My media product targets a teenage audience interested in indie music. It challenges conventions by placing the picture slightly right of center on the cover, while also including conventional elements like the title at the top and information about the magazine's contents. This magazine aims to represent the social group of indie music fans through a plain design and relevant content. It could potentially be distributed as a monthly issue in local shops or online, with advertising on music-related websites. Through the image of a teenager and plain color scheme, I have aimed to attract this target audience.

1. Evaluation By Martin Fenton

2. In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? My front cover is conventional because the title is at the top of the page however it could be unconventional because the picture isn’t in the middle of the page it is slightly to the right that’s why it is unconventional, another conventional aspect is that the front cover has some additional information on the front of the magazine telling you what is inside the magazine.

3. How does your media product represent particular social groups? My magazine is aimed at a certain social group who are interested in a different kind of music, such as indie music.
