In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms & conventions of real media products?
I used a non-conventional layout & colour scheme for my design. This consisted of a blue, yellow & purple which isn't widely used in the media industry. I did generally base my magazine on the Z & F models though, while basing it all around what magazines used to really look like in the 80's.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My magazine focuses on people with a 'vintage' fashion & music sense. The magazine represents men & women as equal & the same as each other while making the human race look happier than it really is.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product & why?
I don't really know any media institutions that would distribute a magazine similar to mine. This is because it is based on what vintage magazines looked like & now magazine layouts & styles have generally moved on.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
The audience for my magazine is probably more aimed towards men than women, however it should appeal to both really because of the kind of articles that are in it. The fashion/styles in the magazine mean that it would be directed towards people with a vintage style.
How did you attract/address your audience?
I used extremely bold colours that would be eye appealing to the audience, while also using an extremely bold font that also creates a bold feeling.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have learnt that you have to be careful in how you create the magazine & that you have to think hard with regards to the layout of it. I have also learnt how to create a magazine cover, contents page & article on Photoshop.
Looking back at your preliminary take, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
I have learnt how to create on decent looking cover on Photoshop whereas before, I didn't make things look as professional. I learnt out certain styles can also fail dismally while unlikely styles can work well.
