Evaluation- Q3

Q2. How does your media product represent particular social groups

My pop magazine is aimed mostly at teenagers and I feel like this is shown through the use of my bright colour scheme which are used throughout my media product.

I have since changed my colour scheme from this:





To the addition of yellow because I wanted to attract a fun and lively audience which is shown in my double page spread:

Furthermore the use of the image on the left on my double page spread attracts a teenage audience as the models are teenagers. The image almost portrays a romantic fantasy theme which all teenagers stereotyping are interested in. 

Furthermore, I have used a mixed raced and black model, which would attract different ethnic groups as more people will feel as though they can relate to my magazine.

Q1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

1. My Pop Magazine has subverted the conventions in many ways for example the model I have used is mixed raced, which you would not typically see on the front cover of a pop magazine. Therefore, to make my front cover more stereotypical, I have used a dodge tool to lighten her skin colour so she may resemble the stereotype.

 BEFORE: As you can see Annelie's skin was slightly darker before I had photoshopped her.

AFTER:

2. My front cover follows conventions as I have used a masthead. Additionally, due to the fact that it is a pop magazine, I have made sure that the colour of my masthead (pink) and the font (Billo) correlates with the genre of my magazine.

3. My contents page has followed conventions as I have added an editors photo and an editors letter. Furthermore I have followed a similar layout to that of a pop contents page would. I know this as I have looked at a variety of pop magazines such as limelight, we <3 pop and bliss and seen how they have laid out. I believe that the language I have used is relevant for example the use of '!' as it follows conventions and would not be unusual to see in a pop magazine.

4. Saying this however, I believe that this sky blue background would not typically be seen in a pop magazine. Although it is a bright colour I think that perhaps a real pop magazine would have a lighter more pasty colour, perhaps a baby pink. I did not do a pink colour as it did not think it would be suitable as the page would look very overwhelming with different shades of pink everywhere drowning out the writing currently in pink and the models (nellie) jumper.
