Conclusion:
This showed me that there are many technologies that people can use to help them create productions and we can use them to make things simpler.

Evaluation - How did you attract/address your audience?

I attracted my audiences though various different ways, they are as following:

Colour - I used a minimal of 3 bright colours, to create a theme, like other media products which use specific colours to give it an identity. Colour scheme I used for my magazine is black, white and blue, they are subtle and warm colours, not over the top. I decided to use the traditional direct mode of address as my targeted audiences are young they need a image that is directly addressed at them. This makes it more eye-catching.

Language - Its slightly formal but yet not too mature as my audiences are mainly young, therefore the language needs to be quite simple so they can relate and understand it.

Picture - The image of male model will attract female audiences alongside the image inside the contents page and main article, also it can attract male audiences as well who idolise the specific artists. Vise versa, the same goes for the female feature on the contents page.

Content - The contents of my magazine is fresh new information based on popular artists and therefore this is bound to address my target audience, it includes interviews and images of mainstream artists.

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

I researched magazines of the same and different genres to become familiar with their presentational deceives so I could compare my magazine with them. I have concluded that my music magazine Neon confirms the conventions of real music magazines. I would say my magazine is extremely similar to VIBE, this is due to the following reasons:

COMPARISON

Similarites:
1) Both magazines use a male model, which could suggest that most audiences are males, who see them as role models and look up to them.
2) Both magazines use a similar masthead, quite simple yet large and bold to attract readers attention immediately.
3) Both magazines use a male black model, which is typical for a R&B music magazine.
4) Also props used in both magazines are very similar, both models are wearings chains and belts which are quite blingy.
5) Both magazines use 3 main colours.

However, it also has some differences such as:
Differences:
1) The colour scheme of the two magazines is completely different. Neon uses the colours black, white and blue, whereas VIBE uses pink, black and yellow.
2) The pose/posture of the model on magazine Neon is different to the pose of the model on magazine VIBE.
3) Also the layout of the two magazines is very different.

My photograph confirms the conventions of real R&B music magazines as some of the conventions associated with that genre such as chains, blingy jewlerry and era hats, are used by my model. Similar to VIBE my models image takes up most of the space on the front cover and this is a convention of most magazines in general. Moreover, I have used a simple and similar background to VIBE. The inclusion of a cover line is also conventional of most magazines, therefore making the cover lines big is extremely important, so when a person sees the magazine the first thing they see/read is cover line. The cover line also demonstrates the artists thats going to be in the magazine, automatically attracting the reader. That is what I have tried to do with my music magazine. I have also tried to imitate the traditional sterotype involved with R&B magazine, that is the pose/posture of my model, similar to VIBE my magazine has a male model striking a rough yet tuff pose. The chains and blingy belt worn by my model is also conventional to the R&B genre. Moreover, the masthead is very simple but yet stands out, colour is very important to attracting the audience to get the sales, and I want my magazine to stand out from the rest.
Also the conventional technique of using a minimal of 3 colours is used widely in magazines. Therefore I have decided to use that on my own music magazine as it keeps it sophisticated and less complicated. Having a lot of different colours makes the magazine seem childish.

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

For my magazine I have chosen BAUER Media, however my magazine is of a different genre, I think BAUER Media would be interested in my magazine. They could use my magazine and specialise in the R&B genre. This is becasue they also use magazine Q to speicalise in the rock genre, therefore they might also want to try out a different genre, such as R&B.
However, at the moment there is no insitution that distributes/publishes R&B magazines. This could also be useful as R&B genre now has a wide range of audiences.
