Audience Groups.

We also learned in our first lesson the different catergories people get put into to define audience groups for magazines.

• Suceeders - This is a person who wants products that increase their power and control of life.
• Aspirers - This is a person who wants products to improve there image and they are a fashionable person. Magazines such as Vougue and Cosmo.
• Carers - This is a person who cares for others.
• Acheievers - this is a person who is motivated by their acheievment.
• Radicals - This is a person who goes against traditonal veiws and values.
• Traditionalist - This is a person who stickes to traditional veiws and values, the opposite of a Radical.
• Underacheievers - This is a person who fails to acheive their potential best and doesnt do as well as they expect.

Lesson 1.

In the first lesson we had of media studies we were taught about the different conventions you would normally see on the front page of a magazine. These were;

•  Mast head which helps people know the name of the magazine, this is usually in a large font at the top of the page which catches the eye of the reader
• Price which tells you how much the magazine is
• Bar code this is on every magazine so you can pay for it
• Website address which will have lots more information and weekly topics on to read
• Coverlines these are normally the most interesting stories in the magazine and give you a summary of what they are about with a small picture
• Cover image this is the main image on the magazine and helps the reader determine the genre of the magazine and its normally the main story of the magazine

These are labelled below.

This year.

Throughout this year in media studies we will be producing two projects. The first project is a college magazine front page including a contents page, photo of a student, text and a mast head.  Our second project is a music magazine front page including a contents page and a double page spread of a band.
