Goodbye!
I have now finished my music magazine! and everything else that we had to do a long the way, and I also finished within deadline :)
Evaluation
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My magazine is mainly aimed at teenagers of young adults that are into indie and rock music. By using the colours I have used I think it gives the viewer an idea of the genre straight away, as you wouldn’t look at it and think it was an electro or pop magazine. The acoustic guitar on the front cover also helps with the genre, as it wouldn’t be a heavy metal magazine because they would use electric and bass guitars. The picture on the double page spread is very indie, it looks very relaxed and calm and this instantly shows the viewer that it is about a chilled out artist and tells them if that’s the kind of thing they would be interested in reading. Relying on audience feedback no-one said that they would prefer a coloured front cover picture, so this is another reason I think that the black and white image works well.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
I think Bauer would publish and distribute my magazine, as it is a similar genre to Q and Kerrang! Also the front cover is based on the style of Q and Kerrang, as the background image is simple but then the cover lines or bold and bright like Kerrang. I would expect Audio Magazine to be sold in the obvious music stores, such as HMV but would also expect to see it in large new agents as it would appeal to quite a lot of music magazine readers.
I think my magazine would give Bauer a middle type of magazine between Q and Kerrang, and I think a lot of people that read these magazines would be interested in reading Audio magazine because it has qualities of both Q and Kerrang.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
How did you attract/address your audience?

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have used Photoshop to do all of my pages and it has increased my knowledge on using layers as there are a lot of layers included in all of the pages. I edited all of my pictures using Photoshop and took all of my photos using a digital camera.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
