Evaluation Question One - In what ways does your media product use, develop o...
The document discusses how the author's media product, a music magazine called "Louder", uses and challenges conventions of real music magazines.
It uses typical conventions like featuring pop artists on the cover, including free posters, differentiated questions and answers in interviews, and clear sectioning on the contents page.
However, it challenges conventions by using a more subtle cover image without heavy makeup, keeping the focus exclusively on music rather than gossip, employing mature coloring rather than bright feminine tones, and excluding pose-based celebrity images.
The author aimed to target a slightly older, more mature audience interested specifically in music rather than general celebrity gossip. Overall, the magazine complies with most conventions but adapts some to better suit
Planning1
This includes my pitch for magazine name, price and frequency. The planning also includes a reader profile and color scheme for my magazine.
Pitch
The document outlines a magazine pitch for a proposed monthly print magazine called "THE PITCH" focusing on indie music. Key details include:
- The title refers to both the musical term "pitch" and pitching content to readers.
- The magazine will cover all subgenres of indie music and associated culture.
- It will be published monthly to appeal to readers who prefer monthly magazines and ensure quality over quantity or outdated content.
- The cover price of £4.99 was selected to be affordable for the target middle-class audience and provide fair value for the monthly content.
Q5
The document discusses how the author attracted their audience to their magazine in several key ways:
1) They coordinated the fashion and costumes of the cover models to match the overall magazine design. This helped tie the visual elements together.
2) They featured a single large main image on the cover rather than multiple smaller images to avoid clutter and keep the focus on the key artist.
3) They priced the magazine affordably at £2.99 per month to be accessible to students and others on a budget, in contrast to competitors costing over £8 per month.
4) They focused on the indie pop music genre, which was underrepresented in magazines, and incorporated related artistic styles, terminology,
Q4
The document discusses the target audience for a media product. It notes that during the research phase, the target audience was kept varied since the type of magazine was unknown. Research on existing magazines like NME and Q helped understand how they target audiences. A questionnaire was used to gather audience preferences on factors like price and content. The results informed criteria for the magazine. Originally, both female and male readers were targeted, but during production the audience became more female-oriented due to focusing on a female pop band and female indie pop music, reflecting the author's interests.
Evaluation Question 2 - How did you attract/ address your audience?
The document discusses how the author attracted their target audience to their music magazine. They researched existing pop music magazines to understand what attracted their target audience. They found that these magazines used bright colors, more images than text, and featured young artists relevant to the target genre. For their own magazine, the author used bright colors on the cover and pages, included many images of young pop artists, and wrote in an informal style with basic language and layout to appeal to their young teenage female target audience.

Evaluation question 2 A1
The document discusses a music magazine called "WIRED" and how it would be distributed. It describes the target audience as 16+ year old teenagers interested in pop music. Major Line Music is identified as the most suitable distributor as it specializes in music magazines and would have effective promotion and distribution channels. Publishers and distributors will only take on products that show evidence of commercial success in the magazine market.
Audience Research
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted to inform the creation of a new music magazine. Key findings include:
- The target audience is 16-25 years old based on the age range of survey respondents.
- Over 80% of respondents were male, so the magazine will be aimed primarily at men.
- Nearly 80% of respondents identified as middle class, so content will be tailored to appeal to that demographic.
- The majority of respondents preferred the indie music genre, so the magazine will focus on indie music coverage.
- Respondents listened to an average of over 3 hours of music daily, so the magazine will provide detailed music content for avid fans.
Analysing music magazines

Evaluation 1
The document summarizes the magazine design conventions that were followed and deviated from in creating a classical music magazine. Key conventions included using a dominant image of a female musician on the cover to attract readers, including sub-images to showcase contents, and employing different fonts. While most conventions were followed, the document notes the cover did not sexualize the model and the magazine only featured white teenage girls due to the college location, making it less representative of society. The target audience of younger people was meant to go against stereotypes of classical music audiences. A large publishing company could help distribute the magazine to make money and tap their knowledge of the target readership.
Alternative press
Alternative Press is an American music magazine founded in 1985 that provides interviews, photos, release information and music charts on alternative rock bands. It struggled financially in its early years but grew in popularity and circulation in the 1990s as it covered well-known groups. By 2005, it had expanded to 112 pages on average and launched a radio show and sponsored tours to promote alternative rock music to its target audience of teenagers and young adults aged 15-30.
Audience research
The survey responses showed that the magazine's audience is majority female aged 16-19 who enjoy hip hop and rock music. As a result, the magazine will have more feminine design elements and focus on pop music and younger audiences by including content that appeals to teenagers. The survey also found that most listeners enjoy music every day and read magazines monthly, with Q magazine being the most popular. This informs the magazine's music-focused content and monthly publication schedule.
Question 5 ferdig
The magazine attracts its audience through clear, well-lit celebrity photos taken in a studio. The models are made to look like real celebrities to pique readers' interest. A pull quote from Beyoncé and advertising a contest prize of festival tickets also attract readers. Research found the target audience is mainly girls aged 16-19, so the magazine focuses on interesting celebrities and a clean, relaxing design for easy reading. Inspiration was drawn from the popular music magazine Q in terms of design and content. Clean colors like grey, white, and black are used to attract more readers.
Final questionnaire
The document summarizes the responses to a questionnaire about design and content preferences for a pop music magazine. Key findings include that the target audience of digital natives prefers to get magazine content digitally. They are more interested in pictures of artists than text. Specifically, they want to see solo female artists featured and learn about artists' careers. They also prefer a magazine with 3 images and cover lines on the cover, written in a casual font style, costing between £3-4, and using a red color scheme.
Question 3
This document discusses distributing a pop music magazine through a media institution. It considers Bauer Media and Immediate Media Company as potential institutions. Bauer Media is favored due to its size, experience with music magazines, and ability to promote the magazine across multiple platforms. Synergy marketing ideas are proposed, such as a POPCORN music award and radio station to increase brand recognition. The document also analyzes how the magazine's design and content would attract attention, interest, desire, and action from the target audience according to the AIDA model.

The magazine is priced affordably at £1.50 to be accessible to its primarily working class and student readership who have limited budgets. Content provides inspiration and advice for aspiring young musicians while addressing career choices relevant to the target age range.
Question 4
The document discusses the target audience for a magazine about drum and bass music. The intended audience is 16-30 year olds who are fans of this genre of music. Market research found that few magazines currently cover this genre, so the author aims to fill that gap.

Task 2 evaluation
The document discusses how the media product, a music magazine, represents its target audience. The target audience is described as mainly white males aged 16-21 who enjoy alternative rock music and festivals.

Media magazines
- 1. Music Magazines The Main Features: Many music magazines are writing to inform rather than to persuade. They give readers an insight to what the current news is from the music industry. There are usually interviews with artists and in some more informal magazines they usually include some ‘gossip’. In my power point I will show an existing front cover analysed in more depth.
- 3. Clear Heading -This is used to grab the attention of potential readers Sub Headings -They are used to give readers an insight to what they can find in the magazine Free Gifts - The aim of these are to help entice potential customers to buy the magazine Main Photo - The purpose of this is to also draw readers to the magazine as it is usually a celebrity so it makes the magazine seem more prestigious Headline - Normally consist of outtakes from the interview with the cover star, to make you want to read the full interview Case Study I chose to analyse this magazine as I feel that it has the most in common with my own music magazine, it has the same target market and it includes the same type of music and features, such as free gifts and gossip.
- 5. (2) How does your media product represent particular social groups? (4) Who would be the audience for your media product? After researching existing music magazines, it was clear that there was a lack of Pop magazines, I also noticed that there was a gap in the market for a magazine with more of a female audience. This is because after looking at magazines such as ‘NME’ I found that they were targeted at more Individual music as opposed to everyday sounds. Therefore my answer to the above question is that I think it would appeal to females of a young age, this is because it has enticements of free posters and includes a ‘Gossip with Georgia’ which sounds quite girly and teenage so to speak. I hoped to include a range of musical genres as I feel that this would help to broaden possible readers, so I included a female ‘pop star’ as the main feature on the front page and I also included on my contents page features such as the live lounge which features acoustic music, this would help entice a different genre of music lovers. I think that the cover photo used helps to create quite a tasteful image, this is due to the position of the model and also her clothes aren’t revealing, which doesn’t give off the wrong impressions to the younger audience. The front cover uses a variety of fonts and colours, this makes the product eye-catching. The fonts used I feel are clear so it is therefore suitable for the intended audience.
