STATEMENT OF INTENT


My Magazine will be for white males and females ages 10-13 years old. The target audience will be the reformers. I will be targeted to people who are interested in marine animals like dolphins, different types of fish or penguins. This magazine is for people who have are enthusiastic and hold a significant importance towards learning about the several marine animals found around the world.  Additionally, my magazine will target audiences that are sincerely concerned about people who want to learn more about the welfare of dolphins and how they are being endangered because of humans. My magazine will also include a free ticket to an animal sanctuary which appeals to the target audience who find zoos inhumane. The colour of my cover will be green; this can represent growth, safety and environment. This can relate to how my magazine is trying to spread awareness to not let dolphins suffer at the hands of humans. The harsh colours of the dolphin can represent how they are becoming endangered and could one day be potentially extinct.

In my double page spread there is an image of a white bulky guy, in his late 30s, with a pot belly who is dressed up in a zookeeper’s uniform. It is a low angle shot where the man is facing down so the man looks like he is looking down on everyone and has authority over the animals. From his mean looking demeanour you can infer that he doesn’t treat the animals the right way and mishandles them. As well as this his bulky figure can show how he easily overpowers them. I picked Leonardo DiCaprio as the person to interview due to his wide range of people from different age groups knowing him. In addition his participation in several classics has meant he has become a very influential person in society. For my background i chose a light blue with a dark blue polka dot pattern. This can replicate the bubbles in water, which can relate to my theme of dolphins since they live in the ocean.

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. To improve this i must keep my pictures on one side instead of alternating them.    DRAFT 2 In my second draft, overall i got positive feedback but there were some improvements needed. On the cover page, the title should be bigger in order for the audience to read it and catch their attention. As well on my double pa...

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 ———————————

NEA Part 3 - Media Theories Research

In this post i am going to be looking at the different media theories that there are. Therefore, in my own media text i can add media theories into them. 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. 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. Surveillance: The audience has an inside view on the lives of celebrities. In this certain magazine, readers have the latest news on Kendall Jenner's social media success. Diversion: Working women can escape the stress from work an...
