My target audience is Teenagers into grunge (The Alternative tribe of teens)

This Audience would by my magazine because:

• The Bands/Artists in the magazine are typical for the genre of music they're in to
• The fonts on the front cover are appealing to the target audience 
• The Articles featured on the magazines front cover and contents page would attract the audiences attention
• The Band featured in the magazine are from the same target audience 
• i believe the artists on the front cover will mainly attract my target audience as that will be the main thing people notice when going to purchase a magazine like this

Evaluation Question 3

I Have Chosen Bauer Media Group as my chosen distributor as they sell a wide range of magazines for example Kerrang, Q and more. The Idea of a distributor is a company who can get my magazine from the printing press to the stores overnight and i believe bauer media group is the best one as they have a wide range of magazines from different styles. The money for getting the magazine published would come from a business loan and if the company was large enough shareholders. Also depending on wether advertisers would think the magazine was a viable investment money would also come from them to help distribute the magazine. My Magazine is institutionally similar to NME, Kerrang and Q in my opinion.

Looking back at the preliminary task i feel that i have learnt how to take a picture with the best lightening so theres little/shadows on the models face andbody. I have also learnt about which camera angles are the best to use when taking a photograph and which angles to avoid as they can make the model have the wrong impression on the audience. I have learnt about mise en scene and what should be in a shot and what shouldnt and also about the positioning of model in the shot. we have also been taught how to set up the model when taking photographs and when it comes to taking a magazine ive learnt that most models have a lack of facial expression in there pictures depending on genre. also compared to my preliminary task i have learned whats the best/ most appropriate back drop for my model to be against. I have also learnt what fonts to use for the style of magazine i have created as my preliminary magazine had fonts from all over the place.

I Learnt from my preliminary task how to use magazine age models effectively ad things like how the eye looks at a magazine e.g. the spiral effect and this helped me out when positioning objects on my page for my final design. I also learnt how to use rulers and grids in photoshop to make sure my text and photos were correctly aligned on the page. I also learnt the best way to position text on the page and what fonts were most appropriate and not to use to many fonts limit them to about 3-4 different types. Ive learnt to how to use the most appropriate backdrop for my images.
