Note to moderator

Dear moderator,

Please find below my Foundation Portfolio E321,

My brief was too research,plan and evaluate a front cover,contents page and double page spread which is for a music magazine.Please use the labels to navigate you around the pages and view the magazine. I chose to create an indie/pop genre of the magazine as i find it interesting and thought it would be well suited to my target audience.

 Kind regards,

Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

To create my answer to this question I made it on a software called evernote.

Question 2 - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

2.How does your media product represent particular social groups?

 

I recorded myself to answer this question click on the link to listen to the recording.



Theese are my final products of my front cover,contents page and double page spread.I think my product represented my social group that i aimed it towards very well because of the colouring of the fonts that I used were quite girly and feminine e.g pinks,purples, also the font style is quite vintage and flowy.This can relate to the audience as they can clearly see that the magazine is set out for the target audience which is girls.

This would be the sort of artists that my viewers are interested in so i included theese within the magazine, Also my target audience would be interested in this sort of style and appearence of the artists which will encourage them more to read it.Throughout the magazine the language used is aimes towards a teen audience, with specific topics I spoke about and the language I used which suited that age range.My magazine has quite a vintage feel which can relate to the audience being indie/pop style as they normally represent this type of unique and indie style.I thought i would keep my font style easy and clear to read but varied it slightly so it was suited to a younger audience.

Question 3- What kind of media insitution might distribute your product and why ?

I created a website on Wix for my answer to this question

4 and 5.Who would be the audiende for your media product and how did you attract/address the audience?

I used Prezi to create my answer to the evaluation of question 6

Evaulation Question 7- looking back at your prelim task what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to your final product?
