5. HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT
PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?
In order to represent a particular social group I created a questionnaire which showed that
people aged between 16-25yrs old were interested in my magazine.
I have represented teen-young adults for my magazine through my front cover image, it is very
appealing because the image is making direct contact through his eyes. The model is giving a
very natural pose and smiling which is very normal.
6. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT
TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF
CONSTRUSTING THIS PRODUCT
To create this magazine I have used a range of technologies like the computer and camera. I also
used range of hardware and software like InDesign, Photoshop, Google, Word Press, Phones,
social networks and many more.
The software InDesign and Photoshop were accessible only at college and unfortunately I didn’t
have it on my private laptop, so in order to use these software I visited my college library and
made use of it in my media lessons.
The use of camera was only accessible through booking the camera which I did. It was very easy
to borrow the camera.
However, It was very challenging in the beginning to make use of InDesign, Photoshop and the
Still Camera because I have never made use of this hardware or software. Fortunately I
developed my skills through my Preliminary tasks which helped me for my music magazine.
7. WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT
DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND WHY?
• The institution that might distribute my media product is Bauer.
• Bauer is a multinational media company which operates in countries
worldwide, this will help my music magazine to be published in
different countries and in different languages which will attract
worldwide audience.
• Bauer publishes some of the major music magazines like Q, MOJO,
KERRANG and I think it is important for my music magazine to be
distributed by Bauer who is representing some of the major brands,
this will help my music magazine to attract big audience due to the
Publisher’s reputation and record of music magazines.
• Q is one of the major magazines published by Bauer and I think my
magazine has similarities with the Q magazine because like Q, my
magazine is targeting an young older audience.
• My magazine is most likely to be sold in a Supermarket, WH smith
and Music shop because of major population visiting the
supermarket atleast once a week gives my magazine a boost of
being sold, moreover major music fans can be visiting a music shop
to look for magazines of their genre, like my magazine is a R&B
genre.
8. 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 various skills like using the InDesign, Photoshop which was really important for
my magazine constructions.
• In the beginning of my project I was finding it very difficult to use software like InDesign and
Photoshop because I have never used them before, however through my preliminary task I
further developed using it for my main magazine construction.
• Other skills that I have developed is the skills of taking pictures according to the targeted
audience, what I mean by this is that for my music magazine I attracted my audience through
the poses of the central image.
• Moreover I developed the idea of representing the colours, fonts and texts in my magazine,
In order for my magazine to attract the audience I used bright colours such as yellow, blue,
red and more, I made use of TW CEN MT CONDENSED EXTRA BOLD which will
make direct contact with my through the bold font presented.
• Most importantly I was struggling in the beginning of making use of the Still Camera however
through preliminary tasks I Improved my skills which helped me through my main project.
9. WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR
MEDIA PRODUCT?
• As mentioned before, the typical my magazine sound reader is aged between 16-
25yrs old and is passionate about music. The socio economic group of my
audience’s parents is C1/C2 and this is because most of my reader will be
financially dependent on parents, however some of my reader can be living own
their as it more targets at a middle class audience.
• The typical reader for my magazine Sound is male and female, I think my magazine
attracts both gender because of the images and textual language represented in
my magazine.
10. HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ADDRESS YOUR
AUDIENCE?
• In order to attract my audience I represented them on the cover page through a
teen star. Moreover the teen star on the front cover is making direct contact with
the reader through the eyes.
• I also attracted my attracted my audience through different colours, fonts and font
size which will make direct contact with the reader.
• I also had my model to pose in style that will approach readers buying my
magazine through the model representation.
