1. Evaluation Question 2
By Hassan Elahi

2. How does your product engage
with audiences and how would
it be distributed as real media
texts?

3. When I showed people my product they seem to think that its
was a very good looking magazine. So the main thing which i
was trying to do was make my magazine an attractive and
people would want to pick it up and buy the magazine. When i
showed people the front cover they said that it included a
large range of attractive colors such as Red and Black which
made it look good, they also said that the placement of the
picture was good because it shows the main person who is in
the magazine. The Use of yellow colour for the puff “FREE
POSTER” made it look more attractive and eye catching which
made the audience to give a look at the front cover. When i
was designing my magazine i was trying to include a lot of
original image, so that it was just not loads of writing.

4. The Use of colour scheme RED and
BLACK made it more attractive and
made it more appealing. The use
of original image with a mid shot
gave the Model more importance
including the placement of the
Masthead below her. The place of
the Puff “Free Poster” with a
Yellow Colour made it more
vibrant And the word “FREE”
forces a person give a look into It.
The use of Direct Mode Of address
also attracts the audience.

5. The Use Of Letter “M” on the whole page as well as
maintaining the colour Scheme of blue on the whole
double spread page made it more attractive including
the quotation which gave it a little Touch.

6. I used a two page contents page while most of the music
magazine use one page But with two pages my contents page doesn’t lo
crowdie while it is full of Images including there description as well as I
maintained the colour scheme same as
My front cover which is Red And Black. The main image of “AUSAF”
makes the Audience more attracted towards the magazine.

7. Target Audience
I would say that ‘WIRED’ magazine’s
target audience is mostly similar to
that of ‘We Love Pop.’ My magazine
is aimed at young teenagers 16+
who enjoy listening to pop music.
Due to the cover stars, stories and
colour scheme, the aim of my
magazine is to inform the reader
monthly of all the latest ‘gossip’ to
do with the pop industry and their
favourite pop stars. My magazine
also provides the reader with extras
and exclusives which relate
specifically to my target audience.

8. • A typical reader of ‘WIRED’ magazine would be a 16 year old
teenager currently attending school who listens to pop music,
artists such as Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Taylor Swift etc.
He would enjoy reading magazines such as ‘We Love Pop‘ and
‘Top Of The Pops’ as they are similar to ‘WIRED’

9. How would it be distributed as real
media texts?

10. • There are many magazine publishing houses within the UK,
such as
…here is a list of most of the publishers in the UK. Some of these
Publishers are very famous in Uk and according to my research
they can help me in publishing various copies of my music
magazine, However publishers will only take on a product that
they believe it will appeal to its target market efficiently and sell.

11. Distributors
I like how there are few publishing companies that specialise in a
specific genre of magazines, there are only a handful of
distributors that are specialised in a certain genre. HOWEVER,
Major Line Music is the most suitable distributor I found and
according to the research of the media product they would have
a perfect distribution channel and ways and means to promote
and advertise my media product.
… again similarly to publishing companies, distributors will only
take on a product if there is evidence of it being able to sell well.

12. Wired
• As there are few publishers and distributors who specialise to a
certain genre of magazine, they are influenced to take on your
product if there is evidence that it will thrive in the magazine
market.
• This is good as due to the genre of my magazine (Pop Music), its
target audience will be of a large scale.
• This means that it will attract publishers and distributors to
investing in the brand.

13. Wired
• However…
it may be worth aiming to get a specialised publisher/distributor
to invest in ‘WIRED’ as they will have more experience of the
most sufficient ways to promote and sell the magazine.
• For example Major Line Music, who specialise in music
magazines.
