School magazine - Front Cover Draft

In class we were given the task to sketch out our plan of what we would like our school magazine cover to look like. By researching, I gathered all possible things needed to portray in my draft, a theme and style of what could make a   good and selling school magazine. 

Target Audience Profile

This is my target audience reader profile I have created. The slide consist of images that relate to my reader profile, almost like telling a story, but rather then in sentences I've used pictures. And also a mini story that explains what Tia & Jay spend their everyday life doing.

Web Log Evaluation

In this task we had to evaluate three web logs. I evaluated Concrete Loop, The Movie Blog, Afrobella and Miles Davis.


 

Front Cover Representations

This is a front cover representation of Vibe magazine and WordUp magazine. The representations features all possible conventions that makes a standard and selling magazines. 

Article Intergration

Using Adobe InDesgin, I placed text over an image. This is another way of using text integration. This gives any news text a professional look. And therfore i plan to use this feature in my music magazine. 

Mode of Address

Mode of Address

Mode of address is the in which we communicate to an audience. The different types of modes are first person, third person, formal and informal. An obvious feature that connotes the address is colloquial and expletive. Colloquial language are words the younger generation use and is comfortable in relation to one another. Slang words - more or less. And expletive language is foul and inappropriate language. Words that are bad minded and are explicit to young children and should not be said around kids.

Most text in magazines can be written in 1^st person, 2^nd and 3^rd

1s person is using words such as ‘I’, its they way you would write a diary.

2^nd person is you talking about someone or describing someone words such as ‘WE, HE, SHE, CHRIS WENT TO THE SHOP’

3^RD person is when you explain what someone has done e.g. ‘They, The band’

In an informal mode you would see a lot on slang words presented, it would be very chatty. Slang is used to differentiate people from what that person might say. Most older people don’t know slang which separates the audience.

You are expected to see colloquial and expletive language in an informal mode because the type of approach they are presenting to their readers. In every music magazine the genre, target audience and format influences the choices of a mode address.
