Progress

During next session I plan to create a comparison post for the magazine front cover to ensue that I have stayed within my plans for the magazine.

Reflection

This lesson, I have managed to add the the cover lines and the essential information along with the sub-images and I have also added a shoutout about winning tickets to engage my target audience more and encourage them to buy the magazine.

Magazine Update

In today's lesson, I plan to add the cover lines to my magazine and add the essential information that I hadn't completed in last lesson.

Front Cover Progress

This is the start of the front cover that I am creating for my magazine. To make the magazine seem as though it is more popular, I have made the masthead stand behind the dominant image. I have also started to create my essential information section however, next lesson I plan to add some social media websites to make it more accessible by a larger audience.

Photos

This is a link to all of the photos that I have taken for my magazine. I do not intend to use all of the photos featured as there is too many to be used. The photos I have taken appeal to my target audience as some of them include clothing that is often worn by fans of indie rock music and the other photos include music acts that are included in the genre. I will not be using all of these images as some of them did not come out as well as expected and a few could be associated with other magazine genres meaning that the images would not increase the target audience as much as they could.

Clothing Progress

Follow Natalie's board Fashion on Pinterest.

 I have created a pinterest board that includes the various styles that people who enjoy indie rock music are often found in. I have done this as it helped with the development of  information for my magazine so I am aware of what would appeal most to my target audience of indie rock music fans.

Semiotics

There are signifiers used throughout my magazine that help to create the signified finale of a magazine aimed at indie rock fans. Semiotics comes into place at this point as all the features in my magazine all refer to the target audience and they help to engage the audience to ensure that they will enjoy and purchase the magazine.
