Using the Blumler and Katz theory, this magazines shows the 4 basic needs in the uses and gratifications theory.
Personal relationships: This Vogue magazine advertises fashion to the targeted audience. It allows the reader to acknowledge the latest beauty tips, lifestyle and fashion trends that are popular which they can then talk about with their friends.

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 ———————————
