Practice picures for my music magazine front cover.

The main purpose to do those picures was to learn how to use lighting and see how much it effects the picure. I took four different picures useing different strenth of light or set them in different position. We see that the first picure has not enought light and the last one hass too much light. Those are all medium shots as I chosed that frameing for my magazine.

ICT Mock up for my music magazine (front,content,double page)

Rock magazine moodboard

I have chosen rock genre for my music magazine. This i because it is my favourite genre of music and it will be interesting to work on. Rock music is also quite popular and there are many existing rock magazines that can be very helpful example for me. My favourite rock band is Evanescence.

Evanescence is a rock band that was created in 1995 and is still playing. The band was created by single artist Amy Lee with a guitarist Ben Moody. In 2003 the band recorded their first full album called Fallen. Their album came out to be sucesfull as they sold over 17 million copys worldwide. There are also many others rock band that are popular. There is a magazine that is called "rock" this magazine focus on old rock. Many people like rock music from 1960's and it doesn't happen so often in othenr genres of music. Rock first appeared in America as "rock and roll" in 1940's, and was most popular in United Kingdom  and USA. Rock was heavy influence by rythym and blues and country mysic.

Readers Profiles similar to demographics, Magazine create a readers profile in order to know characteristics and what they think about the magazine. Reader Profile includes age, gender, vacation and their demographics category. Advanced readers profile also include statistic about their life, this mean that they know on average how many hours per week they spend online. Those detailed statistic help to show what the average reader is interested in. This information helps to montage the magazine.

How is Demographic used in Media ?

Demographics- These Key Words is wildly used in Media and Sociology, demographics mean to group people in order to know they needs. Media institutions use this to create the product that a specific group of people will buy. Media institutions create readers profile that involve all the information about the average customer. Those are linked with the characteristics that the average person who would want to buy it. Because of study of demographics, Media magazines, TV and other media institutions fulfill the reader’s expectations and earn millions. Without demographics media would not have a gender of the magazine or different types of them. Media demographics is considered in all small factors of the magazine, for example a title has to sound cleaver and formal for a business magazine when a woman’s magazine has to be polite and very stereotypical with woman. Those are the needs of society and the individual.

A – Higher managerial, administrative or professional. 3%

B – Intermediate managerial, administrative or professional. 15%

C1 – Supervisory or clerical, junior managerial, administrative or professional. 23%

C2 – Semi-skilled manual workers. 28%

D – Semi-skilled and unskilled manual workers. 18%

E – Casual labourers, unemployed, state pensioners. 13%

This is an example on how media institutions grade people. They have those statistics from the surveys that they take. For example we have a person who works as a factory worker and he earns 15 thousand pounds per year. This person is placed in a C2 category and can only afford 2 pounds for a music magazine, therefore the magazine will spend a certain amount of money so they make a profit.
