EvaluationBy Martin Fenton

In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media

products?

• My front cover is conventional because the title is at the top of the page however it could be unconventional because the picture isn’t in the middle of the page it is slightly to the right that’s why it is unconventional, another conventional aspect is that the front cover has some additional information on the front of the magazine telling you what is inside the magazine.

How does your media product represent

particular social groups?

• My magazine is aimed at a certain social group who are interested in a different kind of music, such as indie music. I think I have achieved this by using a plain background but the correct layout and the correct information that would be appealing to the right audience.

What kind of media institution might distribute

your media product and why?

• My magazine could be sold as a monthly issue in the local newsagent however it could be also sold as a internet format and could be advertised on certain WebPages.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

• My age range for my target audience would be aimed at teenagers aged 14-25 also it could be aimed at people older who are interested in indie music.

How did you attract/address your audience?

• I attracted my audience my audience by using an image of a teenager suggesting that it is aimed at teenagers also the colour scheme is a plain colour scheme not to fancy correct for an indie magazine.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

• I have learnt to use the website blogger and how to post blogs so that people can see and comment on also my image editing skills on fireworks have also improved and the main thing that I have learned is that the way a magazine is lay out and the colours that are used all depends on how well the magazine sells.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it

to the full product?

• I have learnt how to layout and use a better colour scheme I have also learnt how to take better and more professional pictures for my magazine.
