final products!

question 7: looking back at your preliminary task, what do you think you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

looking at my college magazine to my final music magazine front cover there are major differences and improvements. for example i had learnt how to use photo shop better, by using the polygon lasso tool instead of the magic wand tool. ect. from my research i have learnt the different conventions of music magazines. (plugs, bold short mastheads, etc) my preliminary task is a very boring front cover, this would not sell in a shop, where as my final product would because it looks like the real thing.

my final product has been taken under profession lightning, where as my preliminary task was taken in college, this shows that my preliminary task was rushed and not enough effort was put into it, where as my final product was planned where/when/what.

more feature stories were added to my final task to make it look more professional and to link in with the indie theme. i made sure they linked in with the indie theme by researching other indie magazines such as NME and Q magazine to influence my product.

question 6: what have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product ?

question 5:how did you attract/adress your audience?

question 4: who would be the audience for your media product?

my audience media pack.

what kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

 GREY is one of the top indie fashion and art magazines. Grey stays true to its name, with obscure photographs that give a slightly vintage, slightly grungy vibe while making it look cool. Along with covering fashion, they feature art and accept poetry and fiction submissions. Editor-in-Chief Valentina Ilardi Martin’s personal style translates into the ominously beautiful images. i think GREY would distribute my product because they have indie fashion, words,beauty and fragrance, art,  and travel. so they don't have an indie music magazine, so if they produce mine they wouldn't be distributing a rival. They are also global so many of my magazine would get sold. 

question one: in what ways does your media product spread use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
