How it develops conventions of real media products and how it challenges
How my magazine develops upon real media products is it uses many of the codes and conventions that are typically found in other media products examples of this that are used are it has a title on it that uses very big and bold font I chose to use this because the magazine which I was using to help me with the design which was called vibe had uses this on its magazine. Another design choice which I also implemented into my own which was also from vibe magazine was that it used a very large picture on the front cover of who would be the main focus for most of the magazine and the text that is on the front cover that is linked to them will often be in the biggest font so that it will stand out to whoever the reader of the magazine is. Also on the front cover I used many plugs to show some of the other articles that were in the magazine that wasn’t one of the main ones to the reader. How my media product challenges other media products is with the double page spread it has quite a different design and also layout to the ones that were typically seen in some of the other double page spreads in other magazines.
How
it represents particular social groups.
How my magazine represents particular
social groups in
The magazine is it may show them to use a
lot of non standard english by
some of the language that is used in my magazine such as a lot of slang. It
also shows the kind of clothes that they would wear by what some of the people
in my magazine were wearing.
Audience
for my media product
The
audience for my media product would be anyone who would be interested in rap
music. This would be because this is what all of the magazine is based around
and does not talk in-depth about any other genre of music as this would not be
in keeping with the theme of the magazine. Also the design of the magazine in
general also gives a good idea of who the magazine would be primarily aimed at
examples of this would be that the font is very big and bold this would suggest
that it is aimed at a younger audience probably around 16-25 as the font would
stand out to them and make them want to buy the magazine. Another design
feature which would also suggest that it is aimed at a younger audience is that
there is not lots of text used in one article but are quite a lot of images as
this .
How
I attracted target audience to my media product
One of the ways which I attracted my
target audience to my media product is I took many of the design aspects for it
from vibe magazine examples of this would be the font that I used for the
heading of my magazine was bold so that it would stand out to whoever the
potential audience for the magazine is the font was also In a similar style to
the font that you would typically find on the front cover of vibe magazine.
Another way in which I attracted my target audience to the magazine is that the
layout of the front cover was very similar as there was one main title I found
on vibe which would stand out to the reader and then there would be other
articles which would not have as much importance placed on them.
What
I have learnt about using
technology to create a magazine
What I have learnt about using different
technologies from making a media product is I have got a much greater
understanding of how adobe Photoshop works and how to effectively edit any of
my work that I have done on it. Some of the techniques that I have learnt to
use to edit on adobe Photoshop is to know which design choices are appropriate
for the style of magazine that I am designing the style of the magazine being
like many of the rap magazine that are around at the moment. Another technology
which I have gained a much better understanding for from doing this is blogger
as before I had done this work I would not have had a very good understanding
of what a blog is and what it needed to be used for.
What
I have learnt from my preliminary task
Looking back at the preliminary task and
the work that I have produced since then it is clear that I have gained a much
better understanding of the tools on Adobe Photoshop and how to utilise them
properly in order to create a effective media product that appeals to the
target audience that it was aimed at. Also looking back at my preliminary task
and the work that I have produced now it is also clear that I know a lot more
about magazine and there design choices that they choose as I have had to look
at them in order for me to implement them into my own media product so that it
would be effective and get the audience that it was aiming for. These design
choices include things such as the layout as on my preliminary task the layout was not very good for a
magazine however on my finished product it was suitable for a magazine as it
had a large heading with a image that dominated the front covert of the
magazine which is how it was in many of the magazine that I looked into and
researched in order for me to create my final media product. Also another
design choice which I became much more aware of when designing my final
magazine was the font that was used as the font which is used in the magazine
was also used for a reason in order for it to appeal to a certain target
audience.
What
media institute would distribute my product?
•The kind of media institute that would
distribute my product is one that would distribute magazines that were based
off music as that is what my magazine is about.
