My magazine

I added a logo and my masthead and I also added the same colour background as my front page. I then added some text to say what the magazine will be about.

My magazine

I put my picture in a circle because it looked to plain. I also changed my writing so it stood out a lot more.

Look Magazine

OK Magazine

The readers of this magazine would probably eat toast, cereal, fruit, cereal bars or skip breakfast.•They would probably travel by car, bus, train, bike normal transport fro working class people.•They would most likely like in a flat, uni, travellers, house anything really this magazine appeals to people in there 18’s to 34’s so really they could live in any and many accommodations.•They would probably drink tea, coffee, fizzy pop, alcohol ect. And eat normally to this magazine isn't really filled with things on how to loose weight or be healthy more about Celebs and their lives so I don’t think it would effect there eating or drinking habits.•They might play spot but more than likely watch a lot of spot seen as many of the Celebs featured in the magazine are sports stars.•They could be single or taken it doesn’t really give away any clues for that.•Sunny places where Celebs are spotted.•There are some articles of political interest so I think they might vote but not really for any person for any reason that strongly.•They would probably go to the same clubs featured in the magazine

My magazine

I changed the writing and I also changed the colour of it so it stands out a lot more. I moved the price down to the bottom so there is more room up the top.

My magazine

I added a picture of Sean and I also added my masthead and my headline. This is my final front page.

Glamour Magazine

•Women aged 16-35 would be interested in this magazine
•The text is bold and pink which catches the eye of the women, the bold pink text also tells use that there's going to be clothes, shoes and accessories inside which makes women glamorous.

•-Kate Perry an who she's NOT sleeping with!
•- The new sex addiction. 4 million relationships are at risk. Is yours?
•Its is a glossy magazine.
•Bias- No its a range but it is slightly bias towards Katy Perry and the other Celebs about what they wear or do.

My magazine

I then began to think of what my magazine was going to be about so I added some puff information and went from there.

Hot of the press definitions

•Negativity- is it bad news?
•Unexpectedness- is it rare or unexpected?
•Continuity- has the story already been defined as news and covered previously? Will it have on going Impact?

•Composition- Will it balance other news? A human survival story world balance a number of stories concerning death or suffering
•Meaningfulness- Is it culturally close to us in Britain? How much meaning does it have for the audience?

My magazine

So I then moved my puffs around so my picture could go in the left hand bottom corner. I also changed the background colour to a lighter blue and I added the date and price of my magazine.

My magazine

I added my picture but then decided that the angle the girls were standing wasn’t right for me. And I wanted my picture in a different place.

Broadsheet newspaper

•Formal writing and formal language
•Political stories, world affairs, real news
•More Factual than a tabloid newspaper
•Aimed at a middle class and upper class audience
•Contains Sports such as cricket, but more on politics
•Front page- more stories, real news, smaller heading.
•Formal master head.

My magazine

I then added a barcode.

My magazine

I coloured the think bubbles in different shades of blue and green.

Tabloid Newspaper

•Smaller in size to carry around accessibility wise.
•Colour & Layout
•Master head is bigger and bolder than the broadsheet
•Sensationalism- Celebes, war, page 3
•Paparazzi photos
•The sun, The Daily star- male audience
•A lot of sports
•They Pick You Up and knock you down
•Less Formal Language, more sensational language
•Use Pun’s- Play on words

Magazine 8

Here I have put some pink and purple in the circles to make my writing stand out a lot better.

My magazine

To begin i started out planning were I was going to put everything.

Magazine 7

When I had done my magazine I had a look at it and thought that it didn’t stand out enough so I played around with the colours and shapes and came up with this, which I think it looks a lot better but the colours could do with being changed again.

Magazine 6

Here I have added some colour to my magazine by putting a blue and white rectangle behind my text, adding these squares is helping my magazine become eye catching and will make me have more readers.

Magazine 5

I have inserted a barcode off of the internet to make my page look more like a front cover of a magazine and also I have put the price of it in the bottom left hand corner.

Magazine 4

In this print screen I have put in a picture of a broken machine from the fitness suite and I have put some puffs saying that the machine is broke and when is it going to get fixed. Also I have put the date in for my magazine.

Magazine 3

In this print screen I have changed the writing of my masthead to Frank F Gym Report; also I have changed the headline to machine broken. In the master head I have made the writing have a 3D effect.

Magazine 2

Here I have changed the background
colour to a light grey, using the greyscale tool at the top of the page.

Magazine Design

This is my template of
my school magazine.

Contents Page

This is my first attempt at a contents page, After looking at this I realised that there was no page numbers so it didn’t look like a contents page, I then decided I didn’t like the layout of the images.

After looking at my first trial I then decided to take off the picture of the dancers as I had already got a picture of them on my front page, I then decided to move the footballers group photo to the bottom rather than the top, I then replaced that with a picture of myself the editor and a space for the blurb. I also added age numbers so that it makes it easier to get to the specific story they might want to read.

I then moved the image slightly up the page so that it caught the attention of the readers and so it looked more professional, I then added my blurb. I added the blurb so that it tells you about the editor and what the magazine is about. I then moved the date from vertical to horizontal so that it fits across the bottom of the page and is easier to read.

Contents Page For Buzz News Magazine

Here is the final contents page which I have created and I carried the theme from my front cover over on to my contents page so that the theme flows through and creates the same affect. I put a blurb also onto this page to say who the editor is and what this will deliver to the reader. i used a different layout to what i planned but i find the layout works well. i carried the footprints throught to this page as i thought it would help the theme alot more as the donate your old shoes is one of the main articles featured in this magaxine i have created and added a picture of the donate your shoes poster. i numbered my pages to make it alot more professional and effitcive to the viewers eye and easy to read.

Buzz Magazine Final Cover Redone

This was the cover i created which i was going to use as the final piece but then i decided to play around with it and came up with an even better one than this. The final piece is shown below.

This is the final cover of the school magazine i have created which is shown at the left. The first time i started it the colours were very over powering and colourful so i changed them to more of a plain theme. i used a white background and red and black writing. I used red stars to put the puffs inside to connect to the pictures that are added to the the cover. I added the schools logo on the cover to show it is part of the school and called it Buzz News. I put the schools slogon under neath the masterhead and added a website address for students to find the magazine. i faded the edges of the pictures to help blend into the white background to make it look more professional. To make my headline stand out i used footprints to go around the page but it also is to do with the head line as it is to do with giving shoes to Africa. As i used stars for my puffs i made the start of the headline 'BE A STAR' to help the theme of the cover flow. The price and barcode is put at the left hand coner of the cover to make the page more affected and real. Under the masterhead i added the date of when the magazine was published so that it made it look like a real cover.

Magazine front cover

•I started off with the idea of a dance show and a reading compotation as my main topics of the magazine I then went and took some images to do with my subjects I had chosen. I then decided to use the colours of the school (red, black and white) as it is a school magazine, I came up with this first trial front cover , but after looking at it I then realised that if I removed the bar code it would look more like a poster then a magazine.

•After realising this I then added a small caption under the master head, which now makes it look more like a magazine than a poster. I am now happy with my magazine and I am going to use this trial one other than my first one, this is because I feel that the masterhead is in a good position and can be easily seen. I also feel that my images are places well and are not to over powering, I also think that my puffs are not to over powering as I only have a few which are relevant to the images on the page.

My Finished Front Page

I started off by using my mock up front page that i had made, i then changed the colours as they were to over powering as they were very bright. i then changed the colours and made them more related to the school so i changed the colours to red black and white. i then added pictures off things that are happening around school, for example reading competitions and dance shows. I then came up with the name Frankie's news, I then added the school logog as it is a school magazine.

Finished Picture

Putting the light in

I have put a lens flare in the centre of the lights in the background. To give it more of a flashing light effect.

Combining the two pictures

Here is my picture combined with the other. I used the tool at the bottom right hand corner of the picture to combine both the pictures once I highlighted one over the top of the other.

Photo Plus Transparent

I used the transparent tool to make the picture see through like this.

I have got two pictures from the internet that represents the theme of my band which is drum and bass and I have put the two pictures on top of each other and made one transparent and put them on top of each other to create one picture.

These are my results that i came up with after surveying 10 people of all different age groups. This will help me create my magazine as the questions are aimed at what they would like to see in a school magazine and what type of magazine's they read at home.

Sweet but not to sweet

This advert tell us the teddies are sweet but not to sweet because of what there wearing. The background is black and the cereal is bright so it stands out so you can see what this advert is about. The slogan in this advert is sweet but not to sweet, which is why they have got cute bears but in naughty little outfits.

Mock Up

This is my mock up of what my front cover of my magazine will look like, i created this using serif page plus, I did several stages to get this final image:

• Firstly I added a rectangle box to fit the whole of the page which i then coloured black for my background.
• I then added a blue star in each corner for decoration one being the logo the other the date and price but beens as it is a school magazine it will be free.
• I also added a pink rectangle box for my masterhead to go in.
• I then added three 14 point stars for the puffs i then coloured them green to stand out so people want to read my magazine.
• I then added two boxes were i would like my images to be i also made the outline green so the images and out form the black background.
• I lastly placed a barcode where my barcode would eb so tht i no it fits there and looks professional.

Work completed by Samantha Ryan.

Small but tough

This advert is showing you a small car but it is tough because there are police hiding behind it while being shot at. They are referring to the way it is built. This advert shows us the logo of the car so when people look for the car they know what to look for. By putting police men behind the little golf instead of their own police car is saying that if you were planning on going to a police shootout buy a golf.

Kate Moss advert

This advert is connecting to us in a Non verbal way about the Nixon camera. This picture is advertising a camera, which is why the woman is holding one. As you can see this picture is of good quality which will catch your attention if you are out looking for a good camera for yourself. The model in this picture is Kate moss, they have used her as a nude model to basically attract the attention of men, so when they look they will notice that the picture has been took by a Nixon camera and will hopefully think about buying one for themselves. Kate moss is in this advertisement because she is famous so that when people look at this advert they recognize her and instantly show an interest in then advert.

Durex performer advert

The idea of this advert is to come across as humorous to the public, because it is referring to sex as a ticking time bomb because of the effect that sex has on men. The wire and the bomb is a very clever way of describing sex in a Non verbal way.The word ‘Durex’ in this advert is the logo for the condom, this logo helps people know what to look for when searching for condoms. The spark on the wire connotes that the man has inserted his penis into the woman. The wire in this Non verbal advert connotes that man and the woman are having sex and the further along the line you go the closer the man gets to exploding his bodily fluids in the woman. At the end of the wire there is a knot which represents the condom and which stops the mans fluids getting to the woman therefore making sex safe and more enjoyable.
