The document summarizes an evaluation of a media product created by Matthew Collins. It discusses how the product both uses conventions of real magazines, such as including a title, but also challenges conventions by placing the picture and text in non-traditional locations on the page. The product represents the social group of people interested in casual and indie music. It would likely be distributed in magazines, local papers, or shops targeting an audience of mixed gender between ages 13-19. Through creating the product, Matthew learned skills using design software and techniques like camera angles and shots. He also learned the importance of leaving white space in the layout rather than overcrowding the page with text boxes.

Evaluation
My media product aims to attract a primary audience of music fans aged 16-21 who enjoy indie music, fashion, and lifestyle. It focuses exclusively on promoting the indie genre. Research showed the most popular artist among fans was Alex Turner, so featuring him exclusively could draw attention. I would pitch the product to media institutions like IPC, who are more open to funding new ideas from independent creators. The magazine uses conventions of real media products in its design, with a prominent cover image and article previews to engage readers. Informal language helps address the younger target audience. Creating the magazine helped me learn skills in using software like Photoshop and how to operate hardware like digital cameras.

The magazine represents young, outgoing male musicians interested in indie/rock music and aims to inform readers about the genre through articles and competitions to attract readers. The magazine could initially be published online and then in print if successful online.

Zola Aspel evaluates their media product, a music magazine designed for an audience aged 15-25 who enjoy R&B and pop music. Some key differences between the magazine and real publications include the logo placement and lack of free gifts. The magazine represents cheerful, happy people and focuses solely on R&B and pop genres. IPC Media would be a suitable institution to distribute the magazine worldwide. Bright colors, medium shots of people looking at the camera, and genre-relevant questions were used to attract the target audience. The process taught skills in Photoshop like removing backgrounds and adjusting brightness/saturation. More planning and research went into the music magazine compared to an earlier college magazine.

- 2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? My product is conventional as it has the title of the magazine at the top, but in one way it could be unconventional as the picture of the model isn’t in the middle it is on the side of the page.
