Media Evaluation

The media product I have created uses such things as titles, barcodes and pictures but I haven’t used any fancy programmes to make good looking fonts to help me be similar with other magazines so it’s not entirely the same as the real media products.

My media product is a bit different with the background picture on the magazine and also the magazines web address in the top left corner, the left side of the magazine is organised like a girl would be but then the right should is just like a boy with messy unorganised titles and etc its like this to try and catch both genders eyes to there side of the magazine.

My media product represents    boys more and attracts the gamers and sporty types of social groups for girls it could do the same thing but it also attracts the type of social groups who like to hear gossip of latest celebrities so in total it at least attracts 3 types of social groups to my media product. 

My audience for my Media Product is aimed at 16 – 18 year old college/school students, because it is a college/school magazine also the audience would be gamers, people interested in football and people who are into gossip this magazine aims at both genders to try and attract more of a audience, you could maybe even say staff would like to read the magazine because it holds college information and events that will happen.

I attracted my audience by using big red font for titles to try and catch there eyes to the titles they may be interested in, also quick simple titles to read quickly and not get them bored I’ve done this because students wouldn’t read a lot of writing and easily get bored so quick effective titles to get the message across quick to the students. Also it’s the same on the content page as well nice and simply to point out the information of which page for the topic on the back and a good background photo to keep them interested.

I have learnt how to use Publisher more effectively when it comes to designing in Publisher I had no problems maybe the front cover background but I learnt I can send it to the back and then put all the writing and etc over it, I think I achieved a well designed magazine that is attractive to my type of audience, the technology helps me with creative writing to make it look more attractive on titles, from this preliminary task overall I have learnt how to create a magazine from scratch and that’s is by doing my own research to see what my target audience would like to see on a magazine to attract them, and also I think I have gained a bit more of a design skills
