FINAL FULL PRODUCT

EVALUATION- Audience Feeback

I have made a video of feedback from people in my key demographic so can determine the strengths of weakness' of my media product in regards to attracting the correct audience. I believe that the product is effective at doing this as most of the feedback is positive, for example the genre is immediately recognisable and the audience find the magazine attention grabbing. however there are some improvements to be made but overall the product is effective at reaching out to the target audience.

EVALUATION- Looking back at the preliminary task, what do I feel I have learned in the progression from it to the full product?

EVALUATION- Audience feedback

EVALUATION- What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

EVALUATION- Who would be the audience for your product?

EVALUATION- What media institution might distribute the media product and why?

EVALUATION- How does the media product represent particular social groups?

I used the polls I made to generate a key demographic of younger teens in the working class who don't really have much money. From this is was able to stereotype the audience and aim the magazine at them specifically. This allowed me to create the magazine based on this idea and it allowed me to know what i can use to attract the right audience. For example on the front cover i used a promotional free gift of a set of free posters. I used this because I used the research and the stereotype of the demographic to find out what my key audience would be more interested in. I then used this to design my magazine as i could use the correct connotations and codes which would attract the correct demographic. I feel that these poll's helped me because they allowed me to make the product attract the correct audience and the correct social group which meant that it would be attractive to the key demographic.

Double Page Spread Final

This is my final double page spread and i have used feedback from the other pages and drafts to make this more effective. I have used the conventions i have researched like the use of the pull quotes and the drop cap. I believe that the colour scheme of the page also suits the magazines house style and this is supported by the use of the text styles which is similar to the text used in of the parts of the magazine. I believe that this makes the page look more professional and more like a legitimate magazine double page spread. However i think that the spacing and layout is a bit ineffective as the page doesn't look uniform and organised. For example the masthead at the top of the article should be thinner to be the same width as the text, this would make that side of the page look less messy and organised. A previous draft of this page had the same image but the colour scheme was more blue which didn't fit the house style and the text style also didn't fit the house style; making the page look out of place when put with the other parts of the magazine. I have tried to use a similar technique with the edges of the white area which is also present on the front cover. I believe that this has the same rebellious connotations that suit the target audience. Overall i believe that this is an effective double page spread but it could have some modifications to be improved.
