Soap opera fans claim that these programs satisfy several of their needs according to uses and gratification theory:
- Cognitive needs - Learning about relationships and social issues through the stories of characters.
- Affective needs - Feeling emotionally invested in characters provides a sense of well-being.

- Social integrative needs - Viewers can "work through" arguments about relationships and society through the stories, while remaining removed from directly facing these issues themselves.

They applied these new skills to create a professional double-page magazine spread with high quality images, an effective layout, and text that uses different fonts and design elements to appeal to audiences.
Evaluation – question 6
The document discusses technologies used to construct a magazine product. It describes learning to use a Canon camera by watching tutorials on settings like aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Photoshop tutorials were used to learn editing skills like adjusting contrast and creating monochrome images. Microsoft PowerPoint was used to present research in a visual format. The internet was heavily relied on through tools like Blogger to document the process, Slideshare to share presentations, YouTube for tutorials, and Messenger for a focus group.
Evaluation – question 5
The document discusses how the author attracted and addressed their target audience in their magazine layout. They used colloquial terms, pluralistic representations of gender and ethnicity, and social media links to appeal to a mainstream youth audience. On the front cover, a bold title and pull quote are intended to draw readers in. The contents page lists familiar artists and has a simple navigation. Double page spreads use pull quotes, large bold artist names, and powerful images with direct address to attract readers and create narrative tension enticing them to read further.
Evaluation – question 1
This document analyzes how the media product both uses conventions from real magazines as well as challenges conventions. It discusses how the front cover uses conventions like a masthead, anchor text, and pull quote from magazines like NME and Q Magazine. However, it also challenges conventions through the use of a black, white, and navy color scheme and unconventional lighting in the main image. The contents page similarly both uses numbering and column conventions while also challenging conventions through an unconventional masthead font and inclusion of social media links and competitions. Double page spreads also combine conventional layouts, images, and text styles seen in magazines like Q and Kerrang with some unconventional design elements.
Evaluation – question 4
The target audience for the magazine is 16-20 year olds who are interested in and influenced by pop and hip-hop music. Both male and female readers of all ethnicities are included in the target demographic. The creator has used a focus group matching this description to help develop and refine the magazine, showing them adaptations and taking their opinions and votes into account in order to appeal to this audience's range of opinions.
Evaluation – question 2
The document discusses how a media product represents social groups. It represents relatable young artists between 18-25 years old, appealing to both males and females. While most of the visible artists are female, the tone, content, and layout aim to appeal to both genders. Powerful shots and body language are used to represent females as subjects rather than objects. The layout aims to appeal to younger audiences through a visual and simplistic design while also including some sophisticated elements to attract an older audience. Images use direct engagement with the audience to create personal relationships and represent females as subjects. The target audience is positioned to understand the magazine in the preferred way through relatable artists and content that creates narrative tension.
Evaluation – question 3
Time Inc. UK publishes over 350 million copies of magazines per year, including NME which targets a similar age range audience to the author's music magazine. While NME's genre is different, Time Inc. could take an unconventional approach to publishing the author's magazine and broaden their genres. However, they may not be looking to publish a new genre of music magazine. Bauer Media Group may be interested in an unconventional music magazine but their experience is in more mainstream styles. Overall, Time Inc.'s experience targeting a similar audience and ownership of TV programs could help widely distribute the magazine.
Evaluation question 6
Through constructing a product, the author learned about Photoshop and Blogger technologies. For Photoshop, they gained familiarity with tools like the magic wand and cloning tool through tutorials and trial and error. Over months of use, the author learned to rasterize layers and edit photographs by adjusting contrast, brightness, and filters. For Blogger, the author learned how to build a website template through trial and error and use of online help forums to ask questions.
Evaluation question 4&5
The document discusses the target audience and addressing of the audience for a media product called "EMERGE". The target audience is described as young females ages 16-25. To attract this audience, the magazine features mostly female models and stories, uses elegant fonts and formal clothing of the models. The goal is to convey messages of female strength and independence to the target female readership.
Evaluation question 3
Time Inc. would be a suitable publisher for the music magazine due to its existing publication of music magazines like NME that target a male audience. The proposed magazine, "EMERGE", would have a similar music genre focus but target a female audience aged 16-25, filling a gap in the market. As a large media company, Time Warner's brand recognition could help attract teenage readers who are familiar with its TV programs. Alternatively, SpinMedia might also be a good fit as it owns pop culture websites and magazines that target teenagers. Through its social media platform Buzznet and ownership of Vibe magazine, SpinMedia has shown it can successfully reach a wide teenage audience.
Evaluation question 2
The media product represents female social groups aged 16 to 25 without a set ethnicity. Most models used were female to target a female music magazine audience in that age bracket. The front cover aims to portray the main model as a strong, independent character rather than being consumed by the male gaze. The contents page features a male model with his shirt slightly undone to create a "female gaze" where men can be sexual objects. The double page spread uses a model from the target age range and has a more informal interview style to connect with teenage readers.

Evaluation – question 4
- 1. EVALUATION – QUESTION 4 Who would be the audience for your media product?
- 2. Target Audience The target audience for my magazine: • 16-20 year olds • Pop/Hip-hop music interested/influenced audience • Both genders and all ethnicities Throughout the development of my magazine, I have referred to my focus group which consists of these characteristics. Every adaptation has been shown to this group, their opinion and a general vote has been taken into account. I found this to be extremely useful, as they are large group with a range of opinions and they can differentiate easily between a magazine they would approach and another that wouldn’t appeal to them.
