PRELIM - Introduction and Initial Ideas

Hi, my name is Anita and welcome to my blog. This blog will consist of my work during GCSE Media Studies. We are currently studying magazines and our brief is to design a magazine front cover
and a contents page about fashion for 14-18 years. I have been given the chance to create this from my choice which will feature items and information from my own perspective.

I am very excited to start creating the front cover and contents page as I could be able to relate to it since it is a fashion magazine. I am hoping to go into deeper research with my work and can understand the different views of fashion that people have. I am looking forward to making these as I will be able to learn new techniques that will be useful for my studies. A worry that I have is that in the past i have used Photoshop but it has been a few years since I have used it but I am hoping to learn everything again and make this magazine look successful.
At the moment I do not have ideas set for this magazine as I need to carry out my research to find out what my audience will be interested in. I do not want my magazine to look to packed and detailed because I just want to be a simple one with a limited amount of information. 
I am looking forward to start this task as it seems very fun but also a lot of work but I hope to learn new techniques while designing this.

PRELIM - Statement of Intent

PRELIM -Statement of Intent I intend to produce the front cover and contents page of a fashion magazine. My magazine is targeted at 14-18 year olds that will be interested in fashion. The language that will be used will be a very unique type that will be different to real magazines. The camera shots used on the front cover will be either a close up or a medium shot that will mainly focus on the type of fashion this magazine is based on. This will also make the model look as if she is trying to communicate with the reader from her angle of gaze. The outfit that the model will be wearing on the cover will be from what the audience preferred to see when they answered a few questions on my survey. This will give me a little confidence that my target audience will definitely read my magazine as it’s what my audience wants to see. My magazine front cover will have a very simple font that will mainly have upper case letters. The name of magazine is La Moda which means fashion in English...

PRELIM - RESEARCH RATIONALE

The research that I will be doing for my fashion magazine will be helpful for me to create and design my magazine because it will help me know more about marketing and my audience. I am currently a student in Norbury Manor with students from the ages of 11-16  and sixth form students from the ages of 16-18 and this will enable me to have access to a wide range of different target audiences that will have different opinions about a fashion magazine. This research will help me gather information in what they look for in a fashion magazine and what influences them to buy one. For the research I am making into my fashion magazine, I will be doing a survey and also try to interview students from different age groups. I will put together different questions such as quantitative and qualitative that are related to fashion and magazines and this will help me understand what different people have opinions about Fashion magazines. The quantitative research that I will be carrying...

PRELIM - Evaluation of Final Product

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?    My media product is a fashion magazine and to create my fashion magazine I looked at real magazines and analysed what each magazine had and it helped me create my magazine. My layout is similar to a real fashion magazine and it looks realistic too. My media product does have the conventions of a real media product as it has mostly everything a fashion magazine would have. My magazine contains a fair amount of cover lines and has a nice clear masthead. My masthead is eye catching as it pops out to my reader. I have used a small graphic to make it look even more realistic with a little help from some fashion magazines that I found online which helped me think what sort of graphic I would like to have on my magazine and how it would fit with my house style. 2. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation st...
