Progress Report

Progress Report For Linked Production

Week 1 (15th Feb - 19th Feb) - In this week, we started to look at our competitors magazines. We went out and bought a few magazines of our main competitors and we started to analyse the codes and conventions it uses. We also began to made notes on what ideas we can get from competitors that we can use in our magazine. We carried out a couple of analysis on teen magazines to understand in a better view of how to create a teen magazine that will reach out to teenagers. We looked at magazines such as Bliss, Twist, Sugar and J14 who will be our main competitors.

Week 2 (22nd Feb - 26th Feb) - In this week, we are starting to take more pictures for our magazine because we found that the images that we already have are not enough. We started going around and taking pictures that will be useful for our magazine and will be able to relate to teenagers. For example, we got an image showing teenage romance which is likely to appeal to female teenagers. As the images for the magazine have been completed and we now have enough, we have started to think about the image that we can use for the front cover too. We have considered using Taylor Lautner as he is popular with teenage girls but we can't seem to find the right image as yet . . . .
