I chose the Magazine brief aimed at 10 - 13 year old's.

What are the minimum requirements for your chosen production?

At least 5 original images, a front cover containing:
Original title, Strapline, Cover price barcode and edition number, one main cover image and 3 cover lines (one linking to the double page spread).
Double page spread:
Headline stand-first and sub-headings, Original images (one main article and 3 other images), Feature article approximately 300 words that links to a cover line on the previous page.

What is the target audience as prescribed in the brief?

At an audience of 10 - 13 year old's.

What is your target audience for the product you're creating? (this needs to link to the audience profiling post).

I will be aiming at a 10 - 13 year old audience of boys to try to boost their learning experience and teach new interesting facts.

"In this task I'll explore different types of images, fonts and colours to use in my Magazine.  I shall be looking at different connotations and how these affect the way my target audience might view my product.  By creating this mood board I will also be exploring creative ways of how to present my work".

• How did they helped you define content for your product?

         When defining my product I thought of resources that I had available to me such as 

         my knowledge of the education system.

• What will be your overall colour scheme of your production?

         I will use bright colours such as blue, red or green for the colour scheme of the

         product.

• What kind of images/shots would you use in your production?

         I will use mostly close up or mid shots in my magazine.

• What kind of fonts would you use in your production?

         I will use big bold fonts for the headline in my production as well as small fonts for the 

         text.

• What kind of mise-en-scene would you use in your production?

         I will use mise-en-scene to highlight areas of pictures that I want the readers attention           drawn to.

• What kind of intertextuality would you use in your production?

         I will use intertextuality to link all the facts and topics of my magazine together.

• Which media theory(ies) are you likely to use in your production?

         I will use Blumler and Katz theory of uses and gratification to attract parents of young           children.
