readership. This is a feature used by many established
music magazines.
•The secondary heading is white in font and placed on a

readers attention. This is used by many magazines and can
be seen in magazine covers in my research.

•The images used on the double page spread anchor
the idea of the ‘high-flying riser’ whom is new to the
music industry, this adds intrigue to the article and
may provoke the reader to invest in the article.
6. How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?
• I believe my media product represents the younger generation. This is done through the:
– The use of a sleek colour scheme of purple, black and white which is considered ‘fashionable’ and would
represent the younger generation.
– The use of font types which are of a graffiti style of which represents the age of the artist the main article is

– The articles featured within the article also reflect the younger generation of whom is interested in the current
events within the music scene such as the death of Whitney Houston.

topics represents the
younger generation the
magazine aims to appeal to.
7. What Kind of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product and Why?
• ‘Q’ Magazine is distributed by Bauer Media group. I believe they would also distribute my product to the main
magazine retailers due to its original format of news stories within the music world.
• My magazine will be released monthly enabling for the collection of news stories within the music industry to
accumulate.
• It will retail at the price of £2.99 making it accessible for my target audience.
• Newsagents will also be a • This is a well known

therefore will have easy access
to newsagents.
8. Who Would Be The Audience For Your Media Product?
• I am aiming at a teenage audience of which have a interest in the inner workings of the music industry. The raw
and straight to the point articles within the magazine clearly reflect the age group of 13-19 year olds who are too
old for younger pop magazines and wish to invest in a product, which has a professional and more adult look to it.
• From the questionnaire I gathered that the magazine had to be:
– Low cost – accessible for the younger ages whom have little/no income.
– On-trend with up to date stories and exclusives.
– A ‘Adult’ feel – to get away from the teenage pop theme magazines.
• I feel the magazine appeals more to a female readership due to the fonts, colours and articles featured. I could improve
my magazine by opening my target market to feature both genders through a change in the colour scheme, fonts used and
articles featured.

11. Looking Back at your Preliminary Task, What do you Feel you Have Learnt in
the Progression From it to the Full Product?
• We can see the clear progression from my preliminary task to my main task. In my preliminary task I used
a simplistic font style as well as limited effects on the images and backgrounds of the cover and contents
page.
• I chose to use a black background as from my research I concluded that bloc colours were frequently
used. From my preliminary task I was able to deduce that this colour was to strong to use on a music
magazine and instead opted for a ‘gradient’ style background of a light shade of purple.
• The contents of my preliminary task worked well with a banner to label the page – I decided to carry on
this style to my main task.
• In my preliminary task I chose to use the logo ‘prospects’ this did not have a different colour from the
background and instead made the cover page appear to look more like a poster than a magazine. I altered
this in my main task using a black circle to separate the logo from the rest of the magazine – for easy
recognition.
• The placements of my articles on my preliminary task in the centre of the page also made the cover page
look like a poster – I changed this in my main task to show them on the left hand side of the cover page –
this complies with convention.
