The mast head is featured at the top in bold, white writing, this makes it stand our more and grab the readers attention. They have also included a vinyl disc within the design of the title so it represents the elements of DJ'ing. The way the magazine is layered with a black and white background and a colourful top layer, helps to reflect the style of music that is being advertised. DJ's tend to mix up their music to make it random, like the patterns on the magazine. Random colours and patterns have been used in order ot make it more creative. The colours from the pattern also flow into the writing to link it all together so it looks more attractive. This also helps to attract their target audience as it is a young, modern design. The pattern covers most of the DJ's face, but the eyes and lips. This draws extra attention towards his features and makes you engage eye contact with him. This invites us in to read the magazine as he is looking straight at us. The use of superlatives and enigma codes within the text help to influence the audience to buy the magazine. For example 'who is the new king?' leaves us with a question which we want to find out, this will encourage the customer to pick up the magazine. 'The most exciting top 100 ever' suggests you can't get any better which would mean the reader would want to read 'the best'.

ReplyDeleteadd your pitch.
sort out your blog labels. You are not using them effectively enough eg planning, research, magazine cover, contents, double page spread should be used as well as coursework which is just too vague and general.
your blog looks really messy in terms of layout. Your music player is too big and looks cut up.
the theme you have chosen is very old fashioned. It doesn't suit the tone of the work you are trying to produce.
you need to have some sort of consistency in the size of the images that you include in any given post. For aesthetic reasons if three images appear in a post together they should be similar in size. if not spilit the post in to 3 parts.
Make sure any magazine covers you include are complete not cropped/ cut up as the Dj mag image is.
You need to include a lot more information to achieve the highest possible grade for your planning and research.
See http://lutterworthasricken0910.blogspot.com/
as an example of an excellent blog.
Your pitch was good and you answered questions well. You need to post the results of the feedback on your blog. You then need to show how you intend to use the feedback to make your magazine work.
