- 6. Q1: In what ways does your product use develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products... • I wanted my music magazine to stick to the usual conventions of a typical music magazine, but a more stripped down version. I researched and looked at a variety of different magazines, NME, KERRANG and Q, and I really liked the layout and how it stuck to one particular colour scheme. So I used this idea in my own work. By using a few main cover-lines, it meant that the readers of the magazine wouldn’t be over-loaded with information and they wold have to by the magazine in order to see what else was on offer. Another feature that I wanted to use in my magazine was the banner concept. Some music magazines have banners along the top and bottom, but I chose to only use one at the bottom, as it adds extra information and it doesn’t give away too much to the audience. Overall, I kept quite religiously to the typical conventions of a pop/rock magazine. The features, colour scheme and main image are all typical of a music magazine and this as the feel i was trying to achieve.

- 32. Q2: How does your media product represent particular social groups... • I wanted to reach out to the teenage social group as they typically read music magazines and are interested in music. For a start on my double page spread, Iused a female teenager who is easily relatable to my target audience. She is posed relaxed and is looking straight at the audience. After conducting some initial research, i saw that most teenagers listened to pop/ rock music, so i wanted to show this in my model and the text. With her choice of clothing, she seems very hip and relatable and this is something I did deliberately. Another way I represented my target audience was by choosing artists that my audience would listen to. To find this out, i made a questionnaire for my class mates to take part in. This helped me in my final decision making.
- 34. Q3: What kind of media institution might distribute your product and why
- 35. Q3: What kind of media institution might distribute your product and why • I think it would be appropriate for the distribution team at IPC media to distribute my magazine. This is because they already distribute a number of popular magazines that include NME, NOW, Pick Me Up and LOOK which are all magazines that i would expect my target audience to read. Being popular titles, i think my magazine would benefit being distributed by them, it would mean better sales and advertisement around the UK which would boost profit and income.

- 60. Q5: How did you attract/ address your audience... • Like previously stated, I used teenage role models to feature in my magazine, like Jessie J and Olly Murs, who are also musicians whom my target audience would be interested in reading about.

- 69. Q6: What have you learnt about technologies of constructing this product... • During the course of creating my media products, I was introduced to a range of new software on the MAC’s that I hadn't used before. Using IN-DESIGN was the first piece I used that i hadn’t come across before. After a few ‘test runs’ I was soon using the program confidently enough to create a well presented media magazine. Another Program I used was Photoshop CS3. On my blog, I have posted a step by step piece to show you how to colour block, which was a technique Ilearnt from a tutorial on YOUTUBE. Again, I hadn't used this type of editing software before but after a practice go on a different image I felt compelled to use it to make my work more interesting. I have learnt many things about the ADOBE software and I tried to show every aspect of my learning in my work.
