Evaluation By Samantha Ferguson
Evaluation Introduction- For my coursework project I worked alone to create a pop music magazine for young girls aged 8-14 (approximately) It also has a secondary purpose to go against stereotypical conventions and represent teenagers in a good light. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? The genre of my music magazine is pop. I have used lots of bright colours and shapes such as stars and hearts to show this. I have used typical elements of a magazine for example, a barcode, price, issue number and date, to make it appear genuine. My magazine differs from others because there are no pop magazines for young girls available at the moment. I gained some of my ideas from the very popular and long running, Smash Hits magazine but made mine more up to date with special font styles etc. My magazine proved successful from my audience feedback questionnaires. Although my magazine is aimed at children who rely on their parents for income they all seemed very interested in it.

Evaluation What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? I think that a publisher named Monarch Avalon would be interested in publishing my magazine. They have a similar magazine named ‘ Girl’s Life ’ which has been running for 15 years in the U.S. Although they do not specify in music magazines they normally feature pop star role models on the cover such as, Taylor Swift. There are no music magazines for young girls in the U.K that I know of so I think this publisher would be best, because of all the experience they have. There is a link below with information about Girl’s Life magazine: http://www.girlslife.com/page/about.aspx

Evaluation I sent out 10 questionnaires to people I thought would be interested in Pop Partie magazine and the results showed that 80% of girls aged 8-14 preferred pop music to any other genre. Also from my questionnaire I found that 100% of the children would ask their parents to buy the magazine for them. They are a good target audience financially because they have nothing else to spend their money on and music interests them. This has been proven with merchandise for high school musical making billions for example; Record-breaking DVD with over 8 million units sold and even figurines selling by the thousand. .jpg

Evaluation What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? Before constructing this product I had never had experience using the ‘InDesign’ or ‘PhotoShop’ packages before. This is evident in my preliminary task. The layout is very plain, there has been no photos cut out or any exiting fonts used. However the more I practised using the technologies the easier it became for me and I feel that I can now use both packages effectively. I had also never used a blog before this project. But I found  www.blogger.com  very easy to use and a simple way to display all my progress.  Another new website that I had to use was  www.dafont.com  it was very helpful, with lots of interesting fonts available. My preliminary task
Evaluation My Final Product:
Evaluation Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? Looking back at my preliminary task and my final product I can see that I have made a lot of progress. In my preliminary task I used a mid-shot for my cover page but after researching other magazines I found that it was more professional to use a long shot of the models full body as it looked more glamorous. Although I used a close-up photo for my contents page to give a more personal feel to the magazine. Also in my final product all the pages look like they belong to the same magazine because I have added colourful borders to each and kept the same colour scheme throughout. Another thing I have improved in my final product from my preliminary task is the choice of title and fonts. In my pre-lim task I used very basic fonts and my title was not very imaginative. Whereas in my final product I used  www. dafont .com  to find unusual and fun fonts that would suit my magazine. My title ‘ Pop Partie ’  added much more interest and suited the genre of my magazine.
Evaluation Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? It took me a while to get a good layout for my contents page. I rearranged the structure many times to make it appear less ‘blocky’ as it was quite boring. But I am now happy with the layout and I think it grabs the readers attention. My cover had a better layout than my preliminary cover because on my pre-lim task I did not cut-out the picture, I left the background in. This made the magazine appear quite plain and ordinary so in my final task I cut out all of my pictures and placed them on a coloured background to give it a funkier, more interesting appeal.
Evaluation Conclusion- Overall I am very proud of how my final task looks. I think the fonts used make it look a lot more authentic. I especially like the font used for the title on the cover as it is a typical convention of a pop magazine. However I think that I should have used a better font for my feature article as my test audience group did not respond to it that well. I am also proud of my photo shop skills as I had to cut all of my pictures out and then place them on a background and I think they turned out very well. Although I should have taken pictures with various different outfits as most of the pictures look very similar. Out of all of my pages I like my feature article the most. As it represents teenagers in a good light as my artist is well spoken and a good role model for children. I also like the little details I added which make it more professional such as the personalised Pop Partie bullet points ( ADD PIC) and my artists album cover.
