<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">How did you attract/address your audience?</span></h2>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13pt;">I attempted to attract my audience in a number of ways. I achieved this through my through researching regarding their attractions earlier in the project. The colour scheme, images used, model used and poses of my model all have extreme effect on addressing my target audience and creating a product that readers will look for with innovative and eye catching content. </span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 3.12pt; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13pt;">My colour scheme of basic black and white accented with blue is the running theme of my magazine keeping a cool and calm atmosphere for my relaxed magazine. Through a Google survey I found that the blue shade was preferred by a male audience with blue connoting confidence and intelligence. This colour was therefore picked as to attract my primarily male target audience. This colour is also predominant throughout my magazine in an effort to keep my magazine connected through colour scheme and as I know this pleasing colour scheme will attract my target audience.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 3.12pt; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13pt;">My use of images is also very coordinated to remain this calm yet punk effect. Most images have a border on them. as much quality and remain true to my eyes. This will appeal to my audience as the picture wont </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13pt;">This rustic border of white or blue can show the confined nature of my magazine, yet the images are coming out of the border connoting the factor that my magazine is constantly pushing boundaries and will remain on the front of underground independent entertainment. The photos were taken on a Canon 40D with a Helios 44m-2 58mm lens. I decided to use this vintage lens (produced in 1960 in the USSR) as it could work at low aperture whilst remaining a reasonably large range of focus. I also wanted to get the ‘Boke’ of a slightly distorted background whilst remaining resistant to large amounts of flare. The use of a 58mm lens was also considered, originally I wanted to use a 30mm lens however I soon realised that that led to a distorting of the models facial features and did not remain with the original integrity. 58mm is close to the standard field of view for human eyes allowing my image to have </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13pt;">a natural and photogenic appeal as not to distort my audience’s interpretation of my magazine. The clothing was also decided by me, I wanted the clothes to fit the genre of my music magazine. I did this by making my models wear stereotypical clothes related with the emo and punk genre like band hoodies, flannel shirts and Doc Martens. I do however feel my magazine should feature a more feminine aspect as there is very little appeal to the female demographic in contrast to other magazines. My use of images directly attracts my target audience for these reasons.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 3.12pt; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13pt;">The reason I did not want to shoot in a studio was in an attempt to achieve a natural setting that would relate to my audience. The clinical white of the studio was very against the ideals of my magazine, I wanted to capture the natural side of my models and their band. This challenges the conventions of the big magazines like MOJO, Q, CLASH and FADER which rely on using primarily studio lit backgrounds which in my opinion does not allow me to relate to the images and instead gives the artists a manufactured look. This is not what I wanted to achieve; I wanted my band to seem relatable and rustic, not afraid to take risks. The way I achieved this was by shooting outside. This meant that extreme care had to be taken through my lack of artificial lighting, I could only shoot what natural light had offered me meaning I made sure to shoot at 12-1 most days for a week in an attempt to keep the light overhead with full-bodied images and vivid shadows. I think this will appeal to my audience as they will be able to appreciate the care that has gone into the photography throughout. My target audience will also be able to feel more connection with the natural environments over the clinical and over produced superficial nature of using a photography studio.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 3.12pt; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13pt;">Over the production process I took a plethora of draft shots over multiple photoshoots equating to over 200 images, I chose the few used as an attempt to show off the range of distances and angles available for me to use and as an attempt to keep my magazine looking fresh and not just the same 3 shots in the studio over and over. This was an extremely challenging aspect of my magazines creation as it involved posing my models in natural ways without making it look forced or over produced. Most of my images have someone looking directly into the camera, this was to make a connection with the reader and to make the experience feel more personal compared to if the models were all looking into the distance away from the focus of the lens. I think this attracted my target audience as it allowed them to take the magazine seriously and also gave a professional approach and viewpoint regarding my magazine enticing people to come and read as they would respect the reviews and relate to the interviews.</span></div>

What do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 2.4pt; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I feel like I have honed my skills in
Photoshop massively throughout this task.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 2.4pt; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Mise-en-scene and camerawork: In retrospect from my preliminary I have
realized that my Photoshop skills were very limited starting this project. My preliminary was created to test my skills
and attempt to create a baseline regarding my proficiency. I feel my camerawork
and </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Mise</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">-</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">en</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">-scene
used in my final product has improved massively and has been performed to a
much higher standard in comparison. I have learnt how to model and style my
models to fit my magazine genre. In my preliminary magazine the models looked
uncomfortable and out of place, no in my final product they give off an air of
confidence and look in place regarding the genre they derive from. My front
covers </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">mise</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">-</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">en</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">-scene
was very limited and almost non existent. I had gone into the studio on a whim
and decided I needed images. This resulted in my preliminary images to have
little to no relevance and not having much thought put into. I wanted to
advertise for pupils at the school for a school magazine, this meant I knew I
wanted to use students at the school for the front cover however as I had
limited knowledge on school magazines I had very little ideas for how to
position my models and what to do with them. This is in contrast to my final
product which has been constantly thought through and where </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">mise</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">-</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">en</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">-scene
is at the forefront of my mind. I made sure the person I used as a model look
natural in front of the camera and would remain in confidence instead of
looking shy or awkward. My model is also wearing a band hoodie as to relate and
draw in more readers interested in these genres of music. The model’s hair is
also important, it is styled in a way popular and prevalent in more mainstream
emo subcultures as an attempt to draw in a bigger crowd of following from
around the country. This change in stylization shows explicitly the
improvements made from my preliminary mock up in regards to the stylization of
my models. During my preliminary I also had lots of problems with artificial
light. I was only using one light to compose my images causing a dark grey
shadowy effect when creating my magazine that I decided to incorporate
throughout it. This in my opinion sets the wrong </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">mise</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">-</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">en</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">-scene for my preliminary product. It
shows a negative, dark and unwelcoming approach to what should be a happy and
welcoming school magazine. This was a big problem throughout my work, the use
of black and white mean that shadows made everything. Shadows could change the
tone of my images completely in no time at all. This was why I learnt the light

of my images to give them a calming and relaxed feel when complimented by the
soothing blue of my </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">colour</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">
scheme. This effect also allowed me to change the tone of other images, making
them darker and fit in more with the punk and emo theming of my final product.
My preliminary image was also a very basic pose with quite an off the cuff and
random appearance. This gave my preliminary an unprofessional and unappealing
look. My final product however was the divergence of this, it made use of
leveling with the camera being lower than the subject to give the model an
appearance of grandeur. This look of importance </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">is </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">a common trait in emo and punk album

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Text arrangement and editing: I learnt
through my preliminary work that the text arrangement of my magazine is key
towards its progress. In order for my product to be believable I needed the
text arrangement to be natural and not look disjointed in comparison to
standard magazines. I learnt this as my preliminary’s text was very limited
with little in the way of product. My preliminary product used a default font
from Photoshop. This font is quite recognizable and makes it so that my
preliminary magazine would not stand out of be easily distinguishable from
other forms of media. I altered this in my final product by using fonts
especially selected for my magazine through a website called </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">DaFont</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">.
This allowed my text arrangement to stand out and not blend in with other
magazines on the market. The masthead and title font I used is reminiscent of
the hand drawn fan-zine style prevalent through out the 80’s. This detail and
care is what separates my preliminary from my final product. My preliminary has
very little thought about marketing and audience profiling throughout whereas
my final product has had all the fonts and page layouts meticulously selected
to benefit my project and audience. I have also gone for a more minimal
appearance regarding my final product, this gives my magazine a less cluttered
approach and also allows the reader to fully digest information, getting a feel
for the stylization and format of my magazine. On the other hand my Preliminary
has a cluttered arrangement. This in my opinion gives my preliminary an
unprofessional and messy appearance, letting readers disregard the information
inside and not fully showing effort has been made and taken in order to create
the highest product available. I have also realized that my preliminary helped
me understand the correct layout of a magazine. My preliminary only includes 8
pages. This is obviously not enough for a genuine magazine free or paid. In my
final product I had realized that a free magazine: although not having an
extensive array of pages did in fact have to contain a baseline minimum of
pages. Through reading fan-zines I noticed the average magazine only contained
around 20 to 35 pages. This was my deciding factor when it came to my final
product. I wanted to make my magazine a feasible amount of pages long creating
a sense of realism and also showing I understood the conventions of the genre.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Camera:</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The camera I used for this was my Canon
40D with a Helios 58mm lens. This lens was created in the 1960’s and still
holds up to this day competing with some of the higher range camera lenses on
the market currently. I chose the 40D mainly because It was an easily
accessible camera as I already owned it. However I also wanted to take
advantage to of the 10.1 megapixel sensor and get the highest quality images
possible from my magazine. My decisions regarding camera lens were mainly
related to the fanzine structure, I wanted to use a vintage lens from the
previous millennium as to create the same image stylization that was common
throughout the late 70’s early 80’s. I also really liked the mid length of the
lens at 58mm, this created a natural look as it was very similar to the normal
field of human view so the subject was not distorted in any way leaving all
features intact. The lack of any automatic features on this lens also meant
that I had to increase my skills in light registry and learn how to correctly
expose images without the help of the automatic features that come with the
camera. I feel learning this also helped my magazine increase in realism as
there was a lot of practical elements to my magazine, common throughout the
years in which fan-</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">zines</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> were
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">in
their peak.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Over the course of my work I have
massively improved my </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">P</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">hotoshop
skills. Going into this task I had little to no knowledge on how to use
Photoshop (as shown by my preliminary) an now I feel I can confidently
manipulate images into a plethora of situations and to my desire. The version
of Photoshop we use was CS6, Although not the most in date product it is still
the industry standard meaning my skills learnt are directly applicable to real
life situations. I mainly improved my skills of editing images by learning
about blending, layer masks an adjustment layers. Now after completing my
product I feel I have a high understanding of the functions in Photoshop an am
able to complete most tasks to an extent.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I have also used multiple different
websites and technologies throughout my coursework. I have used blogger
constantly as it lets me consistently update my work and gives an easy way of
tracking my progress through the constant log of posts made that I can scroll
through. Blogger is also where my teachers have logged the work set for us
meaning that it is a consistent way for us to know what we need to do
consistently. I have also learnt how to use </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">scribd</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> to embed word documents onto my blog. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dafont</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> is
an extremely helpful website as a bank of thousands of different type faces all
royalty free. This helped me browse font to use and ultimately enabled me to
follow the themes of my based genre. As a result of this website I also have
learnt how to apply new fonts to the Mac operating system, something I was
unaware of until this task was set.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
also learnt how to navigate and utilize websites suck as UK tribes which
through this allowed me to efficiently set a baseline for my research and
planning and find out more about my target audience directly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have also used </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dropbox</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">,
this software allowed me to upload images I wanted to use for my magazine
directly without any loss of quality that may be achieved through using a
website like Flickr that compresses images to within a certain scale. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dropbox</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> also
enabled me to research from home and upload any images or large files to use at
school that could not be directly uploaded to blogger.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I attempted to attract my audience in a
number of ways. I achieved this through my through researching regarding their
attractions earlier in the project. The colour scheme, images used, model used
and poses of my model all have extreme effect on addressing my target audience
and creating a product that readers will look for with innovative and eye
catching content. </span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 3.12pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.0pt;">My colour scheme of basic black and white
accented with blue is the running theme of my magazine keeping a cool and calm
atmosphere for my relaxed magazine. Through a Google survey I found that the
blue shade was preferred by a male audience with blue connoting confidence and
intelligence. This colour was therefore picked as to attract my primarily male
target audience. This colour is also predominant throughout my magazine in an
effort to keep my magazine connected through colour scheme and as I know this
pleasing colour scheme will attract my target audience.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 3.12pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.0pt;">My use of images is also very coordinated
to remain this calm yet punk effect. Most images have a border on them. as much
quality and remain true to my eyes. This will appeal to my audience as the
picture wont </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.0pt;">This
rustic border of white or blue can show the confined nature of my magazine, yet
the images are coming out of the border connoting the factor that my magazine
is constantly pushing boundaries and will remain on the front of underground
independent entertainment. The photos were taken on a Canon 40D with a Helios
44m-2 58mm lens. I decided to use this vintage lens (produced in 1960 in the
USSR) as it could work at low aperture whilst remaining a reasonably large
range of focus. I also wanted to get the ‘Boke’ of a slightly distorted
background whilst remaining resistant to large amounts of flare. The use of a
58mm lens was also considered, originally I wanted to use a 30mm lens however I
soon realised that that led to a distorting of the models facial features and
did not remain with the original integrity. 58mm is close to the standard field
of view for human eyes allowing my image to have </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.0pt;">a natural and photogenic appeal as not to
distort my audience’s interpretation of my magazine. The clothing was also
decided by me, I wanted the clothes to fit the genre of my music magazine. I
did this by making my models wear stereotypical clothes related with the emo
and punk genre like band hoodies, flannel shirts and Doc Martens. I do however
feel my magazine should feature a more feminine aspect as there is very little
appeal to the female demographic in contrast to other magazines. My use of images
directly attracts my target audience for these reasons.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 3.12pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; text-indent: 0in; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The reason I did not want to shoot in a
studio was in an attempt to achieve a natural setting that would relate to my
audience. The clinical white of the studio was very against the ideals of my
magazine, I wanted to capture the natural side of my models and their band.
This challenges the conventions of the big magazines like MOJO, Q, CLASH and
FADER which rely on using primarily studio lit backgrounds which in my opinion
does not allow me to relate to the images and instead gives the artists a
manufactured look. This is not what I wanted to achieve; I wanted my band to
seem relatable and rustic, not afraid to take risks. The way I achieved this
was by shooting outside. This meant that extreme care had to be taken through
my lack of artificial lighting, I could only shoot what natural light had
offered me meaning I made sure to shoot at 12-1 most days for a week in an
attempt to keep the light overhead with full-bodied images and vivid shadows. I
think this will appeal to my audience as they will be able to appreciate the
care that has gone into the photography throughout. My target audience will
also be able to feel more connection with the natural environments over the
clinical and over produced superficial nature of using a photography studio.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Over the production process I took a
plethora of draft shots over multiple photoshoots equating to over 200 images,
I chose the few used as an attempt to show off the range of distances and
angles available for me to use and as an attempt to keep my magazine looking
fresh and not just the same 3 shots in the studio over and over. This was an
extremely challenging aspect of my magazines creation as it involved posing my
models in natural ways without making it look forced or over produced. Most of
my images have someone looking directly into the camera, this was to make a
connection with the reader and to make the experience feel more personal
compared to if the models were all looking into the distance away from the
focus of the lens. I think this attracted my target audience as it allowed them
to take the magazine seriously and also gave a professional approach and
viewpoint regarding my magazine enticing people to come and read as they would
respect the reviews and relate to the interviews.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My
target audience are young adults aged around 16 to 25 mainly men with a female
audience also who strive to be individual and love the social aspect of music.
Through my research reading reviews and learning about the target audience of
many bands I can tell that many listeners and fans are within this age range
and therefore targeting my magazine towards this age range would be the most
successful approach. I have also noticed that this is the age range where
people are most likely to go out and see shows, this is why I have included
sections in my contents page regarding upcoming shows and gigs. The average
acceptance range to go to gigs is 16, this was a determiner when deciding the
age range for my magazine as I wanted my target audience to be active within the music community and
motivated to go and explore new bands and genres. My age cutoff at 25 I feel is
the age where most people decide to settle down. After finishing University, 25
year olds would be more focused on getting full time jobs over going out and
watching bands generally targeted towards the teenage audience. This is cutoff
around the age most people try and settle down in life and generally start to
become less sociable and start becoming more introverted and retiring. My
magazine will try to appeal to both genders however through research I have
noticed that there is not that much of of a female audience so I doubt there
will be many sales from a female readership. </span></span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">My
magazine would be all about the scene and focusing on the characters and
personalities of bands yet also gaining a more serious take on reviewing
albums, gigs and songs in detail. I also realized that the clothing worn by the
bands members was crucial to making the magazine believable and realistic and
appeal to my target audience. I noticed the gap within the market for a free
magazine targeted towards more niche punk and </span><span style="color: black;">emo</span><span style="color: black;"> based music genres creating a perfect
market for my product.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When
creating and designing my magazine I kept my research and planning in mind in
an attempt to ensure that all my work fitted the stylization and genre I was
aiming my content towards. I made sure my models were clothed appropriately
regarding the task and fit the genre of music I was attempting to portray
throughout my magazine allowing the audience to relate to the magazine. The
messy aesthetic of my cover model ‘Ethan Smith’ also connotes the unorganized
and layered atmosphere regarding my genre, relating to my target audience. The
positioning of my model towering over the cover image also follows the
conventions of punk magazines with a confident appeal and aura surrounding the
cover artist. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">For
the magazine I have produced this project, I have decided that I want to have a
large amount of independence distributing my magazine. I want to be able to
distribute my magazine independently physically as an attempt to reduce cost
yet use a big online distributor to publish my magazine digitally. This
publican must have experience and be able to give guidance for future editions
and projects. I also want this publisher to have a large reach in an attempt to
increase audience size and get my work out there to like minded audience
members. This decision is one of the most important regarding my magazine, it
is a crucial part of the magazines commercial success. They define the
magazines quality and ensure the reader gets the best intended experience
whilst maximising profit. </span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">As
magazines are periodical publications they are printed on a regular schedule
and feature a plethora of content. Most magazines are financed by advertising,
subscriptions and of course the purchase price. They are distributed online,
through bookstores, mail and other vendors. My free magazine will be
distributed at select locations like music venues, record stores and specific
clothes stores. </span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">As
previously stated I would like to distribute my magazine physically
independently as in my opinion it continues with the fan-zine culture and
allows me to have a more direct connection with my audience and such. However I
have been researching online distributors and have set on the company </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Issuu</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">.
This distributor has a total of 100 million + unique visitors per month.
Launched in 2007 this fairly new “digital newsstand” has quickly became a
prolific distributor with 100 million active readers. Named one of TIME’s 50
best websites and being a South by Southwest<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>finalist in 2008 </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Issuu</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> is
quickly making a name for itself as a large distributing power. The company
offers a wide variety of magazine genre’s attracting new readers everyday to
their online platform. This well established company would be perfectly suited
to publishing my magazine, their “advanced analytics, social tools and the
ability to embed customised a customised reader”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>will only further the accessibility of my
primarily Niche magazines target audience. The publisher already has previous
experience publishing other punk music magazines such as “Maximumrocknrol”
meaning they are aware of my target audience and will know how to appeal to the
highest amount of potential readers.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
money for funding my magazine would come from advertising. I would use the
niche audience to focus advertising to products related to my magazines<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>punk </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">roots. Publishers need to be able to make
advertising positions appealing and be ale to attract new companies
consistently in order to fund my magazine. So that being said my </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">magazines
revenue </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">will </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">from
its strong relationships with advertisers. The Gentlewoman counts brands
Céline, </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Miu</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Miu</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">,
Balenciaga Saint Laurent, Gucci and Prada amongst its advertisers, for whom the
magazine’s tactile print quality is a part of what makes it a desirable place
to market their brands</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">.
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">We
could </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">subsidize
our magazines existence </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">by
staging sponsored </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">events
and accepting donations. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">There
are multiple magazines distributes similarly to mine, NME, Mojo and Vice. These
are all similar both institutionally and generically. With free magazine
structure and similar creative styling. I would hope to gain the same success
as these magazines through hard work and a growth of popularity. My magazines
price is free which is similar to the example magazines I have listed so far.
This means it is not expensive at all, not deterring people from buying my
content.</span></div>

the process of making my magazine I did extensive research on the Emo and Punk
subcultures in an attempt to find out what my target audience’s interests are
and what their lifestyle includes. This
involved me making an audience profile during the research phase of my
coursework, from this I was able to have a clear representation of what modern
“Emo” and “Punk” consisted of, bands like Andrew Jackson Jihad, American
Football, Joyce Manor and </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">Iceage</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;"> allowed me to see the aesthetics and
mentality’s of these subcultures.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">I
used the website UK Tribes as well for this process as I needed to further my
knowledge of these subcultures and themes involved. It has a clear catalogue of
different social groups, making finding out about my specific social groups
fairly simple. Through this website my target audience were termed as being
“Hardcore” which means they are described as “Your roots lie in the punk rock
culture of the 80’s but unlike some other Alternative Tribes this isn’t just
about style and music. You live by straight – edge ethics, represented by your
various tattoos.” Although not being entirely accurate of my </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">Desired
social group this allowed me to set a baseline for how I should appeal towards
my target audience. Through this I learnt that my social subculture relied upon
changing trends and was a very diverse.</span></div>

<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">From
this research I realised that my artist has to either be prolific in the scene
or new, up and coming. I realised there are no second chances in the Midwest </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">Emo</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;"> and
Punk scenes meaning my artist had to stand out. I also noticed that fashion is
a very important aspect of the subculture. My model Is dressed in a black
hoodie with a rather dirty text scrawled along it, this quite punk aesthetic
also stands out compared to other typical </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">Emo</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;"> and Punk band pictures as a different
from the stereotypical plaid shirts and dad hats whilst still staying relevant
and typical of the genre. The overall atmosphere is quite relaxed yet also
still edgy. </span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">I
based Ethan on multiple current musicians relating to my genre. Bands like Andrew Jackson Jihad, </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">Iceage</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">,
snowing, </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">Glocca</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">Morra</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;"> and
American Football were my main inspiration for my fictional band as they hold a
high dominance in their respective scenes (Punk and Emo). They really portrayed
what I wanted to achieve atmospherically with my band. I do however feel that
there is not a set look to this genre and it is all very subjective regarding
fashion. </span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">My
magazine overall represents the particular punk subculture with a cool and
relaxed appearance with no pressure to fit in with larger cultures. They choose
to portray their creativity through their musical achievements rather then
their clothes or sociolect. My magazine mainly focuses on the male side of the
genre yet I feel if I had to make more I would like to explore women in the
punk scene also with a broader spread of artists.</span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 14pt;">The
title of the magazine: </span></u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">The Masthead of my magazine follows some
of the many conventions for music magazines mainly “Clash” and brings separate
interpretations on their well renowned cultural presence and their instant
recognition. I wanted my magazine to have a stylized look that could be
instantly recognized by readers, I realized that the first place to start in
this would be by using an innovative masthead. I noticed the common theme of
blocky magazine mastheads with large and bold letters (</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">ie</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">
CLASH) and realized that this could cause confusion with potential audiences
buying the magazine at a store. This is why I decided for a gothic almost
cursive style font, it allowed my magazine to be instantly recognized by font
alone and would also separate my product from other less niche music magazines
giving hopefully a good initial impression on my target audience of young
adults with less mainstream music tastes as a magazine centered in Punk rock
and Midwest </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">Emo</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">
Revival. The positioning of my masthead is heavily inspired by “CLASH” with the
off center masthead acting to split the page in two. One section shows the
title, information, date and featured band yet the other half of my page being
free to display my cover image and allow the readers full focus of each element
separately. The blue </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">coloured</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">
masthead in contrast to the black and white image is used to set the theme for
my magazine, the use of this odd </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">colour</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;"> scheme was to pay homage to the classic
punk DIY fan-zines that were prevalent throughout the 90’s with the inability
to use vivid </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">colour</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">
palates and the usual default of black and white products due to low costs and accessibility. The reason for
the use of “Gaze” as my magazine title is because it is short and punchy again
following along the conventions set up by music magazine greats like “CLASH”
“MOJO” “DIY”. It is easy to remember and sounds nice read out loud.</span></div>

Layout: </span></u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">The
layout of my magazine is rather simplistic. I wanted to keep a consistent font
pool throughout my magazine, meaning I had to make sure to use all of the fonts
found within my magazine on my front cover. The Font’s used were: “Painter”,
“Myriad Pro” in both Bold condensed italics and in regular. I felt that the use
of a consistent font theme kept my magazine feel uniformed and professional. My
main reason for using “Myriad Pro” in italics was to keep with the
distinguishable features of my masthead and it’s cursive stylisation. “Myriad
Pro” is also a very legible font in my opinion making it easy to read for
articles and pull quotes, it stands out enough to make It easily recognisable
yet also it doesn’t fall into the block capital blocky geometric font types
used in many popular music magazines. My magazines font sizes are structured as
to decrease in size with the decrease in importance meaning my masthead “Gaze”
takes up the most space and has the largest page presence in regards to all
other text on my page, this is then followed by the bands name “Launchpad </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">McQuack</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">”.
This is significantly smaller than my masthead however I have inflicted the
monochromatic colour scheme upon it as an attempt to keep the users focus on
branding and the cover image, I did this because I feel like readers of my
magazine would already be introduced to the artists featured and this magazine
would be to give the next depth of knowledge regarding the music industry and
scene. I think the relaxed colours used for my front cover create an inviting
and attractive atmosphere surrounding my magazine and this is conveyed rather
well through my colour schemes. The lack of barcode on my magazine is because
of it being a free magazine, this is explained through my editors note on my
contents page. I made this decision because I admire the creative choices and
the community aspect of free campus magazines, the magazines I researched were
mainly functioning around Canada and the Montreal college campus music scenes.
This is also the reasoning for my colours scheme, in theory the black and white
would be a cheaper printing cost and increase the distribution rates. I also
felt that free magazines in the UK did not hold the same quality I saw in other
regions. On my contents page I chose to use a header image of some buildings,
this gave my contents a rugged and “punk” look contrasting my calm and relaxed
colour scheme, I left a gap of negative space the size of one column to
separate my table of contents with my editors note and distribution
information. This was I think gave my contents page a more relaxed and spacious
feel in comparison to some other cluttered magazines like “</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">Kerrang</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">” .</span></div>

props, iconography used to reflect genre:</span></u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">My front cover model Ethan Smith and
subsequent band members were styled in a range of clothing over multiple
photo-shoots, this meant I was able to pick the exact images I wanted to fit
with my magazines genre and the genre of music my fictional band were creating.
The clothes are meant to be quite simplistic and yet they still needed to hold detail even
through being made black and white, this is why most of the raw images are
actually quite monochromatic and there is very little use of prevalent </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">colour</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">
throughout. My cover image consisting of only Ethan has been specifically
selected as it has quite stylized “punk” undertones with the blocking of the
model looking down upon the camera and with the scrawled writing upon the
hoodie, however it also comes across as quite calm with the out of focus high
aperture “Bokeh” background normally associated with stylized Japanese magazine
covers. This enabled my model to fit with the genre aspects whilst also having
a stylized and different flare towards it. This theme has followed throughout
my double page spread with the use of one large image and on the second page a
collage of images all showcasing the stereotypical “punk” aspects I have become
familiar with throughout my research.</span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 14pt;">Camerawork
and framing: </span></u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">As
previously stated I have used a low angle on my cover image to show the
dominance of the model and fit with the
“punk” themes I researched throughout my coursework. The smooth and
“Bokeh” trees backing the image have been used to add a layer of depth to it
and comfort. I did not find using the studio practical enough and wanted to
take all of my images outside, relying on natural light for composition and
giving complex and unique backgrounds for my models. My initial idea for my
contents page was for the three band members to be together sitting on recycled
props found around the school premises. This is what I did for my first double
page spread however I came across a problem related to text and the composition
of my image, I wanted to keep the desk in the picture yet it meant I could not
fit my article on one double page. This desk I believe give the first image a
rugged and nonconformist flare yet contrasted with the blocking of Ethan sat
strapped into a car chair it gives a juxtaposed connotations of conformity and
rebellion. I wanted to get a high angle for this shot with a (fairly) wide
depth of field (50mm) to give a natural </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">perspective and to show the rugged
background concealed within the image. For my second double page spread</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">I wanted to use different perspectives and
ranges for camerawork, I chose to use three headshots of the band members to be
able to introduce the reader and show the conformity throughout my magazine.
The main image of the squatting was something I had not seen done before in
many magazines and I wanted to be able to manipulate the blocking and layers of
my photo to clearly show the graffiti on the wall behind the subjects. This way
of using headshots to introduce the members of the band I have seen used
throughout multiple magazines and I felt was necessary to convey the attitude
of the article.</span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 14pt;">Article,
header etc. font and style: </span></u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">My article follows a simplistic style, I
learnt through my research that most people are likely to just look at the
images in a magazine rather than the text itself. With this in consideration I
tried to make my article friendly looking and less text focused. I decided to
use a bold font for my article reminiscent of the “CLASH” font type, this gave
my article a friendly and approachable design. To link my pages together I have
also used “Myriad Pro” in bold condensed italics for my pull quotes and headers.
I feel this gives my magazine a needed sense of fluidity I would be unable to
get with varied font types throughout my magazine. </span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 14pt;">Genre
and how the magazine cover, contents and spread suggests it: </span></u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">I
think my magazine presents the DIY punk scene quite well through the use of
black and white, the grungy effect it is given through the black and white
leads some to the imagination a key aspect of the punk genre. I also think the
black and white theme conveys the non conformist attitude of the punk and
Midwest emo subcultures as it is no longer the norm for single colour scheme
magazines to be in production, this gives my magazine the rugged and
independent aesthetic commonly regarded with these genres. This running theme
also adds an aspect of professionalism and would incline the audience to read
onwards.</span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 14pt;">Cover
inspiration: </span></u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">My
cover was inspired by a variety of magazines, I really liked the use of a
single profile shot used prolifically within magazines like “I-D” and “CLASH”
however I also wanted to incorporate themes from fanzines with their black and
white themes and uses of big borders (E.g. “radio riot” pictured above). Above
all this however I wanted to keep a minimal and stylised front cover “fantastic
man” </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">esce</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">.</span></div>

inspiration: </span></u><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;">My
contents page was heavily inspired by the handmade Punk fan-zines of the 70’s
however I wanted to give this a modern edge. I did this by using elements of
magazines like clash to format my magazine whilst also keeping natural font’s
for headings to add to the handmade aesthetic of the fan-zine community. I came
about the decision to use a singular colour as an ode to the early 70’s artist
Leslie Schiff with her sure of having a singular vibrant colour overpowering
the scene in contrast to the dark and monochromatic images</span></div>

“CLASH” in the layout of text bodies, I still wanted to pay homage to the
fan-zine culture however and tried to use a culmination of images and collage
them whilst still keeping to the modern format.</span></div>
