Evaluation
This document contains responses to questions about a media product (a magazine) created by the author. In response to the first question about how the magazine uses or challenges conventions, the author notes that the magazine follows conventions by placing the masthead in the top left corner and using a consistent color scheme throughout. The author represents the working class through the depiction of an artist in photos. The target audience is identified as white males and females aged 18-30 interested in indie rock music. Key elements like the masthead, color scheme, and headlines are used to attract this target audience. The author learned the importance of elements like color scheme, image variety, and time management in creating the full magazine product.
beggining of evaluation
The magazine uses conventions from real music magazines like NME, such as featuring artists on the cover and including articles about new musical talent. However, it also challenges some conventions by using original photography on the cover and not including freebies. The magazine represents social groups like college students and young workers aged 16-25 by using models in that age range and portraying an "indie" style that stands out from other magazines through its unique presentation and variety of rock/indie artists featured.

Evaluation
My music magazine's front cover and contents page use conventional layouts seen in other magazines, but the double page spread has an irregular layout that challenges conventions. The color scheme uses unusual bright neon colors not typically seen.
The magazine represents the "Smart Urban" social group as it focuses on urban/R&B/hip hop music. Its lively colors represent this group's partying lifestyle.
Future PLC and Bauer are unlikely to distribute the magazine as their existing magazines have different genres. IPC Media may distribute it since they only have one music magazine, allowing them to branch out into another genre.
The target audience is the "Smart Urban" tribe of teenagers who like downloading artists like Usher,

- 1. MUSIC MAGAZINE EVALUATION AS MEDIA STUDIES CONNOR GAY
- 2. Magazine Influences These magazines were a big help to me for inventing a design that I would use for my Magazine; NME and Q
- 3. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? My magazine definitely has that touch of ‘NME’ to it, especially seen in the contents page: Also the way that the title is bold and outlined in ‘NME’, seemed to be a good idea for my Magazine, so this is what I did with the title for MUSAC. Unlike ‘NME’ there are no picture contents pages in this magazine like mine, so using an influence of another music magazine, I brought this idea to my magazine. I included the subscription tab seen at the bottom of the ‘NME’ magazine into MUSAC. Also I liked how on the front cover of ‘Q’ magazine, It is quite plane with the front cover, because there is just a picture, barcode, skyline and a title. I used this idea for ‘MUSAC’.
- 4. How does your media product represent particular social groups? The price of the magazine is very affordable, so it can be available for those of the emulators social class as well as those of the achievers.
- 5. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? The media institution that I would use, would be ‘ICP Media’, for the reason that they can link to all kinds of music, so it would be fairly easy to get into, in comparison to other Media Institutions who do not link to all music types. Also they are a very huge Media Institution, so the publicity would be very useful.
- 6. Who would be the audience for your media product? For my audience, I would try to range for a big audience, because although my Music Magazine is an Indie based magazine, I would include artists like Mumford and Sons, or Adele, where lots of different people like them even though these artist may not specialize in the music genre that their fans would usually go for. Both males and females of around 14-19 should be interested in my magazine. Indie is a very neutral band genre, so for this reason many people would enjoy Indie music of some sort, whether it be Indie or Indie Rock. Furthermore, after recent surveying, 36 people were asked what their favorite artist’s genres were. 82% of them said Indie. Because lots of people like Indie music, they would be more likely to subscribe to my Magazine rather than a different style magazine.
- 7. How did you attract/ address your audience? This magazine can attract to both a male and female variety, because a girl upon seeing this magazine, will see a teenage girl making her own way up to the music industry and a role model, however as well as this, a boy would see and attractive young girl as well as a talented young musician. The ‘Black Keys’ T-Shirt that she wears automatically tells the audience that she is an Indie Rock Artist. Also the bright colours behind her doesn’t exactly tell us that she is a heavy rock singer.
- 8. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? Photoshop was obviously a huge part towards my end product. Photoshop was were I edited all my images, created backgrounds, wrote my text and put it all together. Using Photoshop was a struggle at some points, because although I have used it many times before, it brought me to a new level of understanding of it. For example, I explored the ‘Liquify’ tool, which was very new to me, but I soon adapted to it and used it in various ways like taking in the body shapes and curves of my chosen music artists.
- 9. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? When I first saw the preliminary task, I thought instantly of doing an Alternative Rock magazine. This is because it was my favorite type of music, however I then surveyed, and found that Indie music is liked more on average then Alternative Rock, so the chances are, that my magazine would be read more if it was Indie based then Alternative Rock based. I had to keep thinking about how to represent Indie music through different aspects of my magazine, for example colour. I had to keep adapting the colour which suited Indie styled music the best. This is why I used orangey yellow on the front cover, faded purple on the contents and light blue on the double page spread.
