1. Questions For Media Evaluation.
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms
and conventions of real media products?
My media music magazine to some extent challenges and develops
forms and conventions as the when doing the parliamentary task of
planning and writing out a music questionnaire I have gone against this
as looking and analysing my questionnaire me target audience was for
40+ rock. I went against what people wanted as I thought it would be
interesting to see how people reacted to my magazine and I wanted to
provide to a more complex audience.
I have challenged the stereo type as on my front cover I have used an
image of a black Dj showing that we live in a multi cultural society and
it is not just young white middle class boys that are interested in being
a Dj.
Still now in are society it is not often that you see a black person on the
front cover of magazines, I want to embrace the fact that we live
amongst many cultures and hopefully it has a positive reaction off the
consumer

2. I am trying to both challenge and reinforce as the way I have chosen to
represent the young audience i have use appropriate text including
artist of interest and included a lot of pictures so that they stay
involved and interested.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My media product represents a particular social group by containing
images of young teenagers doing positive things and contributing to
society.
I feel like teenagers are looked down upon by people in society and I
think I have shown them in a positive light, and gave something to
aspire to be like.
In my double page spread I have shown an interview with Nicola
Roberts a normal girl like everyone else who always aspired to be in
the music industry, I hope by using content such as this and upcoming
artist explaining the way to fame hopefully it will have a positive effect
in the consumer.
I think it is a positive representation on my chosen social group I have
targeted at teenagers and young adults. I shows them in a way in which
will have a positive effect on the reader motivating them in to doing
good with their lives and making the most of it.
In the magazine I have incorporated new artist and some interviews
showing how the artist made it to where they are today in hope it will
motivate the consumer inspiring them to focus their attention on good
things instead of going down the wrong path.
When doing my music magazine I have been aware that young people
do not always get good press and have made a bad name for them
selves.
I have research a number of dance magazine mix mag,DJ.

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product
and why?
I think the most suited media institution to distribute my magazine
would be IPC media. I think this because IPC media only produce one
music magazine at the moment and that is NME. Although I think my
product isn’t similar to this magazine I feel I could help IPC media
become a bigger industry in the music world. IPC media is a respected
well known institution however I feel there is a market for my
magazine in their business. My magazine could help them become
bigger and get a more diverse audience and they could help my product
become a well known magazine.
The media institution that would distribute my music magazine would
be
Name them – and find examples that are similar from them – then
compare yours to theirs.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
The audience I have targeted my music magazine on is teenagers and
young adults that are interested in dance music which is planned in
clubs and pubs.
I have tried to attract a trend young and fresh audience with the use of
imagery I have use to represent the kind of audience of am targeting it
to.
style the type of clothing worn is a big part of the over all image as it is
the first thing you notice if the person in the front cover image wasn’t
dressed in the way that would represent coolness and youth it would
not be as successful when attracting the audience.

4. How did you attract/address your audience?
I attracted my audience with the use of imagery by using pictures of
artist that of similar age to the audience so they can relate better.
Being a teenager myself I have a heads up on what it is my target
audience would like to see so using appropriate text and language to
keep them interested.
The layout of the magazine was also something that I thought would be
positive as I have not used a lot of text so it was not text heavy I tried to
use a lot of images.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in
the progression from it to the full product?
I feel like I have learned a lot of new skills that have contributed to
making the music magazine the best it can be.
Every task we were set seemed easy at first but all turned out to be very
challenging and time consuming.
I have learned how to use many different programmes and software’s
on the computer and it is something I will use again the future.
Even the task of having to take pictures was challenging having to use
unique and original images.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of
constructing this product?
Through out the process of making the music magazine I have use
many different computer programmes and technologies which have
helped me to make it the best it can be. I have learned how to use
firework which I edited my front cover picture on adding and taking
away background also adding colour and cropping where needed to
make it all the more professional looking.
This process was very time consuming and took a while to get used to
and learn how to use but it has really helped the process run smoother.
Although technology is not my strongest point I struggled throughout
the process of using all the different programmes and had to ask for
help and guidance.
