Final Note -

Dear moderator, 

I have organised my blog so it is easy to follow from one pst to the other since I started media in October. I hope you enjoy looking through my blog were you will find all my Research and planning posts, finished products and evaluation.

Many thanks, Beth :) 

Final Product

Here are the very final drafts of my Indie Music Magazine CLASH. 

As you can see I have further altered my front cover, rearranging the tag lines and sticker to fill out the page more, as well as adding the extra tag line "Glastonbury Line Up Revealed" to entice my target audience. Above "LAUREN ENTWISTLE"I added "Britain's Indie Queen" in a box above, continuing the box layout most Indie magazines have, as well as giving the readers more information about the main feature on the front cover. All of the new text has been given a drop shadow effect to help lift it off the page more. 

I have made no other alterations on the other parts of my magazine (contents and double page spread page).

Final Evaluation - Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Final Evaluation - Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?


I used a Canon DSLR camera to take my photographs for that feature throughout my magazine:


Some techniques I used in photoshop:



Other technologies I have used (this includes Imovie, blogger, prezi, youtube, powerpoint, slideshare, iPhoto, social media, indesign, flickr, make a gif and voice thread):

Final Evaluation - Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

Final Evaluation - Question 4

What would be the audience for your media product? Why?

To the left is a drawn picture of a person I would expect to be from my target audience.
I have drawn Abby, a female aged 16, which is appropriate as that is the age I am aiming for. This girl would be from a working class background, with the occupation of attending college, studying for her A-levels. Because of this, she might not have an aspiration in life as she is still young, but will become something unique and against the obvious.
She isn't wearing any extravagant clothing, only a simple dark playsuit. This is very similar to the outfit my main model Lauren wore, displayed on my front cover.
This person is also wearing docs, a very popular footwear Indie lovers seem to wear, according to my target audience research and everyday encounters with people who like this sort of music.
Another key thing I have drawn to represent someone from my target audience, is that the girl has her hair down (again similarly to all of my models). This could represent her as being easy going and free, through the saying 'let your hair down'. This completely represents my magazine as the name, CLASH, is all about clashing with society and being true to whole you are. This is furthermore illustrated by the tag line 'LIVE. INDEPENDENT.'

Below is a gif that I made through makeagif.com showing some of my own photographs as well as some taken of the band chvrches, showing similar conventions of what a Indie music lover might dress like:
