Conclusion on Questionnaire findings.

I recorded a short podcast on soundcloud of my conclusion of my questionnaire findings and have explained what it is now allowing me to do.

Questionnaire Results

I used an online pie chart creater to produce the pie charts of my results from the questionnaire I sent out. I then used www.slid.es to create a slideshow with my results in it.

Questionnaire

I created a questionnaire to confirm exactly who my target audience will be and what they would definitely want to see in my magazine. I had the choice to use a qualitative or a quantitative questionnaire. I want my results in statistics in order to create my pie charts easier, I used closed questions as opposed to open questions so that it was quantitative. The advantage of using closed questions meant that I could easily quantify my results, to put them into either a graph or pie chart. There are disadvantages of using closed questions rather than open questions means that I can't get very detailed opinions from my audience.

Initial Brief

I have made a presentation on emaze on the brief of my magazine that I intend to create.

Music Magazine Target Audiences

I have looked at NME and Q magazine and made a Powtoon on their Target audiences. Different music magazines have different target audiences depending on what bands or artists they put in them every week or month. The PowToon is embedded below.

School Magazine Cover & Contents

School Magazine Front Cover

In order to create my magazine cover I took photographs of people around the school in different locations and also a Medium long shot of a Sixth form student in the correct dress code to use as the main cover photo. I also took a picture of the Heworth Grange Logo from the Heworth Website.



School Magazine Contents Page

I used Photoshop to create my magazine cover. To add text I used the text tool and chose the font "Perpetua" for both the Masthead and the main cover lines. I have used the most basic of the key features that magazines use, a masthead, straplines and main cover lines and also a main image with a few small images at the side. I didn't do any editing to the main image other than crop it to size and I only cropped and resized the smaller images. I took a photo of a "Pintrest" pin and deleted the background to use as a fun way of making the cover look like it is a notice board. With the Heworth logo I just used the magic eraser to remove the background.

To create my contents page I colour-picked the pink colour from the right hand side of the main cover background. I added a rectangle box to put the title of the page, "contents" in. I wrote a quick summary of the magazine adressed to the readers. I then put the stories alongside their page numbers and used different colours to differentiate the main story from the description of it. I carried the theme of the cover onto the contents and used pins to make it look noticeboard-like. To add the "HG MONTHLY" to the background of the page I used the text tool and double clicked the layer to edit it. I changed the opacity to make it blend to the background and unclicked the red colour of RGB and left the green and blue to create the colours that show now.
