Question 7
I have learned that creating a full product requires more effort than initially thought. When doing the preliminary school magazine task, the front cover design had a small picture and fonts, but developing the full magazine required designing the layout, writing articles, and selecting photos. This process showed how much time and work goes into publishing a magazine in terms of production, distribution, and targeting the audience. The preliminary task only focused on aesthetics, rather than the purpose of informing readers about the magazine's content.
Question 4
The audience for the media product includes a wide range from younger audiences interested in new artists to older audiences interested in artists inspired by the bands they grew up with. The style also aims to attract working class to upper class individuals across both genders, with appeals of attractive artists and musical talent. The goal is to attract fans of older music and bring inspiration from classical rock examples.

Question 3
This document discusses which media institution would be best suited to distribute a new music magazine. In 3 sentences:
IPC Media would be the best choice as they currently publish NME, which has high sales numbers, demonstrating their ability to successfully distribute magazines. As IPC Media focuses on rock, pop and indie artists rather than mainstream charts, they would be a good fit for the intended style of the new magazine. IPC Media's expertise across multiple music magazines and media forms means they could best promote the new title and help it attract a wider audience by covering topics not addressed in their current publications.
