Evaluation Q 1
The document discusses how the media products use and develop conventions of real media while also challenging some conventions. For the front cover, codes from an existing magazine were followed, such as images along the bottom. The contents page took inspiration from Time Out magazine but challenged its bright color scheme. Page 3/4 drew from a magazine but used the background color from the image. Limited examples existed for the billboard format. The website design was limited by the platform used but included elements seen on other sites, such as a welcome image and article snippet.
Evaluation question 2: How effective is the combination of your main product ...
The combination of the main product and ancillary texts was effective for the young target audience. A consistent blue, grey, and white color scheme and minimal text was used across the coursework, billboard, and website to appeal to younger readers. The billboard featured images of the magazine cover on different platforms to engage young adults, while the website served as a regularly updated digital version of the annual magazine to provide additional information for readers.
Evaluation Question 3: What have you learnt from your audience feedback?
The document discusses how the author used a focus group on Facebook to get feedback at various stages of a production project. This included deciding on page layouts, front cover images, and billboard colors. While not all focus group members always responded, the feedback was generally unanimous and helped shape the author's final decisions. Getting audience perspective from the focus group allowed the author to accommodate preferences and make improvements.

The document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of real magazines. It summarizes how each part of the magazine was based on and developed from "Spin" magazine. The front cover was aimed at a similar target audience as "Spin" and used neutral colors. The contents page continued the neutral color scheme and included typical magazine elements like the title, issue number, and short article descriptions. The double page spread was also based on "Spin" but with some modifications. Overall, the magazine draws from real magazine conventions but makes some adaptations to achieve a consistent simple style inspired by "Spin".

二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【微信：A575476】即可
三、进国企，银行，事业单位，考公务员等等，这些单位是必需要提供真实教育部认证的，办理教育部认证所需资料众多且烦琐，所有材料您都必须提供原件，我们凭借丰富的经验，快捷的绿色通道帮您快速整合材料，让您少走弯路。
