2.  My music magazine portrays the
correct colour scheme used in real
media products.
 They are vibrant and light, suitable for
my genre of magazine.
 The layout I used in all my pages were
inspired by real music magazine
layouts.
 They are effective and encourage the
reader to look at everything on the
page.
 For my font styles I used some
examples from real music magazines
while choosing my own font style.
 The use of images in my magazine are
similar to that of a professional one.
 On the cover for example there is one
main image, which is centred in the
middle of the page.
 The position of the date, price,
barcode and issue number is similar to
that on a real music magazine.

3.  The social group I represented in my music magazine is young,
low to medium class people.
 The pose of the star in the images represents a chavy appeal
 The age of the star is fairly young with average quality
clothing with a standard setting.
 I haven't represented the social group I intended as well as I
could of done.
 The setting in the image and props in the image could be
improved to represent social groups more effectively

4.  The music magazine I created is aimed at a fairly young
audience. Both girls and boys would find it appealing,
possibly leaning towards girls. Simply because of it being a
pop magazine and the colours and images used. The age
range would be between 12-18 year olds.

5.  The publisher Jann Wenner of the
famous music magazine The Rolling
Stones would be ideal for producing
and distributing my music magazine.
 The Rolling Stones has a similar
genre to my music magazine, it
contains all the latest pop stars and
music.
 This company would produce and
distribute my music magazine
because it has many similar
conventions. For example the
layout, colour schemes, content
etc.
 It also has the same genre of music
pop. If I had made a rock music
magazine then this company would
be less willing to produce and
distribute the magazine

6.  I used a number of techniques
to appeal to my target
audience.
 The vibrant colours like red,
blue, green etc are suitable for
young teenage boys and girls.
 The cognitive language used
throughout the magazine which
is neither too slang, nor too
formal appeals to my target
audience well. It may even
attract other consumers.
 The content in the magazine
appeals greatly to the target
audience. The names of bands,
pop artists etc like Rhianna,
Jessie J will be easily recognized
by my target audience.

7.  In the process of designing my music magazine I have
developed my skill in certain software’s like Publisher
and PowerPoint. These skills that I have learnt will help
me in the future when it comes to designing things, like
music magazines. The images used in the magazine
were taken with my own camera, my skill and
understanding of photography has increased. I have
learnt for example the way to take the picture to make
it suitable for my genre of magazine, I have also
increased my skill in altering the photo in publisher for
example to make it more genuine.

8.  Comparing to the preliminary task my full product has
seen a fair amount of improvement in a number of
aspects such as layout, font styles, colour schemes etc.
The font styles used in full product for example has a
much wider variety than in my preliminary task.
However there may have been improvements but they
weren’t massive, the school magazine I created was to
a good standard, so there wasn’t a large amount to
improve on. Also at the time of making my preliminary
task my skills in using software like publisher were at a
basic level until they developed later on.
