Promotional Methods



 Promotional Methods are an important process in the development of my magazine as a range of different promotional methods will help to increase the readership and circulation of my magazine.
My magazine needs to have a big readership in order for it to be successful, to do this I must promote it effectively by using a range of different methods including traditional and modern ideas. Although advertising will result in the company investing a lot of money I believe this is a key component for any magazine as without promotion I wouldn't receive any revenue. Furthermore, my magazine is new and will need the help of promotion to make it well known.

Project Log 26/11/13


This is a video version  describing what I worked on during today's lesson. The written version of this project log can be found below:

In today’s lesson, I caught up on documents for the research stage of my magazine.  I decided to do representation research of the artist Cheryl Cole as she is portrayed in the media to be a sex symbol for men.  I began by finding an image and annotating it following body language, facial expressions, accessory, style and overall representation in the media. I found this to be very helpful and effective as it gave me a clear idea of the different things I needed to address in my photo shoot.

Project Log 24/11/13

For homework, I continued to work on documents for the planning stage of my magazine. Firstly, I finished off my colour connotations; I found this very useful as this gave me clear understanding of the different colours and meanings associated with colours.  After I had finished the connotations, I developed ideas for the colour of my magazine.I decided on the colours –red, black and grey for the house style for my magazine as they follow strong, powerful and dominant connotations. I also finished the target audience research and adapted  on to prezi as I thought I had too many documents displayed on powerpoint or word.
