Practice Magazine Cover- "Zine" Magazine

This is the practice cover of the school magazine "Zine" which I produced in photoshop. I was trying to achieve an urban look by using abstract, rough and edgy effects on the picture. The urban theme is further emphasised by the graffiti font I have used for the title of the magazine. I hand drew this font in photoshop which was quite difficult but because I could not find any urban fonts on my computer, I had to create my own.
I used elements of urban slang such as "garmz" which are terms that a younger urban audience would be familiar with.
The phrase "Welcome to the college life" emphasises that the magazine is a college magazine.
All the coverlines feature college events to attract students to read the magazine.

Photoshop- My first attempt

Last lesson I used photoshop to produce a practice magazine cover. The practice cover is based on college magazine "Zine," which is an abbreviation of the word "magazine." I used an image of myself to represent a typical youth from my urban target genre. I learnt to use various effects on photoshop to alter my image. I hand drew some of the text to add orginality.
By the end of the lesson, I was quite familiar with photoshop and I hope to continue expanding my skills.

Questionnaire final draft

I have finally completed the final draft of my questionnaire and made any improvements. I will now distribute the questionnaire to my target audience and I aim to do this by Friday. I will distribute my questionnaire around college as my target audience is based around college.

Questionnaire

I worked on improving my questionnaire questions. I need to consider what kind of questions will help me construct my media magazine i.e. a niche in certain magazine genres. This will help me identify an ideal market for my magazine.
I need to now construct some draft front covers of my magazine to find out which front cover my target audience prefers.

Introduction to Questionnaire

Today we had an introduction to the questionnaire. I had several questions in mind such as how many people to ask and how many questions to include in the questionnaire. I am now going to prepare my first draft of questions for Fridays lesson.
