In this task I will summarise what I have learnt from completing tasks 14-19. The textual analysis tasks has been beneficial to me as I have learnt new skills such as how to use different web tools like emaze and powtoon.
The analysis of my front cover, content page and double page spread was useful to do as I now know every aspect that needs to be included in my magazine. For my title page I know to include a Masthead and a main image which is most likely to be off a pop singer/group. On the contents page I noticed that there is often a few images that surround the text which engages the audience, therefore I could apply this to my magazine. Lastly on the double page spread there is always a large bold image which attracts the audience, and different sections of text surrounding it. By completing these tasks I have a further insight on how to design my magazine and the information that it needs to contain. The analysis of these different areas has given me a better understanding of specific key terms and information that I can include in my magazine when it comes to designing it, I will be more confident when doing it because I will be familiar with the layout.
The uses and gratification theory helped me to apply my knowledge from the theory work into applying the theory to a pop magazine, this includes Information, Personal, Social Interaction and Entertainment and why each of these are included in a magazine. It also advanced my understanding regarding why people consume media. Therefore by doing this task I can use the theory i learnt and put it in my magazine when I design it which effective because my magazine will contain the correct information.
