Media evaluation powerpoint.
The document discusses how the author's media product, a rock music magazine called "Element", uses and challenges conventions of real rock music magazines. It follows many conventions such as having bands mentioned on the cover, consistent fonts, and claiming an exclusive story. However, it challenges conventions by having an album review on the contents page and using a female model on the cover rather than a male-focused image. The target audience would be teenagers and young adults interested in rock music. A company like Kerrang! magazine would be suited to distribute the magazine given its similar audience and genre. The author aimed to attract this audience through the use of dark colors associated with rock music and an eye-catching cover image.

This includes having bands mentioned on the cover, an organized contents page with sections, consistent fonts, and claiming an interview is "exclusive" to draw readers. It also notes how the magazine represents its target audience through stereotypical imagery of the model on the cover. The student learned skills like photo editing and how to construct a magazine to appeal to its intended audience.

Genres of music
- 1. Rock Possibly the most popular genre of music in the world, there are several magazines that focus solely on the Rock genre. For example Kerrang, Rolling Stone and Classic Rock (pictured right.) The popularity of these types of magazines could be due to the wide range of bands and artists that fall into this category, as bands as diverse as Queen and Metallica – who have very different sounds – both fall into the same genre.
- 2. Classical Classical music magazines usually have a relaxed tone, however they don’t stand out in the shops because of the formal layout. However these magazines are aimed at an older demographic so the bright colours and in your face tones are not needed to attract the customers interest.
- 3. R&B The background of these magazines are fairly plain and the main picture takes up a fair amount of the page, this is probably so the person on the cover is the first thing people see and due to these magazines being aimed at a younger audience, seeing someone they know of and enjoy listening to on a magazine, it would encourage them to buy.
- 4. Pop The pop genre is tailored more towards the female genre, as the colours used are bright and feminine. There are also stories about ‘gossip’ and about ‘private pictures’ of males, I don’t think these images really appeal to a male audience. There are also shapes such as spikey text boxes, these are also in bright colours which further show this genre leans towards females.
