Evaluation

The music magazine i have crated follows forms and conventions of a real media product as i have followed close guideline to what makes a music magazine i have found these guide line through research i have carried out before starting my product.
My magazine represents and is targeted at a particular social group of youths as they have spare money to spend on magazines and going out which is a big issue within variety magazine. it represents its target age and social group very well as also through research from my questionnaire i found many teenager don't yet have a preferred type of music and older people do therefore the magazine was created for this audience to help people find there favourite type of music through the way it is host to many different types.
Institutions that may distribute my media product would be places like news agents. this is because they can be found everywhere therefore easier for the reader to purchase. As there is fashion include din my magazine it could also be distributed in clothes shops that are featured in the magazine like American apparel and Topshop.
I have attracted my target main target audience of teenagers in two ways one was the articles fin the magazine. a main feature of the magazine is that it has young upcoming artist on the front cover this inpirsers readers and causes them to buy the magazine continuously as they want to find out how to be successful. Updates on new tracks each mouth also encourages the reader to purchase the magazine as they wanna hear new song and be in the know about music. The other way I have attracted my audience is by the colour scheme and layout of the magazine, the red black and white are uni sex colours therefore will encourage both Male and Femaleto buy the magazine. the fonts where clear and the language used through the magazine appeals to both male and female and sexist in anyway.
i have learnt alot about imagine editing technologies from this product. I have found doing some tasks were harder than others and if i could do the product again i would propberly put more detail on to my plan about the school magazines so that i was more aware of diffrent way to use photoshop and minipulate images. I feell i ahve learnt a grate deal about the music magazine industry and find it a greate shame that people arent buying them any more bacause of the internet howver i also feel that there is room on the market for new magazines that would be sucessful and popular.
