Vibe Magazine

L – The main photo on the front cover is of Usher looking much laid back and gangster with big bling on and sunglasses. He Usher is sticking up one finger with his ring on and it appears as if he’d be looking into the camera if he didn’t have sunglasses on. The mast head goes behind ushers head making him seem more important, all writing on the page is behind his head and had but in front of the rest of his body making his hand and head really stand out. There is lots of colours but the main ones are yellow black and blue. It is called ‘The sexy issue’ With the words seemingly scribbled over this saying ‘swagger’
I - Miller Publishing bought Vibe in 1996, and shortly afterward bought Spin. The private equity group The Wicks Group of Companies bought the magazine in 2006.
I – The magazine shows that the R&B genre is all about sexiness, money and a little bit of gangster.
A – The target audience for this music magazine is teenagers/young adults.
R- The music genre is represented with ‘swagger; and ‘sexiness’ and the famous music artist usher.

Q Magazine

I – The MCU is of Beyoncé and it makes her look very beautiful and natural, it is a medium shot. She is wearing a white bodice fastened at the front which makes her look very pure and innocent but still sexy. The magazine masthead is in the top left hand corner very large and a bright red which is the only splash of colour on the magazine except a small advertisement at the bottom. There is a border going all around the edge of the magazine advertising that it is a 20th anniversary special. Because it is a 20th anniversary special It advertises how inside there is a list of the 20 greatest albums and tracks of Q’s life and there is 20 exclusive interviews, including one with Beyoncé which is in larger writing going over her body so it is relevant to the main image.
I – Q magazine is published by Bauer Media, a German publishing company based in Hamburg
I – The double page spread on Lily Allen gives the magazine an edge with her checked shirt and how the main heading looks like it has been cut out of a magazine titled ‘people think I’m an attention seeker, but I’m just honest’ gives the magazine a really cool open sort of look. The music genre is R&B and the target audience is a wide range but generally I would say young adults.
R - The featured artist is Beyoncé and she is represented as innocent and natural with the grass behind her in a natural setting holding and umbrella and her bodice shows off her womanly curves.

Rolling Stones Magazine

L- The photo is a shot of a good looking new star pulling up his top. It is of his top half and he is smiling but not looking into the camera. The connotation next to the image is ‘The new American heart throb, Zac Efron’ he is wearing a white T-shirt which looks good as it is the same colour as the background. The colour of the connotation is red which stands out against the white. It is slightly overlapping the image so you can tell that they are connected and the connotation is related to the main image.
I - Jann Simon Wenner (born January 7, 1946) is the co-founder and publisher of the music and politics biweekly Rolling Stone, as well as the owner of Men's Journal and Us Weekly magazines. Source: Wikipedia.
I – From the front cover of the magazine you can see the issue is aimed at the younger generation by talking about Zac Efron and ‘Punk Rock Fight Club’ at the bottom Sex, terror & hip hop are advertised, all things that would interest younger people rather than older.
A – This magazine is aimed at a younger generation.
R – Zac Efron on the front cover is made to look young cheeky happy and attractive by the magazine.

The brief of my music magazine,

Using a DTP and aan image manipulation program i will produce the front page of a new school/college magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close-up plues some appropriately laid-out text and a masthead. Additionally i must produce a mock-up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate my grasp of DTP.

My Evaluation in LIAAR

LIIAR analysis of my magazine
L- The title of my magazine is WYKE COLLEGE MAGAZINE this is memorable as it’s the college’s own magazine so students will still associate it with the college. I presented it largely on the page to grab reader’s attention. My main image covered most of the page and was of the head and shoulders only, I tried my best to make the subjects face clearer but I think it could have been made clearer. She is making contact with the camera so it looks as if she is looking into the audience’s eyes, making it seem as if the magazine is aimed at them. I used a bright purple and white for my colour scheme although the picture of a football with a florescent green added a nice different bit of colour. There is thumbnail images to illustrate articles with anchorage, the magazine is free, which I stated and so there doesn’t need to be a bar code. Along the bottom I advertised chances of competitions and winning an iPod touch. My main image links with the feature article and it is made clear they connect as it advertises it slightly overlapping my main image.
I – My magazine is different to others as it aimed at Wyke students by Wyke students, all articles are fun but informative, and it gets the point across whilst still appealing to students so they want to read it.
I – My magazine contains articles about becoming a professional footballer, becoming a model and Wyke party’s but it also includes features more serious mixed up with the fun, articles about university choices and safe sex.
A – My Magazine is aimed at anyone who attends Wyke College; generally this is 16-19 year olds which is why I have included articles about parties, pretty girls and football which is what this age group is generally interested in.
R – The students are portrayed very positively in this magazine. There is page which show off their recent achievements and it informs them of lots of upcoming opportunities.

How I would premote the launch of my magazine

I would make a link on the official Wyke website, sending viewers to the magazines sub link, advertising the realise of the new up coming magazine, showing off the features and the uniqueness of this new free magazine. It will inform students that they will recieve there free copy in a tutor session with a set date. The issues in the magazine would not be on the website, instead it will just give information on when the next issue is and chances to take part in featured competitions online. On screens across the college the Wyke College Mag will be advertised a month before it's realise so there is a big work up to its realise. This is a rough draft of how my website may look.

My Final Front Cover and the draft of my contents.

Drafts of my front cover

2. I like this draft alot better than my first one and i like the white band at the bottom showing the advertisment, i think the plain purple background is to plain.

1. I like this draft but after speaking to my media teacher i descided i wanted to make the writing more fun, and the captions under the photos larger, i would also like the caption that goes over my image to look like it belongs to the picture more than being up in the air. I also need to add a date and issue number.
