Diary Entry 5
Today I Created a video on my blog of me producing my masthead by text, i videod this and sped it up and added music to give a fast paced video on how i created my initial design of my masthead. I did this not only to portray my masthead but to have other forms of media on my blog and to explore other types of media when going through the stages of making my magazine.

Diary Entry 4
This week i strived to get my blog up to date, and completed my photoshoot for my magazine and gathered enough images to create a good idea of what my magzine will look like and what it will be representing, for example i used a lot of star quality when creating my magazine and looked at many previous magazines when i was completing my product research and aimed to create the perfect magazine which meets all my requirements.

Audience Profile
When portraying a poll on my blog for a week or two i recieved certain information helping me decide how to produce and distribute my music magazine, this information also helped my knowledge and understanding of music magazines and there typical audience.
1) Do you read music magazines?
The first poll question recieved only 2 of the 4 answers and with only 4 votes, one being 'No' and 3 being 'Sometimes' therefore telling me i either have to little votes or generally not many people read music magazines and maybe it will need a better distributor or a better source of advertisement? for example either using other sources of media for example 'facebook'.
2)Whats the most important aspect of a music magazine?
The second question on my poll recieved 3 answers, and conveyed a very broad view on this question being the most important features of a music magazine are interviews, music information and posters, so not very specific maybe meaning the audience likes many features of music magazines of they like only certain aspects.
3)What influences you to buy music magazines?
The third question on my poll yet again recieved 3 votes 2 being the cover ad and who's featured and one being friends therefore telling me the front cover is possibly the most important feature of a music magazine or magazine in general, so when producing my magazine ill have to make sure the front cover is as classy and professional as possible and will be eye catching and draw my target audience and actual readers in aswell as creating certain demographic groups.
4)Do you prefer?
When asking this question on my poll i asked if the audience prefered magazines online or on print? and recieved more votes for print, letting me know what my best choice is for creating my magazine and that it will be on print.
5)What makes the main image most appealing?
This was a very important question as the front cover is the most important page on a music magazine and i wanted to know what would draw my audience in the most and what would be most appealing and eye catching. The top two votes were 'star quality' being and looking like a star and letting the audience know your the famous one, and 'clothes' obviously to make you seem a higher class and look more classy and professional and more appealing to the audience, and i will be taking this into consideration when creating my magazine as its very important.
6)What Genre is would you prefer?
This was a very broad question and was asked in interest to see what people thought the most interesting genre of music magazine, i dont think the poll was taken seriously as 'punk' and 'R&B' were top voted, however R&B is acceptable as its very widely sold genre. Where'as punk is not as known anymore and wouldnt be seen on an everyday shop shelf.

Diary Entry 3
This week i started my proposal for my magazine, i portrayed things such as:
· Type of magazine (detailed description)
· Content of magazine
· Style of magazine
· Competition to your magazine
· Target audience (detailed)
· Business features (price, frequency, subscription, cross media synergy, new media
· Why you feel it will succeed.
I completed this task by being very detailed and listing all the codes and conventions of my magzine and everything it will include, i also included my target audience and how im going to make my magazine relate to them, for example by using certain photos that portray star iconography and props and everything that my audience can relate to there lifestyle.
