Looking forward towards your main task, what do you feel you have learnt about the production process that help you as you approach the full product?
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have improved my skills in Photoshop and In Design, as i did my designs using In Design and edited my photos on Photoshop.
How did you attract/address your audience?
I attracted my audience by using bright colours, bright coloured font with a black edge to make it stand out more. Also i put a shadow on the title in the contents page. The logo also attracts my audience as it is different and also has a shadow.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
My target audience is people 16 years of age and above whom attend  the music college. Also people that are intrested in the contents of the magazine.
What kind of institution might distribute your media product and why?
The institution that would distribute the magazine would be the college as it is only for the people that attend that college.
This is also anwsered in my other question
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My magazine represents a musical social group as it is for a music college, my magazine gives off a good, hard working social group as the images are showing concentration yet looking fun. It is aimed at people aged 16 and above that attend the college.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

This is a comparison of my magazines front cover with an actual product. The actual product’s title is ‘College Lifestyle’ which indicates that is for people that attend any college, whereas my magazine is indented for just one college, called 'The One'. My large title stands out as it is big and has a logo in the 'O' and is black writing on a blue background which may attract the target audience, also my logo that I made is a way of letting people know that it is that college’s own magazine. The logo will get the audiences attention as it is a hand indicating the number one with 'The One!' written on it. Compared to my magazine the actual product more likely to attract an audience as it is full as they have used bigger font sizes and more colourful writing. Whereas on my front cover the image and writing is well placed, but on the actual magazine cover the writing is on the image instead of around it like mine.
