    NEA Part 6 - Product Style Profile

    In this post i will be learning the importance of sketching and planning my magazine. I believe that sketching is important as the sketches will influence my stylistic decisions and reflect my final product piece. DRAFT 1 The above images are a first draft of the magazine cover and double page spread. I asked the opinions of other students who gave back positive and negative feedback. They said that the cover page was too messy and crowded so the reader cannot focus on the main story. Therefore on my next draft i need to have less individual stories. As well as this, on my double page spread the pictures and text are all over the place.

    NEA BRIEFS

    K: The requirements for each of the briefs set by OCR. U: How to approach the chosen brief, including writing the statement of intent. BAT: Choose a brief and start planning what to write in the statement of intent. CO: Use media terminology (all areas of the theoretical framework) in your written and verbal communication. I chose Brief 1, where we have to create a front cover and a double page spread article for an informative educational magazine aimed at an audience of 10-13 year old.  While working on this, i want to develop more of my Photoshop skills. I want to learn how to add different parts of pictures into one to form an image altogether that fits my magazine theme. I already know the basic outline of a magazine and how it should be laid out. I know a few photography skills so i can apply that to my magazine when choosing images to add into it. ——————————- Mind Map created by Ellie Chan with GoConqr ———————————

Using the Blumler and Katz theory, we could argue that the target audience would buy this magazine in order to seek information or personal identity. For example, we may find a particular person that we are interested in and can relate to. Using the Blumler and Katz theory, this magazines shows the 4 basic needs in the uses and gratifications theory.
