Time Management - Targets to complete by 2016.

My targets to be complete by 2016;

1. Completing my DPS
2. Starting my contents page and front cover
3. Starting my website and billboard 

Feedback on Reader Profiles

I found the reader profiles extremely helpful when looking to start my product, this is because I am able to see what my primary audience specifically like within magazines. If I hadn't researched fully into my target audience I may have ben adding specific music genres or event to my magazine that would not interest my audience. Whereas, by asking my main audience I am able to get accurate responses on what should and shouldn't be involved within my magazine.

Reader Profile - Male 18

This is my second  reader profile for my primary audience, this time I selected a male audience member in order to apply both genders likes to my product to enable to engage both genders.

Reader Profile - Female 17.

To find out what my target audience's personalities are like, I got two primary audience members and asked them simple questions that I needed to know about them, to help benefit and engage my target audience to my product.

My main questions were; Favourite shopping places, music, hobbies and why they look for in magazines! I felt this benefited my greatly as I am able to make my product as relatable to my audience as possible, ensuring I get as many views as I can from my main target audience.

Time Management -Contents Page

I have started my contents page and for this session have focused on the positioning of my text and images; I want my contents page to differ from others and catch my readers attention through the obscure positioning of my conventions.

Completion of DPS

This my completion of my Double Page Spread, I feel I have represented Autumn well within the page using my colour scheme and mise-en-scene to create that vibe. My DPS is quite simple, yet effective and I feel it draws in the reader with it being so simplistic; it has a certain mysterious element to it. This is increased through the model having a non-direct mode of address.

Time Management - DPS

Today I am going to complete my Double Page Spread, I am going to make my last adjustments with my text and make sure it looks professional.

Audience Research - Facebook update

When creating my front page, I want to know what my target audience specifically look for when browsing for magazines. Therefore, i asked this question upon my Facebook page and received this feedback. This was extremely helpful as I am able to see the the main image and sell line are the main  interest point!

Time Management - Starting my DPS

I have decided to start my DPS first as it is the most simplistic page and I have all the ideas for the page fresh in my mind. Furthermore, I have the final image set for this page, whereas my contents and front cover pages I have yet to decide for images.

Looking back at facial expressions

Looking back on my research on facial expressions, I felt like it helped with deciding on how I would like my models to look within my magazine. I feel like exploring facial expressions is ideal as I am able to see what would benefit my product more and what would be best to use when engaging my audience.

Targets Update - November

I exceeded myself in the past month and was able to complete all my targets I set to complete as well as completing other pieces of work. I managed to sort out all my model preparation, photoshoot preparation as well as finally starting on my final product.
