Who would be the audience for your media product?

• The audience of my magazine would be teenagers from the age of 14-20 year olds. Both male and female. They obviously have to enjoy the hip hop genre of music.

How did you attract/address your audience?

• I attracted my audience by mostly the title ‘Swagger’ this would make the audience pick up the magazine and then have a look at the front cover. I then made sell lines naming famous artists so that would attract them to pick it up. Lastly I used colloquial language so the teenagers can relate to what has been written.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of

constructing this product?

• To be honest I have not learnt all that much on the technology sides of things as I did use photo shop and power point presentation for my GCSE media projects. But obviously I have learnt some new things like the healing tool in photo shop, it makes certain stains and marks disappear. Also the cloning tool I got used to quite quickly as I used it quite often.
