Conclusion (how good was your magazine success or fail)
P1
My media product is a pop magazine where the target audiences
is teenager girls age between 13 to 16 there is also a secondary target audiences
of my magazine which is parents the reason way they are a target audience is
because they are the people most likely to buy the magazine as its unlikely a
13 year old girl will have the money to pay for the magazine.
P2
P3
My magazine appeals
to a mass audiences it may be target to a select age range however compared to
other genres of magazines my magazine is targeted at a big audiences. My
product ass appeals to the mass audiences because of the genre of the magazine
is pop which is one of the biggest music genres which appeals to the masses and
no matter where you go you are most likely to hear pop music over another genre
such as classic which is a very much niche audiences because not many people lesion
to classic music.
P4
For my pop magazine I made a front cover page, a double page
spread and a contents page I used very bright colour on my magazine to follow conventions
of this genre because stereotypically teenage girls like bright fluffy colours
instead of the opposite which is very dark colours which are portrayed as bad when
pop magazines are seen as bubbly and fun. Also when making my magazine I looked
at the audiences demographics which told me people don’t want a expensive magazine
they want a value for money product however they also want quality of quantity and
I try to replicate this in my work by not blaging and instead getting straight
into the gossip.
P5
To make my product into a product I first of all created a
barcode because no product sold these days comes without a barcode so to make
it a product I had to include it on my magazine. Alongside the barcode I put on
the front cover I also put the price on it the reason I choice the price I did
was because when doing market research this was the most commune price range
for a magazine of this price range. This links on to the reason why people
would buy my magazine and the reason way people would buy my magazine is
because it gratifies there need because it tells the reader all the gossip on
the celebrates and pop music this also link into the youth and gratification theory
which says about how we have four many reason for reading /buying a media
product one is as I just stated to gratifies a need. Another reason is because
of identity and for this reason people want to read my magazine to find out the hot
winter style so they can replicate this in there clothing. They also use my
magazine for finding out about the this other world celebrates a said to live
and the final reason people finish to read my magazine is for simple enjoyment
and entertainment.
P6
Although my product is not perfect and can fail in the form
of audiences as have go against some forms of conventions for example when
looking at pop magazines they use pink and other very much stereotyped colours
and there main colour in there colour scheme however in my magazine I made more
male relate colours the main colour as I used very dominate colours like blue
however I did also use very girl colours as a secondary colour to enforces the
fact that this is a girls magazine.
P7
In terms of success or fail I do think my magazine was I
success as I tried to break the division of a male and female colour scheme and
also the layout of my magazine is a big selling point because my magazine cover
includes a lot however it is well structured and easy to read there may be some
problems with my magazine however I do believe my magazine doe attract my
target audiences.
