In what ways does your media

product use, develop or

challenge forms and

conventions of real media

products?

To find a title for my magazine I looked at magazines that have already been created.

All these have short catchy names. Which is why I chose Buzzed!

I chose to take my photographs in the

studio.This Enabled me to have

a white background.

This gives a professional

look.

It would also have

allowed me to

change my

background more

easily

I used drumsticks to show the girl in my

magazine was a rock star.

The clothes I used were typical of a girl in

a rock band - Black skinny Jeans and a

white graphic t-shirt.

My artist has a mischievous grin on her

face and looks like she has a rebellious

side this is stereotypical of a rock star.

I used a teenage girl as my main cover

artist.

She belongs to a girl band.

This goes against stereotypes as bands

are usually male.

I used the

layout from this

contents page

as a guide to

mine.

I used a

symbol to

show the

magazine’s

name on the

contents page

I found many

Contents page

contained a big

image of a

band I decided

to replicate this.

I found they tended to place text

on the right hand side of the

page so I replicated this with my

own

Magazines use Quotations

to encourage the

audience to read the

article. I chose to do this

with mine.

How does your media

product represent

particular social

groups?

My Magazine is aimed at a teen

audience. To show this I:

I used a teenager on the cover –

relatable.

Also the font I used for the title was teen

friendly.

My magazine is aimed at white, working

class Teenagers. This is because of the

artist on the front.

This is also because of the price. My

magazine is monthly so £2 is cheap.

What kind of media

institute might

distribute your media

product and why?

If my magazine was being published I

would expect to publish my

magazine.

This is because they already publish NME.

Who would be the

audience for your

media product

My audience is based around teenagers

who are into rock music.

This is what I imagine my target

audience would look like.

How would you

attract/address your

audience

To attract my audience I have used Bold

colours which grab attention.

Also I used a model who is very pretty

and this will encourage people to buy

the magazine because they aspire to

look like her.

What have you learnt

about technologies

from the process of

constructing this

product?

I used Photoshop for the first time whilst creating my product.

These are the most important things I learned.

This is how to

set up the

page for the

front page

and the

contents

page.

For The double

page spread I

changed this to

A3

The text tool was the tool I

used the most it is a key

factor to making a

magazine.

I used the

horizontal type

tool

The colour replacement tool

is important for changing the

colour of things. I used this to

make my artists eyes brighter.

Theses are the layers. If

you want to change

something you have to

select the layer before

you can change it.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full programme?

There is more

empty space

on the prelim

task.

I used the

same

colour

scheme.

I made

the price

stand out

more.

More

information

less empty

space.

Main story

stands out

more.

Better use

of colours.

Colour

scheme

more

apparent

How has feedback

helped?

Most people who gave feedback said they like the colour

scheme.

Most people said they liked the magazine and that they would buy it.
