The conventions, the producer and target audience of my text


The conventions, the producer and target audience of my text:


For my magazine I plan on changing my main image for my front cover due to the image being slightly blurry and the colours not matching the theme of the magazine. The sub images of my magazine such as the one on my context page I am happy with and I plan on keeping them. The colour palette of my magazine mainly consists of red; I am happy with it and plan on keeping it. I think by changing my main image for the front cover it will attract to the audience more because if the image is more clear and stands out more because it will be brighter and the image will stand out more.


I think that the target audience for my magazine would be both male and female; this is because the music that will feature in my magazine will be suitable for both sexes. I think that the age range would be from the ages of 15 to 25, this is because that the music that would feature in my magazine would be more recent and upcoming bands and artist which would not really appeal to the older generation. The characteristics and attitudes behaviours of my text would appeal to a younger generation of audiences because the text will be short and straight to the point.  


I would like to show my text to big media plat former such as IPC media but with them already publishing NME it would be unlikely that they would publish mine as well. So therefore I would show my text to Pupfish who are a company who make music books for children. With them already producing in the musical business, I think that if they where to produce a music magazine as well as books for children it would give the company a bigger name and make them more known around the nation and possibly around the world.

The reason that I changed my front cover image was that once I put this image on my front cover the colour pallet did not seem to match as this image is a lot darker and also when I put this mage on my front cover it went blury and looked unprofessional.   



Fonts

Here are some examples of some of the fonts I have used for my magazine and where I have used them.
