i should make a rap/hip-hop magazine as it would appeal to more people.I then went on to ask who is your favourite artist as this would give me an idea of what artists i would include in my magazine.I found that based on the result most peoples favourite artists were r&b and hip-hop artists.I also asked what do you do in your spare time.Most people said sports so this tells me that i could included something relevant to sports in my magazine. 


I also asked if you buy magazines. It was a fairly equal response so this shows that in order for more people to buy the magazine i have to make it very appealing and take on board the results from the questionnaire results and i try and included the, as this would appeal to the viewers.I then asked the people who do buy magazines , how often they buy them.I found out that they are not bought that often. This therefore shows that i wont be making a weekly type magazine.

I then went on to asking how much they would pay for a magazine.From the results i got i found out they are willing to pay a fair amount of money.This shows that i need to make a high quality magazine in order to make the magazine worth the price.
I then went on to ask what people would like to see in the magazine as this would give me a better idea of what should be included in the magazine.The majority of people said interviews , so this shows that interviews should be included in the magazine.

comparison of music magazines

COMPARISON OF MUSIC MAGAZINES 

This first magazine is a rock magazine. This follows the conventions as their are a lot of dark colours such as the colour black.This goes well with the type of music the magazine is advertising as these colours could be seen as 'serious ' and 'dark' colours which is how rock is also seen.The title has a very cool and stylish font which shows the magazine is stylish and up to date.The second magazine is of an r&b magazine.They are similar in terms of the colours being alike as they both use dark colours. However, even though they both use dark colours , r&b is not really seen as dark of a music genre as rock.They have used a picture of Cheryl who is well known therefore people who know her are likely to buy the magazine.The main differences in the magazines are that the rock magazine consists of 3 people whereas the r&b consists of 1 person which follows the conventions of a rock magazine as typically rock artists are seen in bands instead of solo musicians.
