Media Music Magazine Evaluation1
For my AS media studies coursework I have made a music magazine, my magazine is aimed at boys and girls in there late teens and a bit older, the genre I have used in my music magazine is R&B/Rap.
My music magazine challenges form and convention of real magazines because on the front cover, contents page and double page spread are all based on the same boy band. This is unusual because most magazines have lots of pictures of all different bands.
My media music magazine represents particular social groups because I have made my magazine quite simple and expensive I have also made the front cover texture glossy instead of grainy or matt, this would suggest that my magazine is more for a wealthy person and someone that can afford the luxury of being able to buy music magazine, they would also have to have a strong interest in music and especially the genre of R&B/Rap.
The institutions that might distribute my music magazine are large supermarket shops for example Tesco and Sainsbury’s and smaller newsagents and shops this is because they get a large range of people shopping in them and you find them everywhere in the UK. You would also be able to purchase my music magazine on the magazine website.
The audience for my Music magazine is Teenage boys and girls and young men and women. This is because magazine is for anyone who has an interest in R&B/Rap music however it’s not cheap so you would probably have to be in your late teens before you bought it.
I addressed the audience in my magazine in an interview form for my double page spread, this was an easy and interesting way of making my double page spread. The front cover is simple and the text I used was bold and bright this will catch the reader’s eye when they are looking at the magazines. The Image used on the front cover is the boy band who is staring on the double page spread.
Since I have started my music magazine I have learnt how to use Photoshop on the computers and that has been really interesting because I have been able to edit photos and change the colour of things, it was also nice finding out how magazine are made. I have also learnt a lot more terminology and I have learnt more about the media since staring my music magazine.
