digital vs print
DIGITAL VS PRNT
These comparisons should include:
Print magazines were a popular way of keeping up with the news around the world, costing at £5+ for a magazine. The production of a magazine is very expensive about 112.50 per page. So a 64-page plus cover magazine would cost 7.650 for production design with art direction. (information taken from print magazine cost) but as technology ha developed we now often read news through “digital magazines”.
Digital magazines are a better way of catching up with the latest news of what’s happening through your phone (but you will need to buy a subscription of 7.99 a month). Buying a digital magazine subscription or a single digital issue means you'll benefit from being able to download the latest issue of your favourite magazine instantly to your tablet or smartphone. ... When you purchase a single digital issue, you'll be able to read the single issue on your device instantly. In summary: with at least $300 you should be able to produce a digital magazine and also distribute to an extent. (information taken from digital magazine costs). the limitations of having digital magazines is that they are only available if you're able to get on the website on your phone, if your phone runs out of batter then you will not be able to look at the magazines online.
distribution
when print magazines get distributed, its often done by the mail, through sales at the news stands, bookstores, or other vendors, or through free distribution at selected pick-up locations.
Digital magazines get around the world through the internet for example there are many websites which have a number of categories involving different types of magazines.
Target audience opportunities for print/digital magazines
Digital magazines can have everyone as a target audience as everyone has the accessibility to it, this is beneficial to the digital magazines-companies as there will be many more people buying it. Getting digital magazines is also very quick no matter where you are. Digital magazines are practically with you wherever you go.
Print magazines on the other hand, have a more specified target audience, which would be anyone who does not have internet which could be any one at any time. But mostly there are not a lot of people who buy print magazines these days anymore. Print magazines are very time consuming and can easily be damaged or stained making it un readable, for example spilling a cup of coffee or when the magazine gets delivered through mail and a dog grabs it and ruins it.
Technical requirements of print/digital magazines
The requirements of print magazines would mainly be the colour on each page and the amount of colour which involves a bit it of money being wasted. The production of a magazine is very expensive about 112.50 per page. So a 64-page plus cover magazine would cost 7.650 for production design with art direction. (information taken from print magazine cost)
The requirements of making a digital magazine would be money, lots of money. This money would be used to add customisations to the magazines website, for example, adverts. But the benefit of spending all this money is that you will be able to get it back, Online publications generate revenue through banner ads, click-per-pay programs, links, affiliate programs, mailing lists and editorial opportunities.

DENOTATION –
Marshall Bruce Mathers III, known professionally as Eminem, is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, record executive, film producer, and actor. He is consistently cited as one of the greatest and most influential rappers of all time and was labelled the "King of Hip Hop" by Rolling Stone magazine. Eminem had recently take a break form his rapping career but has now returned with a bunch of new songs. This is why the side line is ‘the comeback that stunned the world. Having a very long unscheduled break and returning to make instant song hits is ‘stunning’.
MISE-EN-SCENE –
I this image we do not see a lot of items which are in the category of mise-en-scene, but we can see that Eminem (the rapper) is wearing an outfit which could be a costume probably because some singers or rappers are given certain costumes for the type of song they will be singing or rapping. In this image we see lighting, we can tell that the lighting is above him as his face is exposed the most as he is looking up. This connotes that he could be in a stage which leads to the thought of him performing live to an audience. The camera angle which was used is a mid long shot – this is from the subject’s knees to his head. This is done because the audience want a close up on Eminem but they also want to see more of his surroundings.
Typography-
The type of fonts used usually create a way of how the readers read it or how they would see it at first glance. In this image we do not see any serif fonts, there are only san serif fonts but this would make sense as the magazine is about the unexpected comeback of a famous rapper Eminem. The fonts used are mainly all bold and all are in capital letters, the use of capital letters is to create how something is said, either its said with excitement or with disappointment. With excitement the capital letters would be included as well as those letters being in bold. This allows everything to stand out on the magazine and says whether its important or not. For this magazine for instance everything is important.
Target audience – Eminem’s target audience is mainly age 13-30 this would make sense because the audience would be neither too young or too old. The gender would no matter, a lot of female and males listen to Eminem and still do, the ethnicity could play a part as Eminem has a certain style of rapping which could or could or could not offend certain people. Eminem has a lot of songs which have different themes to it so this could create more of an audience as some people might not like a certain song but like the other.

Gestures are a form of nonverbal communication in which visible bodily actions are used to communicate important messages, either in place of speech or together and in parallel with spoken words. Gestures include movement of the hands, face, or other parts of the body. but nowadays hand gestures are used in multiple way and each gesture could have a visual meaning as well as a meaning in text. hand gestures are very common in photos of artists as the artists usually have a claimed or very much used a certain type of hand gesture which people might know them by or be reminded of the gesture when they hear the artists name.
SITTING DOWN
many artists sit down during photos but sitting down is no just an element of comfortability, it allows us to see or try to figure out a persons personality using the way he or she sits as a clue. there are also many different styles of sitting and each one could mean or say something else about the person or his motive.
CROSSED ARMS
a lot of photos of many different people involve them crossing their arms , this type of pose could have an element of closure due to the fact that crossing your arms usually means that they are closed for argument which acts like a barrier . people could also cross there arms mainly because it looks good with the outfit they are wearing.
NVC
close ups on the artists face gives the viewers a good look at them, close ups usually creates a mood depending on the style of the face. close ups on actors allows us to get an image of what their music is like, the clothes they are wearing could help with that situation.
RAISED ARMS
raising arms in picture could be used as an element of emotion, maybe the person doing it is happy or he is hyping a crowd. raised arms has a very positive effect to it.

Currently for my single page magazine cover i have applied the basic conventions
and added simple boxes to represent where each convention will go and what that convention will be. I know that i need the change the fonts in the future because the classic white and red is too standard and i want a font/colour which
can stand out due to those two aspects.

As i progressed i have added new conventions into my magazine single paged cover, i have also changed what the background of these conventions as my magazine background in the future will be white and the two colours will mix together and i also have a new font which will be in the net update

I have now aded my on site background to my magazine , i have added my custom HYPE font for my magazine cover as well as a number of magazine conventions with the blue and orange colour which goes with the white background. I also added in a barcode on the magazine to add a realistic affect to it. Currently i have yet to decide a colour because i want one which connotes to a lot of positivity around the magazine in terms of how enlightening the magazine will be.

I have now added in margins to my magazine outskirts to help me
position where the magazine will be cut off and where i need to move my magazines conventions. i also have rotated some pieces of my text to create something new to look at rather than simple texts.
I have added in a custom logo to represent this magazines genre and its visual representation. there is also a quote from the artists which gives the readers something to be interested in as to what the artist wants to say. and i have added in logos of other social media platforms which tells the readers that this magazine is spoken about and has its own media on these platforms. currently the colour scheme is good due to the fact that there is not too much red and there is not too much black which does not make the magazine plain. In the magazine i have included a masthead, cover line, selling line, main image, dateline, barcode and a QR code. i did not have the text to close to each other because i wanted the readers to look around rather than having everything in one place.

effect to the rapper. 'his signature, his approval'. All magazine conventions have been added in. I have added in some logos and shapes near the masthead which will catch the readers attention to it as they will be looking around it at said logos and shapes.

I have removed some shapes and repositioned my logo and re sized my masthead. I have aded in some rectangles which go through my mast head but they are behind it which creates a more visual effect to the title of the magazine. I have also used the eye dropper tool to change the colour of the rectangles into a darker red so the HYPE masthead is the brightest red and the biggest on the page. I have made it so not everything is s close together, making it look like an actual magazine.
the darkish red connotes to courage and this goes with my magazine which is about an upcoming dj who stood out and started from nowhere and ended up where he is now. I have included many the conventions that make a magazine a magazine and therefore I think that with these conventions installed within the magazine it makes it stand out as well as blend in so I think that this magazine is unique due the fact that it stands out in many ways. I have used many tools in photoshoot to create this magazine this includes the magic wand tool, to crop out certain aspects and make it fit in with the magazine and I have rasterised only some of the layers because I don't want everything to be the same I want difference in this magazine which will impact the readers views on it in my opinion.

I have used many tools in photoshoot to create this magazine this includes the magic wand tool, to crop out certain aspects and make it fit in with the magazine and I have rasterised only some of the layers because I don't want everything to be the same I want difference in this magazine which will impact the readers views on it in my opinion.
double page cover magazine.

I have replaced some of the conventions with the real icons/conventions that i will be in the magazine finale. Including my masthead/ magazine logo and date. next update i will arrange what i can and make those things stand out together with the colour i chosen. I want parts of the magazine to be more enlightening than the other parts and i will do this by re sizing, changing font to a font which creates a clear view. and colour which connotes to
some positive things.

Here i have changed where i will be including where i will be applying my texts.
i have used the eyedropper tool to make my masthead in front of the rectangles by rasterising the layers then applying the eyedropper tool onto the masthead.

Here i have added in shapes which will help me with the positioning of my double page article question and answers. I have also made the shapes the same height/ length to maintain alignment with the text within. I have also aligned my texts to make everything straight . This will make the magazine look professional and not all messed up.i also have added in two big chunks of writing which will give the readers something to read as well as looking a the visuals in the magazine. I might also change some of the colours in the magazine which would highlight different areas of said magazine. In the magazine i have included questions and answers and i believe that the answers will intrigue the readers as they will or might find the responses to the questions rather interesting.

Here i have rasterised multiple layers so i could give them a customised font. ( white to red and black to red) which is seen on the masthead and the borders
throughout the magazine cover. I have done this to add some difference onto my magazine and not for it to have a plain colour like red. This creates a good visual effect at it may interest he readers that much more. The fonts also make it so it looks like everything stands out and this effect will allow the readers to be more curious looking through the magazine or the cover.

Here i have added an image of my artist and i have made it
so it look like he his leaning onto the edge of the magazine and pointing a one of the texts . I have used the magic lasso tool to crop out the person from the surroundings .
I have also rearranged the barcode/social media logos to the side of the magazine to make it look better. i need to include the page numbers and the drop capital which is important
for double page magazine texts.

For my last update i have added page numbers and i have also added in a drop capital for the texts. I have included signature to show the readers that that is his signature. Making the magazine in a way more famous.
I have used red for most of the magazine because red connotes to courage and the white connotes to purity.
I want to make this magazine as positive as it can be.
for this double page magazine i have included many conventions which required different tools from photoshop for example i have rasterised layers for the masthead and i have used the magic lasso tool to cut out my artist from his background and placed him on my magazine. I have learnt how to do the drop capital and how to change the type of fonts on a text (masthead) i have included many of the conventions both basic and advanced to make my magazine contain as much as a normal magazine would whether thats selling line, subject name, man image, quote, barcode, masthead, page number, columns. i have what ever is needed to make a magazine a magazine

Evaluation
Single paged magazine - As i have finished my magazine i have thoughts on what made it good and what i could have improved on it. My single page magazine was my best one out of the two because of its layout. I had found a good layout to the magazine and that made the single paged magazine my favourite. My single paged magazine involved a lot of good conventions which made it look good, the layout was not too much and it also wasn't too little. This would be good as the viewers would find it interesting. The typography was good and it went with the colour that i had picked for the magazine . The mise en scene was not over used in the magazine because it would make it boring or just too much.
double page magazine - After my completion of my double page magazine i have realised what made it good and what didn't. The mise on scene was quite good as it was not too close together and that would make the viewers have to look round the magazine to read what they want to read. The image was good because i had it cropped and i made it so it would look like my artist is leaning on the side of the magazine .The text were not as good as i expected them to be, they didn't look similar to each other and that made the cover look unprofessional. The logo of my magazine was good and for the double i had made it so the logo would be cut by the two pages by placing it in the middle of the margins. Some of the social media icons also did not look as good as i wanted. But some of the conventions were good in terms of there positioning in the magazine.
