Original Images (Concerts)

These are some photos I and my friends have taken at concerts that I am possibly going to use in my contents page, to ensure it's not all based around the same model/article.

Further Target Audience Research

To do some extra target audience research I messaged my friend to ask her some questions now that the time has come to create my magazine I'd like to know some more opinions on people my age and from the same area.

Pitch - Peer Feedback

To get feedback from our pitch we had a focus group of our class take a look at our pitches and say something positive and something that needs to be improved about our ideas, this was what was said about my pitch:


Positive

  • Good detail in pitch
  • Good colour scheme, very girly
  • Nice abbreviation of MBS!
  • Good ideas on the shoot
  • Everything relates well to your genre
  • Photoshoot well planned out
Negative 
  • Use more colours in colour scheme, maybe add baby blue
  • Details about the layout of magazine
  • Haven't explained the price (essential information)
  • Think about secondary audience
  • Explain masthead

This feedback can help me in the production of my magazine as it says what needs to stay the same in my plans and what I can improve and what to change about my ideas.

Semiotics Reading

Semiotics is the study of signs and sign processes, indication, designation, likeness, analogy, metaphor, symbolism, signification, and communication. 
Semiotics is closely related to the field of linguistics, which, for its part, studies the structure and meaning of language more specifically. 
However, as different from linguistics, semiotics also studies non-linguistic sign systems. Semiotics is often divided into three branches:
  • Semantics: Relation between signs and the things to which they refer; their denotata, or meaning
  • Syntactics: Relations among signs in formal structures
  • Pragmatics: Relation between signs and sign-using agents

For example if you see red you automatically think danger and stop. If you see green then you think go and nature. These have been taught to us through living our normal everyday lives. However its not just colours that can be used. Pictures, words, colours and sounds can normally be used. This will help a lot when it comes to creating my own magazine.

This has helped as i can now understa
nd what people may think when they look at an image or words. I can use this in my own magazine to attract the target audience.





November Time Management

These are the main parts of my work I am hoping to get done and by a certain time this month, these are like my own deadlines I'm hoping to achieve in order to get the work done by the actual time and with all the content.
