From the results of the question one i can say that most people found my product proffessional showing that i achieved my goal and that the research i did was necessary.


2. What do you think i could have done better?
Answers: Front cover, the image is distorted x5
Wrote more on the contentsx2
The coverlines bolder x3

Question 2 shows that my image was minipulated to much or stretched to a sze which was too big proving that the centra image is the most noticable thing on the front cover and one of the main attractions to my target audience.

From the 7/10 who could answer this question i learnt that i should have use a better font then i maybe would have appealed to more target audiences.

5. Do you thin my central image is appropiate?
Yes x10
No x0

Question five shows the effort i put into my my pictures and the minipulating works off because it attracked my audience like i needed it to, and shows that it connates my genre.

Yes x10

The survey shows that everyone thought that my front cover has just the right amount to balance with the picture and to show the content as everyone agreed that i have enough coverlines.

images

This is my minipulated image, i decided to do this because i could then change the background colour on photoshop to make it more interesting for my target audience, it well then appeal to more people and get the consumer to buy it. It also makes it nicer to look at.

The following images are the pictures i am going to choose to use for my front page, contents and my double page spread.

here are the pictures i have taken for my media music magazine

Task Twelve

I have been doing reseach of Mcfly who i will use for double page spread.

i used the official mcfly website, along with the the myspace website. Using this has provided the background infromation i needed. This will give me enough to write a double page spread on Mcfly. The Programes i have collected from previous concerts and appearance. Listesning to the albums to have got an idea of the music.

This is the first draft of my first few paragraphs
Mcfly are known for their creativity, but I wanted to know what was it that made them a success. What was it that the fans couldn’t get enough of? Was it Danny’s pranks, Harry’s sarcasm, Tom’s creativity, or even Dougie’s looks? Something about them made them one of Britain’s best boy bands in the 21st century. I went straight to the source: the fans as well as examining the success so far. I wanted to find out just exactly what it was that made Mcfly the success they are today.

In 2004 Mcfly stormed the charts with the debut single “Five colours in her hair”. It went straight to number one, which started this whole frenzy. The follow up single “Obviously” was just as successful. They quickly became Britain’s most wanted boy band, girls everywhere knew their name. The debut album hit success as soon as it hit shelves in shops. It went straight in at number one making history. Mcfly currently have the record for youngest boy band to have an album go straight to number one, they took this record off the Beatles. Since then they have had four hit albums, as well as raising millions for charity. They have succeeded in this and more in just under five years, but that still doesn’t answer our question. What makes Mcfly so successful? Maybe looking at the band members will help…

The band is made up of four members, Tom Fletcher on guitar and vocals, Danny Jones also on guitar and vocals, Dougie Poynter bass and back up vocals and of course Harry Judd the drummer. Each of these play a vital roll in the Band, without Tom, they wouldn’t exist. Tom originally auditioned for Busted but didn’t make the cut; he then went out and put ads in magazines such as NME. Danny Jones was next after auditioning for the band; he and Tom started working on writing songs. Using anything and everything they could for inspiration such as their accommodation which then became a number one single and a number one album called “Room on the third floor”. Dougie and Harry went to the same audition and both belonged to two different bands at the time.

I got help from:

The Radio:Active dvd, that came with the album
Th official webiste
Twitter www.twitter.com/dannymcfly
The albums booklets
the programes from tours
Some fans

sketches

From the research i have conducted, i have made up a sketch of how my double page spread will look, contents and front cover of my music magazine. I am expecting this to change just a little, but so far here are my drafts
