How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My magazine “MUS!Q” challenges the stereotypical teenager and young adults.
Teenagers are shown to be careless, violent and associated with underage
drinking and drugs. However my magazine MUSIQ doesn’t portray that image of
teenagers as it as it shows young people with aspirations.




                   The stereo typical teenager                                My magazine shows

                   portrayed as being a thug                                  aspiring. My model is

How does your media product represent particular social groups?




        The first picture shows the connotations surrounding
        teenage girls, however my magazine challenges the
        connotations by presenting the female model to look
        decent and powerful. This also shows that my magazine
        is not aimed at “chavs”. It also makes female readers
        want to aspire to be like the female model.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?




Bauer Media Group is a very success full media group they have different forms of
media such as , magazines, radio stations and television channels. They have 99
iconic brands
Bauer Media Group would publish my magazine because they have a gap in the
market. All of their music magazines are made for males. The don’t have any Hip-
Hop magazines aimed at young adults and teenagers. For example their magazine
Q’s median age is 27. By targeting a much younger audience they can get a bigger
profit as the price of my magazine is a low price this would mean that more young
people can afford to purchase the magazine.
Who would be the audience for your media product?


My Media product is aimed around the age of 16-25. I feel that the
connotations around my media product are suited to people in the age
group. The fonts that I used and the images would stereotypically
attract people in this category. I used this age group because most of
the magazines are aimed at a much older generation. My magazine
features interest of the younger generations by including adverts one
Beats By Dre as their becoming popular in the younger generations.


My audience definition is that
    They watch music channels
    Own the latest trends and trainers
    Listen to new and upcoming artist on YouTube
    Be interested in Hip-Hop and urban music . They must recognise
     the artists on the front cover.
How did you attract/address your audience?


The connotations of my magazine means that its
aimed at Radical aspirers.

The audience think that they are individuals and
they have individual taste.

They also want to achieve more , I used the front
cover with the bling to show a richer side of hip-
hop so that the audience can aspire to that.

My target audience would be on the D to E on the
Jicnar Scale .
D to E means the audience is semi or unskilled
workers and unemployed people. Also people in
low income jobs.
This is because their in full time education of in low
income jobs.
How did you attract/address your audience?

I used language that would appeal
to my audience. I used this to attract
my audience as the language
relates to them.



                           I included the barcode because
                           smartphones are popular within
                           teenagers. This makes it easier to
                           access the website on their phones.

                      I used a drop shadow behind the
                      image this creates an effect as it
                      looks more professional therefore it
                      can attract both genders to my
                      magazine.
Audience responses

                                              This magazine is great. I feel it really

                                              music that is displayed in it. However, I do
                                              feel it is overpriced and teenagers might
                                              not be willing to spent that much money
                                              on a magazine.

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




                          I have gained some InDesign skills from the first time I used InDesign for
                          my preliminary exercise. I have used InDesign when be siding what type
                          face to use for my stand first also when making my double page spread. I
                          have found InDesign very useful and it was easily accessible, this made it
                          easier for me to do a don’t of my work on it. I took some getting used to
                          then it became simple to use.


                          I have gained some Photoshop skills . This allowed me to edit pictures, cut the
                          picture out of the background. I found photo shop very helpful in making my
                          magazine as I was able to make the magazine how I wanted to make it . I found
                          photo shop very difficult to use however after a couple weeks of using it I
                          became familiar with the software which gave me great result which my magazine
                          cover.




                          I used a Nikon camera to take my pictures. This mean I could use top quality
                          images in my magazine. I also took the pictures portrait. So that I can get more
                          out of the image. It was very accessible to use and I found that the camera
                          produced good pictures.
I have learnt how to construct my interviews
well, and it was easily accessible as I had this
software at home, therefore making it easier for
me to work from many places.




  I found using Microsoft PowerPoint easier
  than using Microsoft word document as it is
  easier to label and annotate my work. It uses
  a range of different techniques which result in
  making pictures and titles stand out thus
  attracting people to the magazine.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it
to the full product?


                            I used this flat plan for my contents page. However I had to alter some
                            pages because I felt that they were in the wrong place. I showed this using
                            my contents page. I have learnt that I can make some changes when
                            planning the pages in my magazine contents.



                                        I changed the layout out of my magazine cover and layout after
                                        researching more Hip-Hop and urban music magazines. I felt that
                                        my magazine wouldn’t appeal to my target audience. It was
                                        important that I chose a contents page layout that would attract
                                        more readers and appeal to them. I think I have made a
                                        progression in understanding how other magazines layout the
                                        cover and contents page. I also felt that I have grasped a better
                                        understanding of my audience as I was able to identify what
                                        would appeal to them and what wouldn’t.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression
                                         from it to the full product?
                           The main image for my preliminary exercise is
                           not every professional. The main image is also
                           not looking at the audience this is shown as in
                           my final magazine cover the model is not

                             Since the preliminary exercise I have learnt some
                             more skills in using photo shop. After researching
                             magazine covers I have designed my magazine
                             cover so that it looks like existing ones . The first
                             magazine that I designed the typeface is not clear
                             enough for the reader to read.

Their conventional in order to show the audience what genre the magazine is MAIN IMAGE It is conventional for male models to be cut of above the waist of the magazine. Showing how BAR CODES the models are not used to attract the audience in a sexual way. However female models are cut off above the legs I saw this on most magazines Bar codes are conventional in music magazines because they attract the audience for sexual as they tell the price of the magazines. Some reasons. Most of the females models have sexual magazines use the q codes for smartphones as poses. It is conventional for the models to be they are becoming more popular. looking at the audience .
  • 3. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? All the magazine that I researched had the stand first in capitals. This meant that it is conventional to have the stand first in capitals, as the name of the magazine The eyebrows are not conventional stands out Magazines such as Q and Vibe all magazines how ever I included an had the stand first with a left align. This eyebrow in my magazine. Included it influenced me to have mine with a left align because it draws attention to the as it was conventional. Most popular ship- audience having looked at other hop magazines shows the main image on magazines. top of the stand first however my influence of the stand first was Q magazine. As the main image not covering the stand first as Cover lines are a conventional when shown in THE SOURCE magazine. producing a music magazine this is because they enable the audience to know what is in the magazine. However it is not conventional for cover lines to be placed a certain way on magazines. For example on The Source magazine there's cover lines on the left and right of the magazine. This is not conventional of every Hip-Hip magazine. DA VIBE main cover lines are on the left of the magazine. The main image is conventional for all I included a barcode for music magazines. However after doing smartphones because smart research the models pose is adapted in phones such as Blackberry's are every magazine so that it matches the Barcodes are conventional for every more popular with my target genre. I used the bling so that it music magazine because they tell the audience which is 16-25. This matches the Hip-Hop genre. The price of every magazine. The way it is means that more of my target Source’s and Da Vibe magazines pose placed on every magazine is different audience can get more out of the also represents the hip-Hop culture as I for example DA VIDE is vertical but still online website. used the same body language. on the bottom of the page. THE SOURCE is on the left but DA VIBE is on the right .
  • 4. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Stand first Stand first’s are conventional to music magazines because they Type Face allow the audience to know that it is the contents page. It is conventional for the Most magazines show the contents page to use stand first to be bold and in similar type face as the capitals which draws more magazine cover. This make attention to it. it consistent through out the magazine. It also makes the magazine look simple. The main image House style It is conventional for the main image of the It is conventional for magazine magazine to be looking directly at the contents to show a definite house audience. However putting one picture is style. This enables the magazine to be not conventional . Magazines such as Q showing consistent colours through and Kerrung! Rarely use one image. out the magazine. However many Hip Hop magazine such as Vibe and The Source use one image
  • 5. I have included pictures of music magazines to show their conventions and where I got the inspiration for my magazine contents The house style of the magazine is clearly shown. The stand first stands out in the It is conventional for magazines to have a house VIBE’s contents. The Image is in style. Many magazines that I research have a front on the stand first like the house style. Q magazine and Vibe magazine have front cover. However on my a definite house style with is shown through out contents page the main image is the contents page. not covering the stand first. I got this idea from the Q Magazine contents. My stand first design for my magazine is influenced by VIBE Magazine’s contents because I wanted to have a stand first that would appeal to my audience. It’s conventional to have page numbers on the magazine contents. This makes it easier for the reader to find the pages. It also helps save time if Vibe magazine use one main image for a reader saw the cover story their magazine contents. I two used on the cover. models in my contents however this is not conventional of every magazine. The main image for VIBE magazine matches the house style as it is made grey like the page. I got my inspiration to keep the image its original colour from Q and other magazines as I preferred it. It is conventional to have the models face the audience. However my first model is not looking at the audience how ever he is pointing at the features. This draws more attention at the features instead of the images.

A standfirst is conventional so that the A pull quote is convectional audience know what in most double page artist is being interviewed spreads a pull quote was or the article is about.

The images more double page spread appealing. resembles colours to the cover , this shows how' I have continued the house style. I justified my text so that it looks more appealing to the audience. I thought this was conventional as in most I included a main image in my double page spreads the text was double page spread as it is aligned this way. conventional for a double page spread to have an image. My model is holding their fists. I made the model pose in this way to show the power they have which suggests that they are going to be come a I used a pull quote on the image so superstar. This image is that it can draw my readers appealing to both males and attention. I put it on the image not in females as most males aspire the text because the image is what to have muscles and females the audience will see when they turn can find it appealing as the the page to the double page spread. model is facing the audience.
  • 8. How does your media product represent particular social groups? My magazine “MUS!Q” challenges the stereotypical teenager and young adults. Teenagers are shown to be careless, violent and associated with underage drinking and drugs. However my magazine MUSIQ doesn’t portray that image of teenagers as it as it shows young people with aspirations. The stereo typical teenager My magazine shows and young adult is teenagers to be portrayed as being a thug aspiring. My model is or violent. Their shown the wearing fashionable be wearing hoodies and trends and it shows tracksuits. Teenagers are him smiling. This shown to be out of control takes out the negative as this image shows a connotations teenager out at night. This associated with is the stereotype for all teenagers as not all teenagers. teenagers are like the “stereotypical teenager”
  • 9. How does your media product represent particular social groups? The first picture shows the connotations surrounding teenage girls, however my magazine challenges the connotations by presenting the female model to look decent and powerful. This also shows that my magazine is not aimed at “chavs”. It also makes female readers want to aspire to be like the female model.
  • 10. How does your media product represent particular social groups? Representation Social Economic Class Materialists – my audience are materialists as they do not pay for anything, most of my target audience live with their parents so they want the latest fashion and music trends. This shows how they have a live now pay later attitude and live in the present Hedonists – this is because they are ”living life to the fullest” they also are not that serious because they go out a lot with friends. Post Modernist – to be ,to have ,to play . This My magazine shows the representation on a non- allows them to enjoy their youth before they violent teenager as my model. The model is not have to get jobs and start being independent. shown to be the “stereotypical” unlike Hip Hop magazine The Source's cover of The Game shows a I represented the target audience which is 16- lot of violence. This is shown as the model is holding 25 as they are materialists. This meant that I a gun. This magazine is associating Hip Hop with could get high fashion or gadgets to advertise violence. However my model is shown to be into in my magazine . For example I included an high fashion like teenagers as well as representing advert of VANS in my magazine this means that Hip-Hop with the bling on his neck I can relate to the audience as most of them wear vans.
  • 11. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? Bauer Media Group is a very success full media group they have different forms of media such as , magazines, radio stations and television channels. They have 99 iconic brands Bauer Media Group would publish my magazine because they have a gap in the market. All of their music magazines are made for males. The don’t have any Hip- Hop magazines aimed at young adults and teenagers. For example their magazine Q’s median age is 27. By targeting a much younger audience they can get a bigger profit as the price of my magazine is a low price this would mean that more young people can afford to purchase the magazine.
  • 12. Who would be the audience for your media product? My Media product is aimed around the age of 16-25. I feel that the connotations around my media product are suited to people in the age group. The fonts that I used and the images would stereotypically attract people in this category. I used this age group because most of the magazines are aimed at a much older generation. My magazine features interest of the younger generations by including adverts one Beats By Dre as their becoming popular in the younger generations. My audience definition is that  They watch music channels  Own the latest trends and trainers  Listen to new and upcoming artist on YouTube  Be interested in Hip-Hop and urban music . They must recognise the artists on the front cover.
  • 13. How did you attract/address your audience? The connotations of my magazine means that its aimed at Radical aspirers. The audience think that they are individuals and they have individual taste. They also want to achieve more , I used the front cover with the bling to show a richer side of hip- hop so that the audience can aspire to that. My target audience would be on the D to E on the Jicnar Scale . D to E means the audience is semi or unskilled workers and unemployed people. Also people in low income jobs. This is because their in full time education of in low income jobs.
  • 14. How did you attract/address your audience? I used language that would appeal to my audience. I used this to attract my audience as the language relates to them. I included the barcode because smartphones are popular within teenagers. This makes it easier to access the website on their phones. I used eyebrows to appeal to my I used my house style so it’s not audience as they reviewed more artists associated with stereotypical that are in the magazine. This is more male and female colours. This appealing to the audience as they can represents the music magazine identify their favourite artists and is unisex. purchase the magazine. I used a drop shadow behind the image this creates an effect as it looks more professional therefore it can attract both genders to my magazine.
  • 15. Audience responses Walay , 20 This magazine is great. I feel it really speaks out to it’s target audience and appeals to those who like the genre of music that is displayed in it. However, I do feel it is overpriced and teenagers might not be willing to spent that much money on a magazine. If this magazine was real I would I love the way you have indeed buy it! It has great artists, contrasted everything together the layout brings out this but I would by your magazine importance of the magazine and because it’s not very female the front cover is eye-catching. Also, orientated and it’s not the type of the people “featured” in the music I like, it’s a good magazine magazine are to my taste. I do think though! that think I’d be willing to pay the £2.99 for a monthly subscription.
  • 16. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? I have gained some InDesign skills from the first time I used InDesign for my preliminary exercise. I have used InDesign when be siding what type face to use for my stand first also when making my double page spread. I have found InDesign very useful and it was easily accessible, this made it easier for me to do a don’t of my work on it. I took some getting used to then it became simple to use. I have gained some Photoshop skills . This allowed me to edit pictures, cut the picture out of the background. I found photo shop very helpful in making my magazine as I was able to make the magazine how I wanted to make it . I found photo shop very difficult to use however after a couple weeks of using it I became familiar with the software which gave me great result which my magazine cover. I used a Nikon camera to take my pictures. This mean I could use top quality images in my magazine. I also took the pictures portrait. So that I can get more out of the image. It was very accessible to use and I found that the camera produced good pictures.
  • 17. I have learnt how to construct my interviews well, and it was easily accessible as I had this software at home, therefore making it easier for me to work from many places.
