The document discusses images selected and rejected for use in a music magazine. Several images were rejected for the front cover due to issues like poor posing, facial expressions not matching the theme, or low quality from lighting issues.

Images were also rejected for the content page for similar reasons, like subjects not facing the camera. One image was accepted for the content page because it fit the criteria of presenting a sophisticated artist. An image was accepted for the double page spread because the model's facial expressions matched details in the accompanying interview text.

A third magazine features an artist's facial expression and positions text to attract female readers by relating the artist's experience to things women face in life.
The document discusses how various digital tools helped the author construct their music magazine project from start to finish. Photoshop was used to design the cover, content page, and double page spread. Blogger allowed uploading work for teacher feedback and ensured the project wouldn't get lost. Facebook helped organize meetings with the model over messages and updates. WhatsApp maintained communication when taking photos on location. Google Drive facilitated an online reader survey. High-quality photos were taken with the school's Canon camera to make the magazine look professional. Overall, these digital tools made the music magazine project much more successful.
I used a consistent black and yellow colour theme throughout the magazine to create a bright, attractive design. The topics discussed on the front cover and content pages, such as what the artist has purchased recently, would interest the target audience and encourage them to read more. Summaries of more interesting topics were provided on the front and inside pages to further intrigue readers. An attractive model on the front cover and inside pages represented the artist and hinted at secrets through his facial expressions and poses, drawing the audience into the full story in the double page spread. These visual and content strategies helped attract and engage the target readership.
The target audience for the music magazine is youth aged 16-25. This age range tends to enjoy hip hop and R&B music due to its fast pace, beats and lyrical flow. A lower minimum age was considered but peers noted the magazine's language may not be appropriate for those under 16. Therefore, 16-25 was chosen as the target audience as the content and interests align with what this age group finds appealing.
Vibe magazine would be well-suited to distribute the author's media product because they used Vibe's layout and themes effectively in a professional manner. Both products cover similar music genres like hip hop and R&B and target the same audience and social groups. Unless Vibe finds the author's media product lacks professionalism, there is no other valid reason why Vibe would not distribute it due to the similarities in style, content and audience.
My media product is a music magazine aimed at representing young people aged 16 to 25. It features hip hop and R&B artists, which are popular genres among this target audience.

It also represents social media platforms like Twitter that the target audience uses to stay informed about music news by including an artist's tweet on the front cover and promoting various social networking sites inside.

He backed up the images in multiple storage forms to prevent losing them again.
