My product is a Reggae magazine which uses and which uses and challenges the other Reggae magazines. My magazines uses the convention of having the name of the magazine in the top left hand corner of my front cover. I did this as people will automatically looks there for the name of the magazine, and see it straight away.

I also used the reggae convention of writing with a lot of different fonts on the front cover, this helps keep the audience interested as they read.However I challenged the Reggae magazine convention of having a male on the front cover. Reggae magazine usually use men on the cover whereas other genre of music magazines such as hip pop more often use woman. I choose to use woman as I thought it would be something more unique to the Reggae genre which would turn heads and get people interested.

• I think my magazine represents the social groups of my target audience.

• The age 16-20 is represented through the images I have used, the girls in the images ages varies from 17-19 which shows my magazine represents the teenage and early 20 age group

• My magazine also represents the social group of people who are within the Reggae culture and music, I have achieved this through my contents page where I say what is in the magazine. I have researched what people who enjoy Reggae music like to do and have tried, to include things which would interest them in the magazine, for examples festive line ups.

How does media product represent particular social groups?

• The best place for my product to be distributed would be the news agents or supermarkets as it would get the product noticed by the huge range and variety of people who shop there.

• My product may also be distributed in places where my target audience would be. For example at Reggae festivals or in bars and clubs that play Reggae music.

• Another way to distribute my product could be to publish it online, this is becoming a more popular way for people to read magazines and would definitely reach my target audience 16-20 year olds.

Who would be the audience for your media product? My main audience for my product would be people aged

between 16-20. this is because from my questionnaires it tells me that this age group is most interested in buying music magazines. My audience would also be people who enjoy listening and

reading about Reggae music, as this is what the magazine is about, that is who I must target.

My target audience is both female and males as my questionnaires showed that both sexes read music magazines.

Women would be attracted to my magazine as it uses feminine colours on the covers such as yellow and red. Men would be

attracted to the magazine as I have used a woman on the front cover which would attract the opposite sex.

Page 9: Eval

How did you attract/address your audience? I attracted an audience of people who like Reggae music through using the

conventions of other established Reggae magazines. The bright colours on the front cover are a big feature of Reggae magazines. The bright colours would seem familiar to people who already buy Reggae magazines and

encourage them to buy mine as they are with it and know what they are getting. The bright colours would also get the attention of most people walking past the magazines in shop and would get them interested and then they would be more likely to buy the magazine. The photo on the

cover is also in medium long, which a lot of Reggae magazines use.

Front Cover Comparison

Looking back at my preliminary task my quality of presentation was dull and used very basic fonts where as on the other hand my music magazine is colour and uses various fonts to attract the audience. I have definitely learnt how to use Photoshop better.

Contents Comparison

Yet again my preliminary contents page is dull and not appealing. However my music magazine contents page has a contrasted colour background and images overlapping each other this is more appealing to my target audience.

DPS I never had experience making a double page spread due to

the fact I did not make one for my preliminary task. I have kept my DPS more interesting than the front cover and contents page. I have stuck to the reggae culture scenery. I have also stuck to the house style of 3 columns. My model has been cut out by the quick selection tool on Photoshop from one picture to the image now.

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

The process of making my music magazine was a challenge. I created a style that everyone liked especially my target audience. Looking back at my preliminary task I feel the main thing I have learnt is how to make my work

look professional. By looking at a lot of existing magazines I was able to understand the conventions of a music magazine and put them into place

in my magazine. I feel that my preliminary magazine looks quite unprofessional as I didn’t do such extensive research.

Another thing I have learnt in the progression from preliminary task to the final product is how to use Photoshop better. Even though I used

Photoshop in my preliminary task I was tentative and didn’t try out all the features available. For my final product I became much more comfortable using the programme, using the programme, using more features which

benefited my end product.
