Preliminary Task
Final Magazine
Looking back at my preliminary task I can see the difference from my final magazine pages, they have been constructed in much more professional way whereas my first newsletter is at a much lower standard due to the fact that I had done little research into my target audience when making my primary task I also didn’t not know the codes and conventions which help to structure a magazine to make it look professional, therefore it does not look as good as the end result where I had done a lot of react; existing text, surveys and focus groups.
I can now see the impotence of the research and planning process in this project as taking in to account both magazines I can see that by researching into my audiences I gained a lot of information of their like and dislikes, hobbies, dreams and aspiration, this allowed me to construct my magazine to appeal to them, and therefore entice them to buy my magazine. However as I did little research when constructing my preliminary task you can tell I have not appealed to my audience therefore they cannot identify my newsletter or feel connected therefore they will not be attracted to buy it.
I have also learnt the importance of code and conventions as I researched existing text I could see what was needed to create a professional and recognizable brand. The way a magazine is coded is extremely important as it reflects the target demographic and if it does not apparel to them they wont feel connected or identify the brand therefore will not buy my product. With my preliminary task I did little research into codes and convention therefore the newsletter is boring and not exciting I have not used any theory’s such as ’uses and gratification, or Maslow’s hierarchy of needs’ therefore it will not attract my audience.
By not adding theory’s such as; Maslow’s hierarchy I could not find out my audiences want and desires also their dreams and aspirations therefore I was not able to appeal to that audience as I did not know what they like. In my preliminary task I did not use Photoshop therefore my newsletter quality of professionalism is at a low slandered compared to my final magazine.
Through the use of extensive research and planning I was able to create a professional magazine as I was able to find out information on my audience and also on how to construct magazine by using theories and codes and conventions
