Planning Main Task - Mast Head Fonts

I think i am going to go with font number 3 for my front cover, due to the serif flicks that it has. It makes the magazine more formal, this would then link into my music magazine genre which is blues and rock. I find this genre more of a serious genre, perhaps for an older audience. Out of the three font that i originally had, number 3 i think best suits the magazine, especially when i add the picture. I think that the colours of the font goes very well with the picture, this is because i have changed the layer mode to "Overlay", i did this using Photoshop.

Planning for Main Task - Target Audience

From the results I collected, there is not much difference between the number of female rock listeners and the number of male -rock listeners. However, I must note the one female 21-25 year old who answered ‘No’ to the question ‘Are you interested in Blues Rock music? MY TARGET AUDIENCE from all of the data I have collected, I can see that my target audience are between the ages of 16 and 25. My target audience are predominantly White British. However it also includes those from the following ethnic groups.

Planning for Main Task - Genre

For my main task (Music magazine) the genre is rock and blues type. Rock magazines front covers would usually use dark colours as heavy metal is quite a dark type of genre of music. They also would have a lot of clutter like in the pop magazines because rock readers and their music would be seen as mad and messy so it would reflect onto the magazine front covers. They would also have big bold writing and words to attract their type of reader. The central image would not necessarily have a current artist or band. I have chosen the rock and blues type of genre because i think that this type of genre hasn't been done before as a music magazine so it could have a good niche in the market for a different audience.

Semiotics - Images

I have used this photo of Callum because he is looking at directly at the camera. I think this would make the magazine more personal towards to the reader. It could also show that Callum is proud of his new uniform, and that is he happy with the school he is at. This could perhaps make younger pupils such as year 11 that are looking to move to 6th Form have more chance of doing so.
