2. Project
 For my project I needed to research on different
types magazines and specific target audiences.
 For my research I've interviewed a number of people
on their views on what they like to see in a magazine,
the way I've done this is by interviewing people
within the school using open and closed questions.

3. Questions
 1.What do you think is more important within a
magazine the images or text?
 2. What types of magazines do you like to read?
 3. Do you think its important that magazines adhere to
the stereotypical conventions
 4. Do you think its important that magazines have a good
influence for the readers?
 5. would you prefer a big name artist or an up and
coming artist to be the main focus of the magazine
 6. what is the price range you would think would be
suitable?

4. Answers
 1. images
 2. rap/hip hop
 3. I think its important that magazines use stereotypical
conventions because then the audience will be able to tell
what the magazine is about and because it will be able to
attract the target audience easier
 4. I do think its important that magazines have a good
influence on readers as it could encourage or inspire
them to achieve what they want to do in life especially if
they wanted to be a rapper
 5. big name artist
 6. £1.50

5.  Overall I think that I have progressed in since the
first preliminary task. I have learnt to use programs
such as Photoshop, Prezi. Other tools I have learnt to
use are the camera effectively. Besides using
programs I have also learnt to be able to develop my
media terminology and develop an understanding
about the media industry.

6. Examples of magazines of the same genre

7.  I have used these pictures to get a better
understanding on what a rap magazine looks like
and I have used the stereotypical conventions these
magazines have used in my own work.
