Mood Board

To create this mood board I looked at my customer profile and picked photos and concepts that I felt would most help me try and put myself in their shoes so I could make the magazine as appealing to them as possible. I chose mastheads and fonts I liked from popular magazine of the same type as I would like to make. I also got pictures of popular bands and artists from the genres my target audience like. I also got pictures from popular brands that my target audience like.

Customer Profile

Evaluation of College magazine

 

1. How does your magazine represent social groups?

I used pictures of students. The first picture is of a student at a computer with a book in front of him which has the connotations of education and knowledge. The second picture I used was a bunch of students around a table which has connotations of socialising, it also featured a boy in a wheel chair and a girl so gives the connotation of diversity. The third picture I used was a student and man shaking hands, the man is wearing a suit so gives connotations of power and authority and of those two groups getting along.

2.What aspects of your work are you pleased with and why?

 I think my front cover came together well, I was worried the slanted mast head would cause issues but it fitted in quite nicely and my use of the same colour scheme as the college came off well

3. What aspects of your work could be improved on and why?

I think that the contents page needs refinement because its a bit unorganised and is not as clear and consise as I would like it to be.
