MAGAZINE NAMES

after choosing my genre of Bubble-gum pop which is aimed at younger children i have now started to think of different names.

I have come up with three possible names for my magazine

1.  My first name i have thought of is 'Gum' which is short and simple so it could become quite catchy. Also because my genre is Bubble gum pop i have chosen the Gum from that.
2. My second option for my name was Pop, however i am going of this idea as Pop can offer a wide variety so if someone looks at my magazine and shes pop they may think automatically it includes all types of pop which it doesnt.
3. My third name option is Bubble-Gum, i have decided that i will be using this name for my magazine. i have chosen this name as my genre is bubble gum pop so i think the name is quite catchy it also tells the reader from the off what my genre is.

TARGET AUDIENCE

For my music magazine i have chosen the genre of bubble-gum pop which is pop for a younger audience. Because i have chosen this genre i will be aiming my target audience to the younger generation aimed 7-15. My target audience may also lean slightly biased towards girls as it will be modelled on acts such as One Direction and Justin Bieber that girls seem to like more than girls.
Becuase my target audience will be of this age group i will be using brighter colours such as reds,light blues, yellows,pinks because these colours will attract younger readers and also come across more light hearted and simplerer than other darker colours. I will also have to make the text simple and not too complex in order to meet the critea of the target audiece.

I have now uploaded th photos on to the computer so i can decided which ones are the best and which ones to use in the newsletter. i have quite a few photos however i will not actualy be using them all, instead i have taken lots of images so i can chose the best ones possible to use in my newsletter.

SEMIOTICS

Semiotics is the study of signs. A sign is something that stands for/signifies something other than itself.
The two main theorists behind semiotics were: Ferdinand de Saussure 1857-1913 and Charles Sander Pierce 1839-1914. 

Ferdinand de Saussure said that signs are dyadic, meaning they consist only of a form of a sign-the signifier and its meaining-the signified.
Charles Sander Peirce defined signs as "something that stands for something, to someone in some capacity".

Photoshop lesson

Here above you can see there is two pictures. First of all we had the picture on the top which was in colour. However using photoshop we were able to edit the photo to make it black and white. This is something that we have learned to do using photoshop.

Above you can see the original photo of six bottles sitting on a piece of wood. However we were given the task of removing the bottles of the wood and making it look as if they were never there. In order to do this we had to delete the bottles using the spot heeling tool. We then used other bits of the background to fill the bit we had deleted in order for it to look genuine.
