Reader Profile

 

What is a reader profile?

 

The term “reader profile” is used in several different senses. It can refer to a profile of an individual that includes self-reported information designed to give people a picture of who that person is, a demographic analysis of site users developed by a company for advertisers who want to know if they will be a good fit for that company, or a profile developed by a content creator with the goal of determining who content is being produced for so that it can be tailored for the audience. In all cases, a reader profile provides information about people engaging with online content, and this information can be used to make that content more relevant to the interests of readers.

 

Publications that want to attract advertisers must also develop reader profiles. The profile provides an overview of demographic information about their readers including age, interests, background, place of residence, and history of interaction with ads. Some of this information is collected through surveys and studies, while other data can be collected from user profiles. Advertisers can look the profile over to see if the readers of a site are a demographic they are interested in engaging with.

Double Page Spread Music Magazine Analysis

I made this powerpoint on emaze to discuss and analyse magazine double page spreads and their typical features. I focused on three magazines and chose one double page spread to pull apart and talk about. I chose different genres of magazines with different audiences to try and see similarities and differences. Despite all being music magazines they all had different audiences. Kerrang focuses on rock music, Q is more varied music and the last magazine is aimed at teenage girls.

Music Magazine Contents Page Analysis

I made this presentation to research and display the ideas I came across when looking for music magazine contents pages. This presentation was created on Prezzi which makes the powerpoint more interactive. I focused on 3 different music magazines; Vibe, NME and Q.

School Magazine Contents Page

 

 

This is the contents page to my school magazine. Like the front page I used the same colour scheme to continue this pattern throughout. These colours are also used to link back to the school logo. Using the white font on the dark blue background makes it stand out more and easy to read. I also added two photos to give the reader something else to look at and make it more interesting. These photos were taken by myself and link to the school as they are pupils within school.



School Magazine Front Cover

For my fist assignment I had to create a school magazine suitable to sell within a school. I created it through Adobe Photoshop and had very little experience working with Photoshop. This is the front page of my school magazine. I used this photo to link with the subheading which is 'Students Celebrate Success'. I used blue and white as my colour scheme as this links with the school logo itself.
