The document discusses the target audience of a magazine. It notes that the magazine is aimed at both males and females ages 16-30. This is shown through the use of both male and female artists in the magazine and a simple bold font and colors like red, yellow, black, and blue that appeal to both genders. However, one criticism is that the magazine should have included more pictures of males since it only used two small images of males on the cover and contents page. The magazine focuses on artists whose fans are mainly 16-30 years old.

Question 2
The magazine aims to represent females aged 16-24 in a way that breaks negative stereotypes. On the cover, a model named Izzy is featured with a serious expression, wearing black clothing and little makeup to portray women as powerful and independent. Inside the magazine, there are role models for young women to aspire to for positive reasons. Another interview subject, Eden, represents older indie artists in her 30s through her modest clothing and guitar, breaking stereotypes of artists over 28 while still relating to the target audience. The magazine uses photography and subjects to showcase both gender and age in a way that challenges common stereotypes.
Question 4
The target audience of the magazine is teens and young adults aged 16-24 who are primarily female. They are likely still in education and have a strong interest in music, listening to it frequently and many having musical knowledge or ability. The magazine aims to appeal to both more social and less social readers in this age group by offering music-related content as well as chances to win tickets to events or activities. Fashion content is also included to further engage the target audience.

They identify the target audience as females between ages 7-19, suggesting the magazine clearly targets a young female pop music audience as evidenced by its bright colors, stylized fonts and imagery.

The images, colors, and stories used aim to show positive influences and role models. In particular, the magazine focuses on clean, minimal makeup looks and fashion to portray the featured artist in a positive light. It aims to attract fan girls and girlie girls through its pink color scheme and content like quizzes and heartfelt stories.
Evaluation question 4)
The target audience for the music magazine is males and females aged 14-25. This is conveyed through the typography, colors, and images used which are appealing to both genders. The magazine is also aimed at both genders through the use of varying masculine and feminine fonts.

The magazine is meant to reject stereotypes of only appealing to one gender.
Audience
The target audience for the magazine is females aged 14-29, as the magazine will focus on fashion, health, celebrity and music topics. It aims to appeal to fans of pop music and "Love Pop" magazine. The $2.99 price point is affordable for teenagers and young people without stable incomes.

Bauer Media Group would be the best distributor for the author's pop music magazine 'Chart' for three reasons:
1) Bauer has existing knowledge of music magazines, despite not focusing on pop genre specifically.
2) Bauer has a gap in their portfolio for a magazine like 'Chart' and knows how to successfully target a female audience, as shown by magazines like Heat and Grazia.
3) Bauer can help the author reach their intended 13-18 year old, primarily female audience from social classes C2-D who enjoy mainstream pop artists like Cheryl Cole, One Direction, and Rihanna.

- The main age group targeted is teenagers aged 16-19, as evidenced by the bright colors, popular artists featured, and inclusion of contests and gifts.
- The gender mainly targeted is female, making up 78.58% of interested readers, through topics, colors, and artists primarily appealing to females.

Ev question 4
The target audience for the magazine is 16-19 year old males and females interested in indie music. Primary research was conducted through a Facebook group of the target audience to determine preferences like color themes and spending habits. A stereotypical reader profile was created of a full-time student interested in music, fashion, and gigs who spends £30-90 per month on luxuries. Individual male and female target profiles were also created to understand their specific interests to appeal to them. The key reasons identified that this audience would choose the magazine are for entertainment, gig information, discovering new music, fashion inspiration, and if their favorite artists are featured.
Ev 2
This document discusses targeting a specific audience for a music magazine. The target audience is identified as 16-19 year old males and females who are interested in indie music. Research was conducted on social media to understand the interests of this group. The magazine's style, with a black, white, and coral color scheme, and content about up-and-coming bands are designed to appeal to this target audience. Photographs feature a model dressed in dark colors consistent with indie music styles to match the interests of the target demographic.
Question 2 media evaluation
My dance music magazine targets males ages 16-25 because research found this demographic has the biggest interest in dance music genres. The magazine's content and hard-edged font style with a rough look cater to stereotypical male interests, as females generally prefer softer, smoother fonts. This target age group and gender of males listens to dance music more than females according to a market research questionnaire.
Evaluation
This document evaluates a music magazine called "BASS" that is targeted towards teenagers and young adults interested in hip hop and R&B music. The magazine develops rather than challenges conventions of similar real-world music magazines. It uses codes and conventions like celebrity interviews, lists, and images that would appeal to its target audience. The name "BASS" was chosen to represent the loud, rhythmic nature of hip hop music and to appeal to those seeking the clearest bass in their music. The magazine is intended to represent and appeal to the social group of 16-24 year olds interested in hip hop and R&B artists like Chris Brown.
Question 4
The document discusses market research conducted for a pop music magazine. The research showed that pop music was the most popular genre among respondents at 38.98%. Most of the audience was female (74.58%) and between the ages of 16-19 (67.80%). To appeal to this target demographic, the magazine features bright colors, photos of male and female artists, pop music charts, and a contest to win concert tickets. The format and content aim to be interesting to both female and younger readers.
Media Evaluation Q2
The document discusses how the media product, a magazine, represents different social groups. It represents:
- Age: The magazine targets young adults ages 13-18, which is represented through the young models ages 13-18 and darker, more mature colors.
- Gender: The magazine predominantly features female artists, subverting conventions of male-dominated R&B magazines and avoiding over-sexualization given the target age group.
- Ethnicity and region: The magazine conforms to R&B genre conventions through featuring predominantly black artists but uses standard English nationwide to be understood by any reader, not just those in a specific region.
Luke evaluation
The document discusses the target audience and marketing strategies for a pop music magazine. The target audience is described as 13-19 year olds, primarily female, from a lower social class in the UK. The magazine will attract this audience through its informal tone, low price, and images featuring casually dressed male pop stars consistent with the genre's stereotypes. Cover lines promise exclusive photos and a chance for readers to directly contact their favorite singer. Marketing campaigns will feature contests allowing readers to win desirable prizes in order to attract and engage the target youth audience.
Question 5
The document describes how the author attracted their target audience for their magazine. They conducted a questionnaire of potential readers to determine demographics. The questionnaire found that most readers were between 16-18 years old, liked pop music, and preferred interview articles. This informed the magazine's design and content to feature young people, use simple colors and bold fonts, and include interview content to appeal to this demographic.
Question 4 and 5
My target audience for the pop music magazine would be young females between 12-16 years old who enjoy pop music. This demographic frequently reads other music magazines and follows pop artists on social media. They enjoy dancing, fashion, makeup and boy bands. The magazine was priced affordably for this audience and features content they want to read about their favorite pop stars, including articles, photos and news. Test readers of various ages said the magazine cover image of One Direction and use of bright colors made it appealing.
Q4
The target audience for the media product is 16-22 year old male and female students who have an interest in indie and grunge music. They have an indie fashion sense and look to stand out from the crowd rather than blend in. This audience would be attracted to the magazine due to its simplistic grunge style house design with appealing colors, fonts, and covers for both men and women. The magazine gives off a cool, relaxed vibe focused on music that the target audience can relate to.
Question 4
The document discusses the results of a questionnaire given to 10 people to help determine the target audience for a music magazine. Key findings include:
- 30% of respondents preferred the indie music genre, suggesting an indie magazine would have broad appeal.
- The magazine masthead was the most attractive design element to readers.
- Interviews were the most interesting content for readers.
The target audience is envisioned as 16-21 year olds, "hipster" style. Examples images provided represent the envisioned typical male and female readers.
Questionnaire results
The document discusses planning for a music magazine targeted at 16-17 year olds. It will ask about gender to determine if the magazine should be targeted at males, females, or both. It will also ask about favorite artists to feature those that the target audience likes. The price of the magazine will be around £1-£1.50 since the target audience does not have a lot of money. Favorite type of music will help determine the genre of the magazine. Dedication to music will help decide whether to include concerts or more affordable content like albums.
How did you attract your audience
The document discusses the decisions made in designing a music magazine called "Quaint". It describes choosing to feature a single main image on the cover to avoid appearing crowded. It also discusses setting an affordable price of £2.49 based on market research showing prices between £2-3 sold best. Fashion was an important consideration, aiming for a shabby chic, high fashion vintage feel by carefully selecting the model's costumes, props, and makeup. The chosen genre was indie-pop to make it unique while targeting interested audiences. Color schemes and other design elements were selected based on research of existing magazines and feedback from questionnaires and peers.
Question 2
The document discusses how a media product represents its target audience and social groups. It focuses on a magazine design project aimed at teenage girls interested in pop music. The magazine represents this group as youthful and fun through images of a teenage model dressed in young, stylish clothing posing happily while listening to upbeat pop music. Close-up shots portray her as innocent. Cover lines and content focus on popular artists like Justin Bieber and One Direction to appeal to the target audience. Images from a One Direction concert provide insight into ticket prizes and portray the interests of the audience.
Question 4
The target audience for the magazine is predominantly females aged 16-30, based on research including a questionnaire. The questionnaire found that the audience interested in interviews over just articles was females aged 16-20. While both males and females aged 16-30 were initially intended, the magazine ended up being more female-oriented due to the creator's own interests and preferences as a young female and focusing on a female artist.
3 concept
This document outlines a proposed alternative rock music magazine. It will target females ages 14-20, as there are few magazines in this genre catered to females. The magazine will have an edgy style to appeal to independent readers of both genders. Each issue will include a free poster of the featured artist. The magazine will be published by Bauer, as they have an opening for another alternative magazine despite already publishing Q Magazine, which targets an older unisex audience rather than young females.
Evaluation 4
The document discusses the target audience for a media product. It aims to attract both female and male readers aged 16-24 through images on the cover and throughout. Bright, bold colors and informal text are used to appeal to this age range. Photos taken in York allow readers to relate to the people featured. Free posters inside the magazine will attract readers in this demographic who enjoy decorating their rooms. The £3.50 price point, similar to other weekly magazines, is affordable for the target B-C2 social class who are still in education or just entering the workforce and do not have significant disposable income.
Madeleine Ward Foundation Portfolio Evaluation
My media product challenges conventions by using pink writing aimed at both males and females. It copies the monochrome color scheme of Q magazine using red, black, and white. The target audience is pleasure seekers and rebels aged 17-21 interested in indie rock music. Imagery of a woman with a blindfold signals taking risks and inner strength appealing to this core audience. The magazine may be distributed by IPC, a large UK media company reaching many adults, benefiting the magazine's reach among young music fans.
Media evaluation - question 4&5
The document discusses the target audience for a media product, a dance music magazine. The target age range was 17-25 years old, and the psychographics were radicals and aspirers who see themselves as individuals. The Jicnar social scale of the target audience was D to E, including semi-skilled and unemployed young people. Bright colors, sans serif fonts, and images of young models and artists were used to attract this audience. Feedback from the target audience on Facebook was positive, correctly identifying the genre as dance/pop music.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My magazine aims to represent various social groups including ages 17-25 through an informal writing style. It focuses on the working and middle classes by keeping the price reasonable and featuring artists from similar backgrounds. While more feminine aspects like colors are included, masculine colors and a male model balance the representation of gender. The models and artists featured are currently all white British by coincidence rather than design, as the goal is a multicultural representation regardless of ethnicity. Individuals are targeted rather than specific social groups to attract a wider range of music tastes.
Evaluation
The document discusses how the creator of a music magazine aimed at teenage girls developed conventions from an existing magazine to attract their target audience. Specifically:
- The creator used similar layout, colors, and photography style as another "pop music" magazine for teenagers.
- Colors like pink and purple were used to appeal to the stereotypical interests of teenage girls. Red was also used in the headline to represent competition between boy bands.
- Photographs of boy bands and a female artist on the cover were included to attract the magazine's core audience of teenage girls.
- Limited text but more images mirrored conventions of the magazine it was based on but the creator challenged this by including a longer interview to better engage

Feedback was collected from 20 people on the gender and age appeal. Charts show the results, which elements were most liked, and what the author learned about using software like Photoshop and InDesign throughout the process.
Audience
The author analyzes their music magazine and determines that the target audience is teenagers aged 16-19. Some key reasons include the modern color scheme, language, and features that appeal to both genders. The author ensured the magazine would appeal to both males and females by including neutral colors, fonts, and a variety of music artists. Comparing their magazine to an issue of NME magazine, the author finds they target a similar audience through aspects like modern photography, genres of music, and eye-catching designs.

The document evaluates the ways in which the author's media product, an R&B music magazine called "Sparkz", uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It discusses how the magazine mimics real magazines' color schemes, language use, artist appearances, and layouts based on research, but also challenges conventions with softer colors, a London-based artist, and lower price point. The target audience is described as 15-21 year olds, especially female fans of R&B/hip hop music and tattoos. Distribution through a company like IPC is proposed to reach the intended audience globally through both print and digital formats.

The student followed conventions of real pop magazines in their front cover, contents page, and double page spread. They used bright colors, images of a girl band, and informal language to target teenage girls. The student represented typical social groups featured in pop magazines and included content they believed would attract their intended audience.
evaluation question 2
This document discusses how a media product represents particular social groups. It focuses on a magazine targeted towards young adults aged 14-24 of both genders.
The front cover uses color schemes and designs that appeal more to teenagers rather than being too formal or using dull colors associated with magazines for older audiences. Both genders are represented through gender-neutral colors and coverlines that are not overly feminine.
The contents page also uses an informal, quirky layout to attract young readers. The colors are again gender-neutral and images/articles represent both pop and rock genres to satisfy the target audience.
While a double page spread features a rock band that may appeal more to males, it still represents females through the
Evaluation Question 5
The document discusses magazine design choices aimed at appealing to a target audience interested in rap and hip hop music. Key design elements chosen include the use of purple, gold and orange colors which are intended to attract both male and female readers while appearing bold and edgy. The model photographed is shown wearing clothing styles conventional for the target demographic and reflecting the rapper lifestyle. Language, events and cultural references used throughout the magazine are aimed at connecting with readers and building a sense of community among fans of the genre.
My evaluation
- My magazine targets a late teen to early twenties audience of any gender. It aims to attract both male and female readers through a gender-neutral color scheme and mix of male and female artists featured.
- The magazine follows conventions of other music magazines in its layout and design. It uses columns, images, and puffs/pull quotes to showcase artists and grab readers' attention.
- As a chart music magazine covering popular artists, it would be well-suited to distribution by an institution like the BBC, which could promote it through radio stations to reach a wide audience.
Evaluation question 2
My magazine represents middle class, white British teenage girls between 12-16 years old. It targets this demographic through the use of middle class looking white models around age 16, girly colors like pink and purple, and a fun, bubbly font and tone. The magazine portrays the social subgroup of "teenyboppers" - young girls interested in music and fashion trends - and aims to depict the stereotype of happy, suburban girls enjoying pop culture.

The magazine uses sophisticated yet fun colors and a mix of conventional and unconventional features to create a unique style representing the rock/pop music genre hybrid. Surveys showed the target audience was interested in articles on interviews, music news, careers and gossip, which were included. Focus group feedback supported the magazine's style and genre mix.
Question 4
- The magazine audience is aimed at both male and female teenagers, as evidenced by the vibrant color scheme used without gendered colors like pink or blue.
- The content, such as interviews, is informal to appeal to younger readers who want to keep up with their favorite artists.
- Images on the cover, such as a young model portrayed as Eminem wearing a hoodie, also signal the target age group of teenagers.

Deconstructing a scene from a film
The scene begins with two boats departing from the dock at night, with one boat carrying normal citizens and families who have been evacuated, while the other boat carries criminals in orange jumpsuits. Suspicious events start occurring on the criminal boat as lights flicker and communication devices stop working, indicating something bad is about to happen. A particularly muscular and tall black criminal is shown watching the guard suspiciously, fitting a stereotypical criminal portrayal. However, this stereotype is later contradicted when he decides not to blow up the other boat as part of the Joker's experiment.
My front cover design
This document contains a sketch of a front cover design including a masthead, main image, and main cover line. The designer added some color to the sketch but notes the colors are not final as they have not decided on definite colors yet. The sketch provides the basic layout and elements of the front cover design.
My Front Cover
The front cover of an indie music magazine uses conventions like a large masthead with an outline to stand out, circular shapes inspired by other covers, and a central image of an artist looking mysteriously into the distance to intrigue readers. It promotes new tour dates of popular indie bands and highlights "New Faces 2015" above images of featured up-and-coming artists to attract an audience interested in discovering new music. Bright, fun colors appeal to the target 16-30 year old demographic.
Target audience feedback
Lucy, age 17, gave positive feedback on the magazine cover, saying she liked the colors that stood out and attracted her age group. She also liked the positioning of the pictures and thought the text seemed indie-style. Connor and James, both age 17 and 16, also provided feedback on the double page spread, saying they liked the pictures but thought a more exciting font could have been used for the text.
My Contents Page
The document summarizes the design choices made for a contents page. It explains that the contents title matches the front cover masthead purposely to maintain a theme, but is smaller to make the masthead more prominent. The categories and page numbers are listed vertically in a box for standardization, but the box has lowered opacity to allow the background image to show through slightly, making the page unique. All images on the contents page have a dark theme to match, showing characters in black clothing against black-and-white backdrops to convey mystery through their distant gazes.
My double page spread
The document summarizes the design choices for a double-page magazine spread featuring artist Kayyah. The title uses Kayyah's name in bright blue to attract readers' attention. The introduction is also in blue to stand out. Instead of using one full-page image as most spreads do, the main image takes up half a page to allow more text. A quote is used as a pull quote to intrigue readers and be relatable. A Twitter bar is included for Kayyah to answer fan questions, as many magazines feature.
Q magazine
Q magazine is a popular monthly music magazine published in the UK. It was founded in 1986 to provide in-depth coverage of music and feature high quality photography. While not strictly an indie magazine, it covers both indie and pop music. It is known for readers' surveys ranking the greatest songs and artists, and has associated with charitable organizations. The magazine also employs distinctive double page spreads using images of artists over text.
Evaluation Part 6
From her preliminary task to her music magazine foundation portfolio, the student learned many new Photoshop skills. In her preliminary task, she only used basic skills and one original image with uniform text colors. However, for her music magazine she used varied colors, shapes like a yellow circle to announce an event, and multiple original images laid out professionally. She also included typical magazine elements like a barcode and price that were missing from her first attempt. Overall, her music magazine displayed more complex design, layout, and skill application compared to her initial preliminary task.
Evaluation Part 5
The document discusses the technologies and skills the author learned while constructing a magazine product. They learned how to use InDesign for multi-column page spreads, as it allowed for more in-depth editing than Photoshop. They also became familiar with using blogs and slideshare through uploading research and their final products. While previously knowing some Photoshop skills, the author refreshed their abilities by watching tutorials, as they found Photoshop easier to use than InDesign. Overall, creating the media product provided significant gains in their knowledge of editing software.
Evaluation part 4
The document discusses the target audience of a magazine. It notes that the magazine is aimed at both males and females ages 16-30. This is shown through the use of both male and female artists in the magazine and a simple, bold font and colors like red, yellow, black, and blue that appeal to both genders. However, one criticism was that the magazine should have included more pictures of males since only 2 small images of the same band were on the front cover and contents page. The magazine features artists whose fans are mainly 16-30, the target age range.

Evaluation Part 3
Bauer Media would be a suitable institution to distribute the author's indie magazine called Indigo for three key reasons:
1) Bauer Media has a gap in its market for indie magazines like Indigo, which would attract a new audience and help Bauer's coverage.
2) Indigo has a unique style that is different from Bauer's current offerings, which would intrigue audiences and help the magazine's brand.
3) Distributing Indigo would allow Bauer Media to expand into the indie genre and capitalize on their connections and audience in the USA.
Evaluation part 2
This media product targets 16-30 year olds who listen to indie artists like Bombay Bicycle Club and Lana Del Rey. It represents particular social groups through the clothing styles and colors featured that are common among indie music fans. Dark colors and unique patterns are used. The locations in photos and references to social media sites also represent the lifestyles and interests of these young indie music fans. Pull quotes from artists about being "hard to understand" further connects to the mysterious personality associated with this social group. Overall, the magazine is designed to attract and relate to these target audiences through visual conventions that match their styles and personalities.
Evaluation part 1 - Foundation portfolio
The document discusses how the author's indie music magazine media product both uses conventions from and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It uses conventions such as mastheads, front covers with release dates and prices, contents pages organized into categories, and double page spreads with large central images and pull quotes. However, it also challenges conventions by using a medium rather than close-up shot on the front cover, semi-transparent text boxes on the contents page, and a lightly opaque background behind text on the double page spread. The author aims to develop magazine conventions while putting their own spin on the genre.
My initial ideas for my music magazine front cover
The document discusses ideas for designing the front cover of an indie music magazine. It analyzes examples from other indie magazines that use bright colors like red and yellow alongside dark images. The author likes how the examples mention music festivals and have text positioned creatively. She plans to take her main image outdoors in a dark area and dress her subject in dark clothes to achieve a bright but dark effect. She also wants to include additional smaller images and use an outlined font for the magazine name to make it stand out.
Initial ideas for double page spread
This document discusses the author's initial ideas for a double-page magazine spread focusing on indie music. The author likes the placement of the pull quote in the example provided. They plan to use a plain white background to make elements stand out, and black text to match a model wearing black and dark blue. The text will be arranged in columns across both pages like the example, with the main image taking up around half of one page.
Some inspiration for my magazine photo shoot
The document provides inspiration for a magazine photo shoot by analyzing photos of indie bands Daughter and Bombay Bicycle Club. It describes recreating aspects of the bands' photos in her own shoot, including facial expressions, color schemes, angles, hairstyles, and clothing styles to achieve a similar mysterious, indie aesthetic. Key details like looking into the distance or being relaxed but not smiling were incorporated to match the mood of the original photos.
Photoshoot plan
The document contains plans for three photo shoots:
1) On November 1st, makeup and clothing for Ella Poli and Katie Halfyard will be done at 4pm, followed by photos of the boys at 5:20pm in Baildon village.
2) On January 9th, Kayyah Robun's makeup will be done at 2pm and clothing at 2:10pm, followed by photos outside of school from 2:25-2:45pm.
3) On March 16th, makeup for Kayyah Robun and Emily Capon will be done at 11:30am in the corridor near their classroom, with individual photos of each girl starting at 11:40am
NME music magazine

Evaluation Part 4
- 1. Who would be the audience for your media product?
- 2. The audience of my magazine would be both male and female, this is why I have used both males and females as artists for my magazine. Another way I have shown that my magazine is for both male and female through the conventions is the colour and font of my text. The font throughout the magazine is simple yet bold, it isn’t floaty or curly which would be considered girly or jagged and messy which would be considered boy like. The colours I used are mainly reds, yellows, blacks and blues and these are all colours you can associate with both male and female. The chosen colours also were correct for my target audience as my target audience is ages 16-30 and these are bright, fun colours that people of those ages like and they represent fun which is why the magazine is aimed at a younger audience.
- 3. One criticism I got from my target audience and that I agree with is that because my magazine is for both male and female I should’ve put more pictures of males in my magazine since I only used 2 of the same band in small images on my front cover and contents as seen here. My magazine is based on artists such as Bombay Bicycle Club, Daughter, Lana Del Rey and more, this is who my original images represent. These are artists whose fans are mainly between the ages of 16-30 which is the ages of my target audience.
