Introduction ,[object Object],[object Object]
 The front cover uses strap lines to try and ‘sell’ the magazine through the artists featured. It also has one main image, which uses direct address in order to interest the reader and make them want to buy the magazine.,[object Object]
 Another magazine that focuses on more alternative rock music is Kerrang!, which does use elements of red and white, but the most dominant colours are yellow and black, like my magazine.,[object Object]
When asked what showed this, the general response was that the colour scheme represents the alternative rock genre.
 I feel this response shows my magazine effectively shows the intended genre.,[object Object]
The costume in all of my images fits with the dominant image of alternative rock artists, with all images containing someone wearing dark and moody clothes.
The artists in all of my images are all,        unhappy/moody also conveying then        general and dominant image of people        involved in alternative rock, that they        are quite unhappy. I have graded most        of my images to create a darker image.
How does your media product represent particular social groups? ,[object Object]
I have represented this group in this manner in order to relate with the general target audience as most people who will buy the magazine will follow the style and image of the featured artists.,[object Object]
EMAP have produced a number of magazines including ‘Smash Hits’ which ran from 1978 to 2006, and also published ‘Mojo’ magazine until 2008 which then became published by Bauer media Group, the company already has a lot of experience in the music magazine industry and may be open to a new magazine. ,[object Object]
IPC media group, who publish NME magazine, a magazine similar to mine which focuses more on indie rock but does have elements of alternative rock,  may be interested as the Bauer Media Group currently dominate music magazines.
In addition to this Classic Rock magazine has taken over NME in circulation figures meaning the company could be interested in a new magazine with a fresh take to try and raise circulation figures again.  What kind of media institute might distribute your media product and why?
Who would be the audience for your media product? ,[object Object]
This is a good target audience for my magazine as most                            fans of alternative rock music fall      between this age range. ,[object Object],      the research stage, I found that         most people aged between 16 and        25 like alternative rock music.        Most people over this age tend        not to like alternative rock music.
[object Object]
This type of magazine is open to a wide range of people, many people outside of the target audience do like and listen to alternative rock music and may be interested in the magazine and artists featured.
When looking at the audience feedback, the product gained a positive reaction from my target audience with most being interested in the magazine.Who would be the audience for your media product?
How did you attract/ address your audience? ,[object Object]

  • 21. I feel that the layout of the article would be quite appealing for a reader; the text is not too complicated and is laid out in a manner that is quite easy to the eye and easy to read.
  • 22.
  • 23. The use of a blog has helped me to keep organised with tasks I had to perform and when I needed to do them.
  • 24. Using In Design alsohelped me to create and format the magazine easily, making it look more professional and stylised.
  • 25.
  • 26. I found that the cameras that we used in order to take my images were very easy and helpful, allowing me to view images after I had taken them. What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of constructing this product?
  • 27.
  • 28. On two of my images something needed to be edited in order them to look right, because of this I had to spend a lot of time editing the pictures in order to get the style and quality of image I wanted.
  • 29.
  • 30. In the preliminary task I felt that I had used too many colours that did not look effective together and made it look dull and uninteresting.

  • 32.
  • 33.
  • 34.
  • 35. I feel that the main weakness in my project is the consistency in the images is not very present. I feel that the images on the contents page are not as good as those on the other pages which look very strong.
  • 36. I particularly think that the front cover image and the main image in the article are both very effective.
  • 37. I also feel that the article was very successful and professional, feeling like a real article from a magazine and something I very much enjoyed writing.
