Media Evaluation 7

What do you feel you have learnt in the progression from creating the school magazine to creating your music magazine?

The main thing i have learnt is how to use the design technologies such as photoshop and indesign. I was able to use the programmes better and was able to produce higher quality work due to the practice i was gaining from the school magazine to the music magazine.
Also i learnt how to produce a more clear and fluent magazine that isnt over crowded or that has too much information on it at once. This allowed me to create a higher standard piece of work for my music magazine then that of my school magazine.

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenege forms and conventions of real media products.

My magazine has a lot of typical codes and conventions that a magazine has such as: date, edition number, barcode, a masthead, main coverline, main image and sub coverlines.
The title of my magazine follows typical conventions of a magazine as it is in larger text then the rest of the front cover to make it stand out so the audience knows what magazine it is but also the placement of the main title at the top of the page is a code of magazine media.
The main image is placed in the centre of my front cover like most magzine images are so i am following the traditional conventions of a magazine.
The use of the barcode in the bottom right corner means that it doesnt take a lot of space up as it is one of the less important parts of the magazine.
The date and issue number on my magazine are at the top left hand corner in a smaller font compared to the rest of the magazines front cover font due to it being less important and not what someone looking to buy the magazine would look at straight away.

What kind of media institutuion might distribute your music magazine and why?

I think that the publisher who would most suit my magazine and would publish it more than other publishers is Townsquare Media who currently publish another rap magazine in the form of XXL which is one of only a handfull of rap magazines on the market. The reason i would ask Twonsquare Media to publsih my magazine would be the fact that they would know which is the best audience to aim at as they already have a rap magazine.
