Evaluation- Question 4- Who would be the audience for your media product? And why?

Below I have placed a drawing of a figure I would deem to be parf of my target audience which is very stereotypical and the text around it explains why they are the specific target audience and who they are.

Evaluation: Question 3- What kind of institution might distribute your product? And why?


Evaluation: Question 2- How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Below is a gif I created to show how my music magazine represents a particular social group

Similarities of images:
The similarities of the images are: The facial expressions displayed are very similar, both aiming to intimidate and show power by using a powerful stare, similar lighting used in the background to make both artists clearly stand out and visible, both are wearing flashy jewellery, hand placement and posture is also very similar (leaning a certain way with hands placed near the lower part of the body which emphasises that they don't care.


Differences of the images: Clothing is different in both images (one is wearing a loose top with chains around his neck and the other is wearing a red jacket looking like a JD model in some elements), the shot type is very different the image of Jay is more of a long shot which shows all of his body but the image of my artist displays half his posture, the posture is also slightly different as Jay leans back but my model leans forward and also lastly the hair; my model has lots of hair whereas Jay-z goes for the 'no hair no care look'.

Evaluation: Question 1- In what ways does your magazine use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products

Research and Planning- Finished Double page spread

This is the final draft of my music magazines double page spread, it has come a long way from the last draft, it now looks a lot neater, cover lines are in line with each other, cleaner fonts and font sizes and the colour scheme looks much better than the previous post, I used the inspiration from the magazine featufing Wiz Khalifa to improve the double page spread and make it look a lot more professional.
