Evaluation questions 2
This document contains information about a media product - a magazine called Supercharged focused on electronic music. It discusses the target audience as being teens and young adults aged 15-25 interested in electronic music. It outlines some of the magazine's planned sections like interviews, upcoming events, and competitions. It also discusses how the magazine would be distributed through an existing publisher of electronic music magazines to help gain readership.

Reader research
The document discusses readers profile research conducted by Zoe Toase. It defines a readers profile as a demographic analysis of a company's users developed for advertisers, or a profile created by content producers to tailor content for their audience. Zoe examines readers profiles from magazines NME, Q, and KERRANG to learn about their structure and the information provided. Based on this research, Zoe decides her own readers profile will include features like a collage of audience images, magazine price/release frequency, lifestyle facts and statistics about her target readership gathered from surveys. The profile will follow her company's color scheme and keep the design simple and straight to the point.
Surv 1 bill
The survey results showed that the respondent's preferred billboards that were landscape oriented with a unique style and predominantly featured images rather than text. Specifically, over 80% preferred a landscape format. Half felt unique style was important for memorability and a third noted images were important. Based on this, the document recommends including contact details like a website or social media on the billboard, using a landscape orientation, incorporating a unique style through images and graphics, and focusing on images while including some accompanying text.

My target audience for the magazine is teens to mid-twenties who enjoy music genres featured in magazines like Kerrang!. As most will be students or early career, the magazine must be affordable and distributed widely through both physical stores and digital formats online. An online version allows accessing a larger market as most people can use computers. While the digital format reaches more, physical copies in stores are also important for those without technology access. Bauer Media is best suited to distribute the magazine since they already publish a similar title in Kerrang! and have experience and connections in the industry.

College magazine evaluation
This document evaluates a college magazine created by Jonathan Heap. It summarizes how the magazine uses and develops conventions of real magazines. The front cover incorporates conventions like the masthead, puff, sell line and date line. However, it also challenges conventions by having a unique masthead design and bold, jagged puff. The contents page is more traditional but could be improved. The magazine represents 17-18 year old college students, though only features male students. A school or sixth form would be suitable institutions to distribute the magazine. The intended audience is students and teachers and the document discusses how the magazine attracted its audience. Jonathan Heap learned new skills in using technologies like cameras, Microsoft Publisher and Photoshop through creating the magazine

Evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products. It discusses using page numbers for navigation, editing the main image over the masthead on the cover, using a non-primary color scheme, informal writing style, consistent fonts with variations, cover lines with large and small text, including a barcode, using a pull quote, mixing direct address and natural photography, and representing gender, ethnicity, age, and social groups. It also covers what was learned about technologies, software, research methods, the importance of planning, and skills with design programs.
Q3&4
This document discusses the target audience and distribution methods for a proposed magazine. The target audience is males and females ages 16-24 who enjoy rock music. To reach this audience, the magazine will be affordably priced and distributed both physically in stores and online. Digital distribution online allows the magazine to access a wider audience, as most people in the target age range use computers and smartphones. While an online version provides extra content like videos, physical copies will still be available for those without internet access. Bauer Media is proposed as the best company to distribute the magazine, as they have experience with a similar successful publication.
Question 2 Evaluation Question

To attract this audience, the author planned to use eye-catching colors and photos, pull quotes to generate interest, casual language, and digital/social media platforms for easy access and two-way communication.
Music magazine – the evaluation final
Rachael Ejimofor evaluated her final music magazine project. Her front cover both conformed to and challenged conventions by including standard elements but placing the masthead in front of the image. Her contents page used different colored page numbers and topic headings. The double-page spread matched house colors and included photo credits but used quotes instead of sell lines. She distributed the magazine at churches, youth groups, stores and supermarkets to reach her target audience of urban gospel-interested teens and young adults in London. Rachael learned photography, design and formatting skills to improve her magazine from preliminary to final versions.
Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses the feedback the student received from their audience regarding magazine ideas. They created surveys and profiles of potential readers to better understand their interests, which influenced decisions like focusing on technology over design and pricing the magazine affordably. Character drawings and social media-style profiles of readers provided more insight into what content would appeal to the target audience. The student concluded that audience research was critical to creating successful media products.
Ancillary tasks-student textual analysis
The web page layout follows conventional design principles with the masthead at the top to signify the institution's importance. Categories are listed horizontally below for easy navigation. However, featured sections below are not clearly separated, making the page appear cluttered and overwhelming. While image-heavy, this appeals to younger audiences, but may seem too immature for some readers seeking more detailed content. Specific regional focus could engage local audiences and boost community involvement.
As media studies evaluation
- The magazine uses conventions typical of music magazines like having the name in bold letters at the top with the logo, but also challenges some conventions.
- It includes features expected on magazine covers like the price and barcode, and follows conventions for layouts inside like the double page spread.
- The magazine represents its target audience of 16-21 year old "indie" teenagers through its images, language, and music-focused content and features.

Evaluation
The document discusses how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real magazines.

The product represents females in its color scheme and layout but features an equal number of males and females. It mostly represents white people due to the featured bands and models all being white and the alternative
Question 3
The document discusses strategies for distributing a pop culture magazine called "Pop It".

This information will influence the video's narrative, imagery, and actors to appeal more to women. The audience also prefers to watch music videos on YouTube and wants the video to have a narrative plot, good actors, and costumes.

Associating my Magazine with established Brand names should reinforce that my Magazine is a reputable product. “ FAST, INTERESTING” These three points are What I believe to be the Most effective factors In advertising. They are the basis for Establishing my reputation.
- 6. Here, the text is slightly distorted and difficult to read. This makes it different and individual, which I felt reflected my target “indie” audience. The scribbly graffiti effect here almost over whelms the text. I relied heavily on my audience being attracted by the initial layout and photography to pull them in, leaving their curiosity to lure them into reading more. However, where I have challenged conventions, I have also conformed to many. My masthead is accordingly situated, I have a price, bar code, skyline and the majority of my text is sat within the left 3 rd of the page. I have situated my text either side of the main picture. Usually a contents page focuses predominately on writing, however I have used a strong and powerful photograph. Being more visually interesting was much more important in my mind than text volume. Although the position and amount of text flouts a typical convention, the layout does not. I have a list of page titles sorted chronologically, listed vertically. Also, to the right I have recommended sections, with titles and featuring articles – making popular subjects easier to find. For my interview, I tried to obey the majority of conventions. As this is the more serious part of my magazine, appealing to the more serious music fans, giving it a stronger professional look will appeal to them more than lots of fancy pictures. However, using a decorative title keeps with the continuous magazine style.
- 7. I aimed my magazine at 16-18 year olds, as I could easily relate to this age group, and my survey results allowed me support my own thoughts with others. So what are stereotypical teenage attributes?... Continueous use of Graffiti. Obviously not representative of every teen.. But a common association . Throughout my pages, urban settings were used. I wanted to reinforce a relatable setting (such as streets and alleys) whilst also suggesting rebellious teen tendencies. The majority of teenagers are familiar with city settings, spending most of their time in them. Situating my photos in the countryside would be completely irrelevant and un-relatable to my audience I also tried to represent a teenage demographic through their dialect. In my interview I’ve used a more adolescent vocabulary; “Fu*k, Suckers, Tw*ts” etc My main articles feature subjects on music festivals and opportunities to save money. I put these in as I recognise that teens reading this magazine will undoubtedly be into music, and as 16-18 year olds, probably attend a university/college – thus probably being short of money .

- 10. Distributing my magazine through similar channels will allow me to also create blogs, keeping fans updated with “Pro-Pella” events and issues. Also providing my magazine through a small selection of retailers to begin with will allow more impulse buyers, and reach passers by through its innovative look. Pulling in first time and impulse buyers will allow for my reputation to establish within the market. As “Pro Pella’s” name grows on the high street, my fans will continuously grow on MySpace, Facebook ect. Once a fairly confident name has been built through the selection of shops and internet affiliations, i will then break into the more mainstream means of Distribution. Proving to reputable retailers such as WHSmith, that my Magazine will pull in customers will prove easier with the evidence of internet followers, and previous sales figures. Once “Pro Pella” is on branded shelves like WHSmith, Waterstones and online distributers like IPC, Future.com – already existing fans of other music mags like NME and Kerrang! Should become curious and take an interest in “Pro Pella”. These distributing operations should lead to a huge success in my magazine and therefore sales figures of “Pro Pella”. NME uses lots of online means of distribution and promotion. They have MySpace and Facebook accounts, allowing for event updates and magazine advertisements. Their magazine’s can be purchased through retailers such as WHSmith, Amazon, Waterstones and Martin McColl's.
