Evaluation - question 5 'how did you attract / address your audience?'

Evaluation - question 4 'who would be the audience for your media product?'

To answer this question i asked a fellow media student to answer the question exactly how they see my magazine, to see if my intedend audience was actually reckognised by other people.

Evaluation - question 3 'what kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?'


One of the inspirations I got for creating my magazine came from Top of The Pops magazine. The BBC help with the distribution of that magazine. Therefore I think they would be interested in distributing my magazine as it has a similar target audience than Top of The Pops. So they would know that it will sell because of the success of Top of The Pops magazine.



News agents with magazine rails as the one above i feel would also distribute my magazine as most of the magazines in the image have slight similarities to my magazine such as sugar or top of the pops. Also childrens magazines are also sold in with these magazines again tying in with the genre and age group of my magazine.

Evaluation - question 2 'how does your media product represent pasticular social groups?'

The particular social group my magazine is aimed at is young girls aged roughly 16 and younger. It represents them as all the colours of my magazine are girly and bright, which would not appeal to the specific social group of a rock magazine. the songs and artists represented and featured in my magazine are always smiling and happy, also the songs associated with my genre pop are happy and are about love therefore what you would accept being in a pop magazine and not in a rock one.
