The audience feedback which I carried out with Hannah was done during class time in a small room. We did this to ensure both of us know what other people think of our magazine, so we can make changes on it and hopefully improve. The audience feedback was done with Hannah because she is part of my target audience. As I targeted ages of 16-25, I thought it would be appropriate to use someone who is at an age between those, and get feedback on what she thought was good, or what could have improvements. From my audience feedback I did make changes to my magazine, and I feel like it benefited me because it made me feel a lot happier when I handed in my final piece at a higher standard.

Double page spread Codes and Conventions
Double Page Spread Codes and Conventions
This piece of work proved to be an idea of what I was needing to include in my magazine. As I was told to analyse the different double page spreads, it became more aware to me what exactly had to be included, and how I needed to start to plan it. Throughout the planning stages of creating our magazines, I realised the importance of referencing back to this presentation to remind me of what is included in professional magazines, and how I can use the high standard and analysis I carried out, to help to improve my own work.

Contents page codes and conventions
Contents Cover Codes and Conventions
This was a way for me to look back on the work that I had done in the planning stages of our magazines. I needed to make sure that I was looking at what was crucial to have in my magazine and what makes a magazine as successful as they are. It also proved to me that the standards of the magazines are high, therefore, I need to match it, and I could do this by carrying out the same analysis for my own magazine. This would be time consuming but I feel like it should be done to ensure I am including all the right aspects that is needed to create a high standard and professional looking magazine.

Existing Mastheads
Existing Mastheads
The existing mastheads presentation just groups all of the different magazines I could think of which are at a popular interest and a high demand. These are just a few that I collected to show how their logo is set out and how powerful it is when the reader sees it.

Existing Names
Existing Names
Both of existing names and institution have been included within this table. It is an easier way for me to set it out, where I can see how the different institutions have impacted on how the magazines are run. Also, it gives me a good idea of which institutions distribute certain magazines for the reason that it depends on context.

Representation of artists
Representation
This piece of work was interesting for me to do because it made me think differently about the images than I normally would. Through all of the analysis that I have carried out when looking at the images and writing about it in detail, I realised that it is important that the artist is perceived in the way that you would want them to be. It is important to give off the right message when choosing your model and your images in general.When I was choosing my images I looked back to this presentation to see what I had said as a reader of the magazine.

Front cover - Codes and Conventions
Front Cover Codes and Conventions
This was part of the research part of developing and planning into what we wanted our magazine to be line. I looked into the codes and conventions of magazines of the same genre as mine, to see what was needed and what I could take from it as knowledge which could be applied for my own work.I found this really helpful as I then understood what was important for me to include within the development of my front cover of my magazine. It also gave me new ideas on what can be done and what I could look into doing within my own magazine. Taking ideas from these magazines will help to make my own magazine a higher standard and look more professional.

Group magazine analysis
This was a presentation that we did to our class when we first started to learn about the codes and conventions. In my group was Monique and Emma. We analysed the double page spread, contents page and front cover of some magazines. It made us aware of what we will have to include in our own magazine, making sure that we are looking into detail of what we are including. It was a good lesson for us to have as it also showed the depth you should go into when making your magazine and how much meaning everything has when you think about it properly.
Double page spread analysis
Double Page Spread
This was my research into double page spreads. I did this in detail because I knew that when it came to making my own magazine, I could look back on what I had written here, and what I think is important for each part of the page. I wrote a lot in this particular analysis because it was clear to me what parts were powerful and had meaning behind it. I did this for homework and it was part of my researching part of developing my knowledge of codes and conventions. As I was new to the course, learning about codes and conventions was new to me, therefore, I thought the detail I went into in this task would benefit me in the future when I could reflect it within my own work.

Contents page analysis
Contents Page
The contents research that I have carried out is very similar to my double page spread and front cover analysis. It was allowing me to look in my detail to the different points which are included within a magazine to make it more successful. I also learnt that the codes and conventions can determine the standard that your work can be perceived to be by a reader or viewer. From looking at a range of different contents pages, it made me want to make my contents page at a really high standard, therefore, when I do start my magazine, I will adapt and incorporate my knowledge from this task within.

Front cover analysis
Annotation
My front cover analysis was in a lot less detail than my double page spread and contents pages were. It shows how much I have developed over a short period of time, in how I can learn about the different codes and conventions which are included within each magazine, and how it makes it successful. Even though this is in little detail, it states clearly what is important to include. You see this straight away when looking at my presentation. I can still look back on this when making my magazine as I can keep track of what I have included on my front cover which has been included on this one below.
