Explanation following your mood boards.
The type of magazines i choose for my mood board were make-up, fashion and flowers. I choose these areas because i am interested in make up and fashion, i also done flowers as i find them very pretty and interesting to look at. The type of magazine i decided to create myself is a fashion magazine because i am very amazed by some fashion techniques and i love the photos and would love to make my own magazine of that subject or genre.In a fashion magazine the design elements you have to include on your magazine front cover to match the genre you are aiming for are you have a main photo of a model than a title,barcode,headlines a big bold catching head lines and sutual but very contrasting colours.

Evaluation of the different tv listings magazines..
We were given three magazines to analyse involving the layout and the same and differences.
Radio times was the most expensive tv choice varied in the middle and tv quick the cheapest of the bunch. Radio times was a simple layout didn't have big heading and pugs everywhere, tv choice and tv quick dont have much difference in the both but are alot different to Radio times as are very compact and full with headers borders pug ect.The Target audience for Radio times is more targeted to the higher class of audience and tv quick and choice more targeted to the family sort of range.

Tv Choice Good And Bad Points:
Tv Choice Good And Bad Points:
This magazine is the cheapest of the bunch It carries a decent collection of the key channels and highlights Freeview channel numbers well for easy reference. Channels such as Sky1, ITV2 and E4. For the price it is ranged at it is very good but digital channels are a little cluttered and crowded making the magazine a tad messy.

Tv Quick Good And Bad Points:
Tv Quick Good And Bad Points:
This magazine seems to lack less quantity and costs twice as much as tv choice with eight less pages but with the same listings. But I found it a very quick way to find out information on the channels with less hassle and a non complicated way.

Radio Times Good & Bad Points..
Radio Times Good And Bad Points:
This magazine is very well presented publication, The listings are clear and well organised, but a little dry in some areas, in my view it is best for radio listeners with a range of a whole two pages for each of the main 5 channels. There's also the best coverage of radio, with the BBC stations, plus Talk Sport, Absolute Radio and Classic FM. Although the front cover seemed a tad over crowded the appearance looked very appealing and It would deffinatly attract me to read it.

Tv listing evaluation 2
TV magazine project.
We were asked to create a tv listings magazine front cover, we analysed three different front covers including tv choice, tv quick and radio times to figure out the target market and the social class that they were aiming for.
The magazine I choose to do was stated as middle class around the price of 99p to £1 I got my ideas from TV choice and analysed to my best ability. I focused on what I would like to see on a magazine in this sort of range and designed it myself but also had a lot of ideas in my head from the other three magazines, baring in mind not to over crowd and make the magazine go down into the lower class section by adding to much detail and getting the colour coordination completely wrong and lots more. The reason I chose this sort of class of magazine was because that the sort of magazine I would be interested in reading myself.
The main feature and focus on my front cover was ‘The only way is Essex’ which is an itv2 programme, which I know lots about and is quite a popular programme and many people are talking about it!
I used quite a stall chose of colours to blend in with the main picture, and tried very hard not to make it become overcrowded and tacky.

In class we were asked to find the answers to these 5 questions, the 5 questions are..
What is the most popular game console in the class, and the top 5 games most played?
What radio station to most people listen to and who is there favourite dj?
The number of people visit the cinema, and what film did they see last?
How many people use satellite television, and how many hour they watch on average a week?
What social networking site people use and how many contacts do they have on it?
The answers I found out for the most popular game console which resulted in ‘the wii’ the most popular radio station was ‘radio 1’ the lasted film people watched at the cinema was ‘step up 3d’. 13 people use satellite television which an average of 5 hours a day. The most popular social networking site ended up as facebook with people having 500 contacts minimum!
I collected this information by getting the whole class to fill in a questionnaire. The teacher then photocopied the questionnaires. We used the data from that to fill in our questionnaires on the macs using the questions from paragraph one.
In order to get the answers to the questions we sorted out the questions on the spreadsheet and then counted how many there was. For example to get the ‘Most popular game console in the class’ we used the sort function and then clicked on what question we wanted to find out which got them all in order so was more easy to read then we counted how many there was.

Tv listings Evaluation.
Our task was too design and create our own tv listings magazine front cover based on the research we did. We researched three other tv listing magazines (tv choice radio times and tv quick.)
I choose to design a lower class magazine around the price to 99p- £1.00. I got my ideas from TV choice and analysed to my best ability.
The reason why I choose this sort of class magazine was because, this magazine would catch my eye in a shop because it would be something that I would read myself, as it don’t look boring and crowded its spreaded around. The main feature of my magazine was ‘The only way is essex’ which is a very popular hit on the itv2 channel and has had a lot of hits I also used dark colours, and contrasting colours too catch the readers eye, however, I didn’t use bright, bold colours, because I think they make the magazine look cheap I also used a lot of shadowing and bold text. On a copy of tv choice there was a lot of picture and borders of text including what else is on television in the week, I used this idea and added it to my front cover as I found it very effective.
