Plan and develop pre-production materials (U3: P3, M2)

Learning outcome 2 (U3): Be able to plan and develop pre-production materials for an original media product to a client brief.  Mood board This is the mood board for the pop-based magazine I am going to create, it features images of relevant artists, albums, streaming platforms and related stickers. Overall, I have tried to incorporate anything relevant to the world of pop that would additionally appeal to my target audience. My target audience is primarily younger and therefore prefer visual content so I will be applying this fact to my front cover which will display a variety of enticing images.  Fonts Masthead Title and cover lines Articles Above are the final fonts I decided upon for my magazine, the various fonts will be used to entice my target audience and keep a consistent theme for the magazine.   I decided to use the font ‘awesome possum’ for my masthead because of its youthful connotations, I believe this will appeal to my target audience.  ‘Growing garden...

Evaluate the response (D1: U21)

Learning outcome 3(U21): Be able to pitch ideas on a proposed media product and respond to questions. Points which I will act on The black and pink of the logo clash, try changing the colours. I will be acting upon this advice of the client as I firmly agree with it, the murk of the disco ball overtakes the pink tones of the title. I do believe the logo/masthead itself is well thought out, I used the globe/ disco ball to infer a musical theme, an eye catching shape and this helps consumers to easily identify it amongst other magazines within the store. However, the colours used in the logo clash and distract from the actual name of the magazine which gets lost in the disco ball. Therefore, I will edit this in photoshop by altering the colour and changing it to a lighter shade of black/grey as I feel the disco ball should still be a prominent feature without overtaking the title 'pop planet' itself. This will massively benefit my target readers by making the magazine easier to f...

Pitch your ideas (P4, M3: U21)

 Learning Outcome 3 (U21): Be able to pitch ideas on a proposed media product and respond to questions. Feedback (from the client) and what I understood by it 1. Good justifications for the entire presentation. The reasons behind each element of the magazine were well-thought-out and accurate. Each factor had an additional reason for choosing that particular option which was clear and relevant, making the final product better. 2. The brief is for a local magazine, this presentation seems more like a national magazine. My magazine featured big, popular artists who are known on a global scale (e.g. Taylor Swift). These artists are too big for local magazine content and therefore I should try to focus on smaller, more locally-based artists to better fit the brief. These artists will be less known, perhaps my magazine will be able to 'discover' them. 3.The logo: the black and the pink clash a little, it gets lost in the logo. The black on the disco ball image is dark and overbearin...
