The document discusses audience feedback received on a magazine cover, contents page, and double-page spread. Younger audiences aged 16-18 liked the minimalist layout but thought it may not appeal to some due to the lack of color and variety typically seen. Middle-aged audiences appreciated the mature, simple style with basic colors that complemented the look. Older audiences preferred the minimal writing on the cover as excessive text and bright colors can be off-putting. Overall, the feedback was positive and will be considered for improvements.

My magazine drafts
The magazine is called "MIXER" and targets audiences interested in R&B music. The main image on the cover will be of a young female wearing a hoodie to represent youth culture.

It describes bold text that draws readers in and covers music, tours, and exclusives of interest. Affordability is important for the intended student audience.

Evaluation powerpoint
My magazine cover uses a duplicated image on the front to give it an indie look, challenging conventions of traditional magazines that show a single mid-shot picture. The magazine represents the indie culture and style, targeting that audience. IPC Media would be suited to publish the magazine as they are a leading magazine publisher.
My evalutauion question 1
The document discusses how the magazine both follows and challenges conventions of real media productions.
It follows conventions by including a masthead, slogan, date, issue number, bar code, pricing, sell lines, multiple colors in the color scheme, featuring celebrities on the cover, using images in the contents page, and including pictures of artists in interviews.
It challenges conventions by having categories listed directly under each other on the contents page, putting page numbers in a straight line, introducing artists before Q&A in interviews, and noting how artists responded to questions in interviews. The magazine pushes boundaries a bit while still maintaining familiar elements readers expect.
Magazine project evaluation
The document summarizes and evaluates a student magazine called Cure Magazine. It discusses the magazine's use of conventions like the masthead, cover lines, and images. It also analyzes the contents page layout, a double page article spread, and how these aspects represent the target audience of teenagers and students.

Formal proposal
The document outlines initial ideas for a pop music magazine targeting 16-18 year olds. It discusses choosing the name "Fusion" to represent the blending of different music styles. The target audience of 16-18 year old males and females is chosen to be exposed to the magazine through sales in colleges. Initial cover ideas include featuring a female artist to appeal to both male and female readers, following the rule of thirds for layout. The contents page would list articles, section them, and continue the style of the front cover. A double page spread is planned to have a main artist image on one side and a smaller one with an exclusive interview in a question and answer format using different text colors.
Question1
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products.
It summarizes that the magazine's front cover uses conventions well by having the main image in the center to catch attention, and connecting the color of the guitar to other elements.
However, it also challenges some conventions by only including three "anchorage" points rather than the typical 4-5, making the main image black and white with color only on the guitar, and merging music with fashion genres.
The contents page also aims to challenge conventions by having a cleaner, simpler layout suited to the target audience, while still including typical elements like headers and page numbers.
Overall, audience testing found the magazine
Improved evaluation
My magazine goes by conventions in its layout, format, colors and contents page to match the theme and provide relevant information to readers. The double page spread uses reasonably sized pictures and text but gets repetitive with a plain and boring layout.
The magazine represents rock and heavy metal fans as aggressive and sinister through its dark colors, fire patterns, and informal language in articles. Photos of bands were taken from different angles to portray them as small and inferior, superior and powerful, or on an equal level.
Advertising the magazine through free leaflets, posters and potentially a free first issue could promote it until it builds a customer base through word of mouth and free gifts. The target audience is people interested in rock and heavy metal
Evaluation
The document discusses how the author created a music magazine to target a specific audience based on research. Through surveys on Survey Monkey, the author found that most respondents were ages 17-25 and enjoyed a variety of music genres.

Inspired by Billboard and NME magazines, the author chose a simple title and masthead design without bright colors that would distract from the content. The front cover features an attractive female model to attract both male and female readers through techniques like the male gaze. Overall, the magazine aims to attract its target audience through clean, easy-to-read design and content tailored to music-loving youth.

Evaluation Five
- 1. Image- Looking straight into the camera, direct audience address. Simple font for title Red White Black Colour scheme of red, black and white Minimal writing on the cover, again simple font.
- 2. Audience feedback After making my front cover, contents and double page spread I asked a few people what their overall thoughts were on the final magazine, what their favourite features were and what they thought could be Improved. When asking the audience I used a range of different ages, going from 16-40 I did this to see not only what my target audience thought about the magazine but also what people out of the target range also thought therefore being able to give my self more constructive criticism on how to improve and change my magazine. From the younger of the audience (16-18) they really liked the layout and style of the magazine and how it was minimalistic, but thought maybe that because it was minimalistic it may not appeal to certain people of the younger audience because usually a lot of colour and different sizes are used. The middle of the age range liked how it looked more of a mature magazine as there isn’t really a magazine like it, they liked the simplicity of it and how the colours used were very basic but went well with the look of the magazine. The older of the audience liked how the cover wasn’t covered in writing because sometimes magazines that are covered in a lot of writing and bright colours are very off putting just at a glance. Over all I think that the audience feedback was very positive and it would have/ will be taken into consideration.
