Doing the Preliminary task will help me a lot when constructing my actual magazine as I used several programmes like serif for the first time. Although I will probably need help and a few mini tutorials on the seoftware throughout, the preliminary task taught me a lot. I was also able to test out different styles, fonts, colours and ask opinions of the target audience, helping me to create a fairly decent cover and contents for the purpose.
I have already created a post on which conventions I am going to use from the magazines that I have analysed. Analysing the magazines helped me to look at typical conventions, what works, what doesn't. For my genre, I definitely need to stick to conventional methods and layouts. All the magazines analysed have given me ideas for how to layout and present my magazine.
A big part of my research has been my survey. I will continually refer to it as it is very important to what I put in the magazine and how I should present it. It was asked directly to my target audience and a range of people within this target audience so the results will help me to appeal to all interests within musical theatre which is what I intentionally set out to do. Throughout the process I will ask the opinion of a random selection of people within my target audience as I test out different layouts and colours as I constuct my magazine.
I definitely think musical theatre was the right choice of genres as there is definitely a market for it, a bit of a gap to be honest.
