Dear Moderator,
My brief for my AS media was to create a new music magazine. The genre that I decided to do is pop music with my target audience being teenage girls from the age of 12-16 years old. Please use the labels in order to navigate.
Your sincere,

Final Evaluation Question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media product?
The real RMA on the left has a bold title in a big pink circle that is on the left side of the front cover. For the main title different fonts were used which gives an interestest and something funky to it. The main image is a full body and is portrait which is placed on the whole front cover. This magazine has a a lot of images and not as much writting which immediately shows that this RMA represetns teens. These images are quite big and taking a lot of space. The main title and cover line adds a lot of colour ans interest to the magazine and due to the colours that they used plus the font size, it gives the audience an idea what is the main feature. There are only 3 cover lines and they are spread everyhing on the front cover.They have a list at the bottom of extra things and the bar code quite large on the front cover, the issue and price are feaured on this area.The important feaures are written in yellow and the others are written in pink. The front cover of this RMA is not so busy which gives a clear indication to the reader.
My front cover on the right, like the RMA has a bold title that is on the left side of the front cover excepte that I used a sort of start as the background in order to give something funky to the main title instead of using different fonts because I thought that this would be con,fusing for the audience. However for the `O` of POP I tried to do it like the real media artifact. My main image is portrait and was placed at the centre of the page as well in order to guide the audience attention to the main feature. My main cover line unlike the RMA is written accross under the main image. I placed my bar code on the right and like the real media artifcat I used a background for it except that I used yellow. My colour scheme is a bit similar from the front cover on the left however they used more yellow and I used more purple/pink in order to represent Pop.
The RMA on the left side has the title going across the top of the content page. The main story images is bigger however, they did not use the same band from the front cover which could be a bit confusing for the reader. The other images takes the rest of the space and are smaller compare to the main image to still keep the reader focuses on the bigger features. The page numbers on the images are bigger which give the audience an idea of what the main features are. The other page numbers are smaller, they also used different colours for each categories. There is also a lot of advertisement on the environment which could be educational for the reader as the target is teens. On the real media artefact content page, they did carry on with the colour scheme however they did add more colours to it.
My contents page which is on the right, has the title going across on the top of the content page which is similar to the RMA, this was the most efficient way to give the reader an idea that this is the content page. There is not as many images as the real media artefact however, my main image story is the biggest and the other features images are smaller, unlike the real media artefact I used the same main image to give better guidance to the reader. Like the RMA my page numbers for the main features are bigger than the normal page numbers. Instead of using different colours for the page numbers I changed the background to show the different categories. My colour scheme is similar to the real RMA however I did not replace any of my colours unlike the RMA which did.

Final Evaluation Question 4&5
How did you attract/address your audience?
The important points from the video. Both positive and negative:
Esme Asare
Esme Asare is 12 years old. I asked her questions about my music magazine and she gave me both positive and negative points:
* One of the good and important points that Esme gave me is that she said that my magazine looked like a music magazine which is good as this was the whole point of the task. She also said that everything was easy to see and find which is important on a magazine.
* However she said that I could have maybe added music notes in order to make the genre a bit clearer.
Angela Asare
* Angela Asare sated that my music magazine is very eye catching which is an important selling point.
* But she said that on the DPS there is too much writing and that I should added more pictures. This could be a big disadvantage as my target audience is from 12-16 years old.
Anotida Mugari
* The negative points from Anotida was that the colours were clashing. The purple and yellow do not look good together and this might affect the audience into buying the magazine.
* However she said that it looked good and it would have looked better maybe with less yellow.
