2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge
forms and conventions of real media products?
• Pointing at the camera is a pose I have seen
in a magazines (could not find an example
on the internet) and pictures of famous
celebrity rappers. I though it was an
suitable pose to do for a rap/hip hop
magazine and I personally liked it myself
and that is basically why I chose this image.
• The outfit Andreas is not the most “rap”
looking look but it is not totally out of the
theme.
• What I though of when I made my
magazine was all the albums, pictures,
posters, movies, everything I had seen in
my life that have had anything to do with
rap. Which is usually a lot of money,
expensive brands in cars and with cloth,
beautiful woman's jewelry
3. • The font I chose to youse is tidy, not to
childish or noisy. Its not to serious but
enough to look professional and real. I
chose blue because blue is a colour that
our brain find relaxing, and its one of my
favourite colours.
Tidy and serious
4. How does your media product
represent particular social groups?
• My magazine present teenagers and young adults. Not all of them, but there is a group inside
that group again. We humans judge people from how they look until you get to know them
better, but we start with how they look, how they dress, if they are fat, skinny, fit and so on.
My magazine here will come in interest for normal, fit group, with good looking clothes. A
special group my magazine will hit is the people that are into something called SWAG.
Here are some examples:
5. • The way my magazine is representing this particular group is with the pictures it
would include, the celebrity's that would be interviewed, the music in it and so on.
The colour in the magazine is not the normal blind in type of colour is more the
colours that make people stand out, and that is what my type of audience would
wear on their clothes, more sharp colours that make them stand out a bit more.
• The people that would buy my magazine would be from 15-30 years, and to hit the
youngest readers I tried to hold the content on a language that does not include to
many different words and sentences. I want everybody to understand what we are
saying.
• The main gender is male, that is because it is more male wannabe gangsters that
girls, that is just how it is, and since I try to catch the attention to the men with this
type of style in their life.
• The class in my audience would me mid class to upper class. Most likely because of
the content that would be on the inside would be VERY expensive.
• My mag represent a group of people that call them self gangsters, small
celebrity's, swaggers and etc.
6. Who would be the audience for your
media product?
• The audience for my magazine would be the same as I have noticed earlyer,
teenagers, young adulst 15-30. Medium + that makes a good amount of money.
• The gender would be male just because that is what interest me, and it usually
men/boys that are interested in expensive cars, houses, clothes, women.
7. What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and
why?
• Magazines like VIBE also publish news and
entertainment.
• VIBE would distribute my magazine because it
is a magazine for more younger people, so
they would have 2 types of magazine for both
more mature and less mature audiences.
8. What have you learnt about technologies from
the process of constructing this product?
• The different things I have learned during making of my magazine is all from using
different type of tolls like cameras, microphones, using software like powerpoint,
photoshop, indesign, different websites and etc. I learned most in photoshop,.
Photoshop is an extremely powerful tool to use to edit images. It can make a dead
mouse look a live. If you are good enough at photoshop you can make extremly
good images from scratch. From the websites I mostly learned to transform a type
of document to another type, or from a powerpoint presentation to a slide how
presentation. I also experimented with a blog which is harder that you think. It is
so many options and to have control over everything you do is also a little bit of
work.
• The research part was the hardest. To put all the information you have gathered
together into one product to make it as good as possible, and the way I had to use
to get that information. Create surveys for people to answer (the few who did)
make PowerPoint presentations with full of ideas then just use some of them.
9. How did you attract/address your
audience?
• I attracted them with bright colours and interesting headlines on the front
cover. So if you are into expensive cars, sexy woman’s , huge houses, boats
big as houses, a lot of money and style and class with clothing. Also some
exclusive “behind the music making” and interviews with the nr. Artists.
• Headlines that are interesting and right to the point.
10. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel
you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
• I did not learn much on how to use the different types of software but the one
thing I really learned something from was the planning part. It helped me avoid
the hateful moments when your brain cant function and don’t have a slightest clue
on what to produce. But if you work on a plan a little bit each day different ideas
comes to mind and when you writhe them down you have them for later when
you need them the most. So the planning part was most educational part for me.
