My media product is a music magazine called Jukebox that focuses on chart music and new artists. The cover features the band The Chinadolls dressed as dolls to fit their name. The layout uses colors like red, white, and black that are bold and vibrant. It lists features like the top 20 chart and up-and-coming artists to attract an audience interested in new pop music. The target audience is teenagers and young adults who like alternative pop music. A company like Billboard publisher William H. Donaldson might distribute it since they have similar formats focusing on new music.
3. The chose pose of the image for the girls to be looking shocked but in a playful stance which gives across the message that they have a degree of humour and also so that it appeals to a younger audience.
4. For the clothes in the picture, I chose also to have the three girls dressed in wacky patterns and bright colours with ribbons in their hair so they would fit in with the theme of dolls. For the strap lines, I decided to have white and black text so it would fit in with the colour scheme and also stand out on top of the image.
5. For the skyline, I chose to use The colours red and white to again fit in with the colour scheme and also to stand out on the black background. Also, I chose to list all the features which would be included in the magazine such as the top 20 chart and up and coming music artists to attract the audience of people into new pop music. For the kicker, I decided on keeping it simple, but again bold colours to attract the target audience of young people and upwards to be appealed. I chose to have just one line to keep it short and catchy and to make the target audience attracted into finding out more about the band.

7. For example, the strap lines placed all around the image and the masthead being the main focus in large font.

10. Also, my band ‘The china dolls’ are an alternative to mainstream pop music and do not follow the normal conventions of girl pop stars.
11. I decided to have teenagers and young adults for my target audience as these are audiences that are easily influenced by the media and the culture of pop music.Young ,alternative pop group a kooky take on mainstream pop

13. Similar layout to the billboard magazine with the date and name in the right hand corner of the page. For my contents page I decided on using a similar layout to the Billboard contents page, although I decided on having the page information on the right hand side and just one main image instead of three side images and a main. I also decided on having a similar layout to the Billboard magazine, as I included a similar underlining of the title and similar layout of text For the layout of the paragraphs I decided having the title in capitals similar to Billboard and then small, brief paragraphs about what would be included on each page. This appeals more to a target audience of young people as they could just skim read the page. High-saturated image- to make it appear vibrant and colourful to attract a young audience.

16. For the introduction I decided on having a brief overview of the band’s success and I chose to highlight the bands name and the editors name I kept with the same colour scheme as before to keep the magazine professional looking I also added in a caption, to show the readers the names of the band members so the readers could become more personal
![For the colour scheme, I decided to go with white, black and red like the NME magazine as the colours were vibrant and bold which fitted in the colourful main image of my band. They are also colours which compliment each other well. For the masthead, I decided on the name of Jukebox as my magazine genre was chart and new artists music and I wanted it to convey the message of a real jukebox where you can play any music you want. ,[object Object]](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
