Mood Board

This is my mood board I have created for my magazine and my genre which is Pop music. I have chosen a variety of artists and bands that are in the pop industry at the moment, I also included differnet ideas of clothing that the pop artists may wear to give an of what they dress like. They are a few example of pop magazine which can be bought now, and different albums of the artists to give an insight. There is a colour wheel as well so I can see the different colours which may work well together as I need to choose 3 colours for my magazine with these next to each other I can see very easily which ones work well together.

Evaluation

My college magazine relates to other magazines very similarly for example the mast head I have used on my magazine is very similar to Vogues because it is big, bold and in the similar place. It also is giving the same purpose that other real media products are as mine is selling the college and so is other magazines will be selling their magazine for customers to buy. My front cover of my magazine is of two students which look intellectual as they are holding folders and the background of the main image is outside the college. This will attract the students to but this magazine because the models are smiling and they seem happy at college, the link of the folders that the models are holding links with the ideology of the college. The audience for my college magazine is many students that are interested in the college and things that are happening and maybe teenagers wanted to go to this college will look and buy it to see what information the college has about it. Adults could also buy and look at magazine if they are interested in the college but other than that it is many targeted at students because it has plenty information on the buses, timetables and a lot more. With my college magazine I attract/address the audience by the age of the model I have chosen to use because they are the same age and student that attend the college to make the magazine more appealing, this is much more appealing than adult or younger children.  It gives the look of college more of a mature approach which teenagers at the college want or future students would like. I also attract and addressed the audience by the colour scheme I used which was purple and white and black. This is not a girly colour and not a boy colour; also I used the purple because it linked with the whole colour scheme of the college that is there originally. With creating my front cover of my magazine I have used Photo Shop which was very hard at first trying to upload photos but then when I got the hang of it, it was much easier and learnt how to do certain things which made my front cover much different than anyone else’s. Looking back at my perfume task I feel that I have improved a lot by what I could do and the extreme of what I knew and what I could change with the original image. I have also learnt how instead of just using the Photo Shop text I could get a letter or writing from another website and add it onto my product, before I never knew how to do this, now I do. If I could do this task again I would go for a different main image and have instead of two people standing in the front of college I would have a person writing in the library because instead of the college just looking at college, students need to see the inside of the college and the facility that the college has and instead of all in classroom work you can do extra work in the library. I think this would make the college look good.
