Tom Pryce created a student magazine that uses various fonts, colors, photos and logos on the front cover to promote student activities and concerns. The contents page is easy to read. The magazine represents a wide range of social groups and topics from student trips to sports reports to attract a diverse audience and increase sales. The magazine will initially be distributed on campus and hopefully in local stores. It aims to appeal mainly to local college students by focusing on up-to-date campus topics in large, attention-grabbing fonts. The goal is for the magazine to be hugely successful and attract advertiser investments.

Evaluation of preliminary
The student magazine challenges some conventions of real magazines. While it includes codes like the date line and barcode, it lacks a selling line or unified color scheme. This targets a niche audience. The magazine represents students aged 12-21 through images of students working. It could be distributed by an educational institution like a college to promote opportunities to potential students, since it includes a barcode indicating it would be sold. The target audience is students, particularly teenagers and postgraduates.

T Evans Magazine Evaluation
My Magazine uses a similar layout format to popular music magazines like Kerrang by positioning pictures and text similarly throughout pages. It also follows conventions like using a large front cover picture to promote an artist. The magazine represents its target audience of 16-21 year old students and up-and-coming young musicians by using appropriate language and featuring exclusives of recently successful artists. The magazine would likely be distributed online by a new website willing to take risks on new brands, as major retailers only carry well-established magazines.

Digital food marketing in adolescence – surveys conducted in a Norwegian cont...
This document summarizes a presentation on digital food marketing in Norway. It finds that many Norwegian children and adolescents consume unhealthy amounts of sugar, saturated fats, soda, and energy drinks.

Studies show teenagers are regularly exposed to "advertainment" on social media that promotes unhealthy foods through entertainment and peer influence without being recognized as ads. The presentation calls for stronger protections of teenagers from online unhealthy food marketing.

Evaluation
My media product aims to attract a primary audience of music fans aged 16-21 who enjoy indie music, fashion, and lifestyle. It focuses exclusively on promoting the indie genre. Research showed the most popular artist among fans was Alex Turner, so featuring him exclusively could draw attention. I would pitch the product to media institutions like IPC, who are more open to funding new ideas from independent creators. The magazine uses conventions of real media products in its design, with a prominent cover image and article previews to engage readers. Informal language helps address the younger target audience. Creating the magazine helped me learn skills in using software like Photoshop and how to operate hardware like digital cameras.

Preliminary Evaluation
- 1. Tom PryceMedia evaluation<br />My media front page magazine product uses a wide range of conventions such as a various style of font and colour schemes in my Front Cover. I have also used several amounts of photos and Logos to promote other ways of being aware of student activities and concerns. The front cover also was very simple and a blotted style of showing the info. The contents page is also very easy to read.<br />My product represents a vast range of social group as it is showing topics that concern not just a selected social group. It ranges from Student union trips to Rugby match reports. This will result a wide range of audiences being attracted to the media product and a rise in sales. <br />The media institutions that will be distributing my product will obviously start from the college and hopefully within time reach local convenience stores and maybe even local chain stores like WH smith. We will also provide the magazine as a PDF file that will be available from early spring. Hopefully the result of huge success will result in large amounts selling hits which then can lead to certain advertisers willing to invest and advertise in the product.<br />The audience that I have aimed my product to is teenage and maybe some local residents of the near area of the college, for those who are interested in local events and news. But it will mainly be directed to teenage students of the college. For example the info on new up to date topics that is stated in the product. <br />I attracted the audience with large white on black fonts. This was done to give the viewer only the option to focus on the standing out white font. Also I mentioned the main topics of the college on the front page which attracts the audience to read on to view the topics that concern the particular individual. <br />I have learnt about several conventions that are essential for the production of a media product. I have learnt that to grab the media audience you need more than just presentational tools, but interesting student concerning topics. These variables are all key items to gaining great success within a media product.<br />
