Evaluation Of My Final Product

Image
7 Questions 1)   In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? For my media product, I created my own music magazine. It does follow the code and conventions of a real, professional, published music magazine. I researched different types of music magazines and went to my local supermarket and purchased a couple of music magazines that relate to the genre of mus ic I used, which was pop, to help give me an idea of what a professional music magazine consists of. My music magazine follows the codes & conventions because it includes a 'Puff' which gives the reader information about that specific magazine like the date it was published, how much the magazine will cost etc. While I was researching music magazines on the internet, I come across a music magazine that I found very attractive so I decided to use it as a base for my music magazine. I then edited it and took bits out and developed it to make it my own w...

Introduction to brief

For the start of my media studies we are going to research and analyse different types of magazines and learn how to use and master the programs Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. To develop my skills in Photoshop, I edited photos, I will be editing my primary photos and adapting and developing imagery. I will be using InDesign as it is a standard DTP package and it will allow me to present a professional looking magazine, I have to create a contents page, front cover and double-page spread. I will be researching lots of different types of college magazines to give me an insight of what a magazine should look like and hat it should present, after that I will start to investigate different types of music magazines and what affects they can have on its readers.

Evaluation of research

This is my evaluation of all the research that I have to done to create my own music magazine. I will discuss the reasons why I done things the way I did and I will give my opinion on some of the tasks that we had to complete. The first thing that I done in our class was bring in samples of music magazines such as Billboard and Vibe. In doing this, it would give us ideas and inspiration of what we could do to make our own magazine look professional, it was also useful to look back on if I got stuck and didn't know what to put in my magazine. The most helpful piece of work that we done was the questionnaire and interview with random people. It helped to add important little things that could make a big difference. Because of this, I got other people's opinions on what I had done so far and due to their comments I edited a few things to make it more appealing to my target audience. If I did not take these steps then my target audience wouldn't be attracted to my magazine so y...
