Mood Board

I created a mood board of things that I believe are likely to interest my target audience. I foucused of fashion and lifestyle and thought about the tye of things that my audience would enjoy doing as hobbies or interests. I am going to look at this mood board for inspiration with colours, style, layout and even for prozes for my monthly competitions.

Key Concepts Prezi

I created a Prezi based on my research of the key concepts os magazines. Within this Prezi, I looked at the codes and conventions of magazines, the type of audience that reads them, how artists and music genres are normally represented and different institutions and the magazines they publish. Overall this research has widened my understanding of magazines and I will use it when I create my magazine to make sure my magazine is in keeping with brand identity.

I then looked in to the different types of double page spreads. I looked at how they are laid out and analysed how this could impact the reader. I think that I will benefit from doing this research because I will be able to take some ideas from them when I create my magazine.

I also researched in to music magazine contents pages. I specifically looked at the layout, images used and the stereotypical information that is commonly included within them. I found doing this research helpful because I will be able to look back on this when I create my magazine for inspiration.

Similar Product Research Front Cover

I researched three different music magazine front covers for inspiration for when I come to making my own. I looked at the detail they included and I thought about why certain aspects were used and what effect this was meant to have on the target audience. I then presented this in a powerpoint presentation.
