Media Studies

This is my revision for my table of contents, the first table of contents is on the left and the new one is on the right. As I was making my revisions I didn't like the photos being on the right side of the articles and the page numbers, so I moved it around and added in new photos that added variation to the page. I also moved the title to the top of the page where there was a bit more open space.  

 Here is my first cover page and the revised cover page. I had changed my cover page quite a bit, I did not like the set up that I had for my cover page, so I tried something different and came up with the cover page on the right.

The Doritos vs. Mountain Dew commercial - targets young teens and adults with rap music in the commercial, but it also ties into the older generations with some older songs that are familiar to the audience. The Jeep commercial - is targeting the people who watched and loved the old Jurassic Park movies by showing a scene of one of the first Jurassic park movies with a new jeep that the main character is driving, this commercial is also used to promote the new Jurassic Park movie that is coming out soon.

The photo shoot this past weekend went well. I got lots of photos.

The over all feed back I got was good, my peers seemed to like the idea of the magazine. Although I was told to add some color to my subheadings for the featured articles because the cover looks rather boring with just black and white colored text, also to try to find a more exciting font. So I plan to play around with the fonts and the colors to see what I get out of it. I was also told to justify my columns along with maybe add some borders to my photos and make them look more natural in the magazine.

My magazine is a music magazine that is targeting young adults and teenagers that listen to music such as pop punk, punk, metal, and heavy metal. My magazine is also targeting those who like to go to concerts. My magazine challenges conventions by using photos taken by their readers that was taken at concerts, hence the use of selfies and the pictures of people meeting band members. rather than using professionally taken photos of the artists which makes it harder to connect to the audience.
