  * * My magazinerepresents a genre of rap and grime. I think I have done well with my colour choices as I have stuck to a blue, white and black colour scheme. My magazine is aimed at teenagers at the age of 15-19. * I have chose an iconic character to go on the front page of my magazine, as teenagers may look up to this icon as he is such a major success. I have also chose to layout my magazine like a typical teenage music magazine.

  * Companies likeICP Media may want publish my magazine because it is professional and appeals to the audience. ICP Media already have several magazines. Like NME my magazine is similar to this because it is a music magazine. * Other companies may be interested in my magazine because it looks attractive on the shop shelf and appeals to the audience of teenagers. * My magazine could be published online, this would broaden the audience of my magazine and make more publishers and people aware of my new magazine. *

  * * My frontcover has good use of images. I have used my main image centered and looking at the audience so that it attracts the audience a lot more than if he wasn’t looking at them. * I have chosen a good colour scheme of Blue, white and black because I thought these go well with my main image as its also in black and white. * I have an appealing strapline also that would attract the audience.

  * * The maintechnique that I used is to use bold and colourful writing. Also to make my pictures stand out I have made them large and so that the figure is looking at the audience. This makes the audience feel a little involved . * Moreover I tried to space out all of my work so it looked more appealing. For example I wouldn’t have to much text and images in the same place, unless it was a man article in my magazine. * I tried to make the main headings of the front cover very attractive and powerful, so that the audience would be impressed with my magazine. I also used a underground kind of font to go with my magazine and its genre.

  * My finalmagazine production is a massive step ahead of my prelim. In my prelim, I used colours that didn’t go together and fonts that only came from word art. I have then learnt from my mistakes and improved these aspects by making colour charts and colours that go well. * On the other hand my final magazine had good fonts that I used from www.dafont.com. I also produced some colour charts for my final magazine so that it definitely looked good. * I also took my photos more proffesionally and with some background on them. I then cropped these photos I then took of the back gorund so it blends in with my magazine front cover. * Moreover on the prelim task I didn’t crop nor did I blend them with my background. * I have learnt a lot from doing my prelim, I reviewed magazines then went away to produce my own professional magazine.
