feedback on draft one

MY OPINION 

This is my first draft for my music magazine, I believe that my front cover is pleasing to look at because of the colour and the bold masthead. I also think the costume and make-up on my model make my magazine work really well as the image matches the personality to my genre, I also think that the contrast in colour from my model is eye catching.

However, I think that the background colours and costume colours make the front page to basic as there isn’t any colours that pop. I also need to cut my models sock out of the corner as it makes the image look unrealistic. Another issue is the text, I need to choose fonts that relate to each other and I need to add more text at different sizes to make it appeal more interesting to look at.

PEER ASSESSMENT 

  1. Likes the colour
  2. Image relates to genre
  3. Needs more writing
  4. Make some text bigger as it’s hard to read
  5. Place image more central and possibly on masthead
  6. Change barcode
  7. Add more colour

So…I’m a media prosumer

Media is used for many different things. for example entertainment, social interaction, personal identity and information, these 4 gratifications come into Bumler and Katz. As an example ..

  • entertainment- You tube or Spotify
  • social interaction- Snap chat or Facebook
  • personal identity- Instagram posts or famous people
  • information- BBC news

Blumler and katz theory states that we use social media in many different ways, it states that we use the media to our satisfactory needs for example we use Netflix to entertain ourselves and watch different types of movies such as romance to comedies. We also use the media to identify ourselves for instance watching models on Instagram and looking at their fashion. We use it for information. blumler and katz link all media into how we use it and what we use it for.

 

The media that I use fits into the 4 sections of the Blumler and Katz theory, for example Call the midwife fits into the entertainment, social interaction and personal identity as I can talk about it with friends about the episode and watch it for entertainment.
