My media product uses conventions of real magazines such as logos, mastheads, and large central images to attract audiences. Font choices and colloquial language help cater to different social groups. The magazine would be distributed digitally on the college website, in local shops, and the college shop to make it accessible to the target student audience. Issues addressed in the magazine concern students to engage them. Microsoft Publisher was used to design the magazine as it provides templates and allows images to be directly inserted.

This document provides details about a proposed football magazine called "Full Steam Magazine". It would be a 32-page monthly magazine printed in English and sold exclusively in Europe for €15. The target audience is European males aged 16-27 who are interested in football and social class A. It would cover topics like transfers, injuries, and upcoming players. The magazine aims to engage its audience through market research on design preferences.

My target audience is people aged 16-25 who may not have significant incomes yet. To reach this audience affordably, my magazine will be sold in small corner stores and larger stores like WHSmith. It will also have an online version to access more people given my audience's interest in technology. While the online version allows a larger market, physical copies will still be available for those without internet access. Bauer magazine would be the best institution to distribute my magazine since they already publish the similar magazine Kerrang!, so they understand the market and have experience and connections in magazine publishing and distribution.
Question 3
Beaur Media Group would likely distribute the magazine because:
1) They already distribute similar magazines like Q Magazine that target young indie audiences.
2) They have expertise reaching this niche audience across different media platforms.
3) Distributing through an existing large company allows access to their distribution channels and expertise promoting similar products.
Evaluation
The document summarizes a student magazine project. It describes the layout conventions used on the cover page, articles pages, and technology used. It discusses distributing the magazine mainly through large retailers like HMV and WHSmith in cities. A survey found the target audience was older teens interested in indie and rock music. Feedback was gathered through online surveys shared on Facebook. The student learned Photoshop skills like adjustments, brushes and text effects to design the magazine.
Question 3
Bauer Media would be a suitable distributor for my magazine as they already distribute a similar magazine, Kerrang!, which targets the same teenage audience interested in rock music. Bauer Media understands this audience well through Kerrang! magazine and radio stations. Distributing with Bauer Media would allow my magazine to reach a wide audience through their existing marketing channels and audience insights.
Slideshare upload
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.

Media magazine analysis
The cover uses a simple and minimalist design that avoids overcrowding. The heavy sans serif font draws attention to the bold white masthead on a blue background. There is a clear color scheme with the model's eyes, dress, and hair matching the background and font colors. The only text is a single word "heavenly" kicker, likely describing the model's gaze upward, and implies the contents feature her without revealing too much. The well-designed layout guides the eye from the masthead to the picture to the kicker and finally the barcode at the bottom, with no unnecessary information.

Consistent use of sans serif fonts, high key lighting, and a colour scheme of red, white, and black create visual unity across the layout.
images for cover and dps
The document discusses photo shots taken for the front cover and double page spread of a music magazine. It analyzes conventions for different types of images. Front cover shots usually show artists looking directly at the camera in mid or close-up shots. Double page spreads more often use casual long shots. The document examines its own shots taken and determines several could work for the cover while others are better suited to the more relaxed double page spread due to the artists' poses and facial expressions.

For their own music magazine, Jordan will include a distinctive masthead, relevant main image with caption, and bright colored luring text. They also analyzed contents pages with clear formatting, multiple article images, and page numbers. Jordan will incorporate these lessons into their own contents page. Finally, Jordan examined double page spreads usually featuring a single large image and quotes, which they will emulate in their own magazine spread.
Audience research

Media magazine analysis
- 1. AS Media Evaluation- Preliminary Task<br />My media product uses, challenges and developed forms and conventions of real media products in several ways. The use of a logo in my magazine provides an iconic symbol in which the audience can relate to whenever they see it. This is similar to the “MTV” logo which makes the “MTV” magazine easily recognisable to it audience. The masthead of the magazine is bold and stands out on the front cover. This immediately draws you to the magazine and may entice an audience. A Large image is in the centre of the page that represents the main issue of the magazine. This technique is employed by the majority of magazines to intrigue their own target audience. <br />My media product caters for a variety of social groups. The use of font is an important factor here. A slim, italic font brings connotations of moving at speed; therefore I used this to portray the sports headline on the front cover. Another use of font is a typewriter effect to represent intelligence when referring to UCAS. The use of competitions that are boldly advertised on the paper may attract a wide audience in the hope that they may win something. I also used colloquial language such as “exams” so the target audience is able to read comfortably.<br />My media product would be distributed over three institutions. Firstly, I would upload the magazine to the internet where college students can subscribe and access it on the college website. This makes it very accessible and easy to view. Secondly, I would offer the magazine in local retail shops such as WH Smith’s so students are able to purchase the magazine even outside college. Finally, the magazine would be distributed in the college shop, giving students the opportunity to receive a hard copy of the magazine very easily.<br />My target audience for the magazine was students from the college. The issues concern them and therefore all the techniques used were employed to cater for them.<br />I addressed my audience by including issues that concern them, and that they can relate too. For example during this period of examinations my main point of sale was advice for these. I also was able to directly address the audience as the information is personal to them, as it is centred on college activities, e.g. sport events. I was able to attract my audience by the use of bold texts and eye catching images as stated previously. Also the use of competitions creates a sense that there is something to be gained out of reading the magazine.<br />The platform I choose to use for my media product was Microsoft Publisher. This was useful as it provides many templates in which to construct my magazine around. I was also able to incorporate images from the internet directly into my magazine which was very useful. In the production of my media product I have learnt that technology is of high importance as it allows you to distribute on a large scale and saves a huge amount of time.<br />Word free in bold letters to attract peopleMasthead is christmas themed <br />14097005080<br />Artic monkeys in christmas outfits provides humour and entices its readershipLarge list of popular bands, shows how much the magazine is offering<br />Captain is placed in the middle to show his leadershipThe colour gold emphaises the possiblility of england winning the world cup<br />1400175270510<br />The red and white connotes England international coloursLight coming from the background showing they are close to victory<br />Desolate background fits the title of solaceJames bond is back in large letters to attract there target audience <br />981075290195<br />Other articles shown in smaller text as they are not as big as james bond Centre of the page to show him as the main focus of the magazine<br />
