Evaluation - Q1 Brief Analysis

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

I have created a house style throughout my products by continuously using the same colour scheme of purple, white and blue and using the same font style throughout (Bleeding Cowboys). I have also made sure the page numbers on the DPS match up to the contents page correctly, and used the same model to pose for pictures as the main featured artist on the front cover and the DPS.

I have followed most conventions when making my products, with the placement of writing on the pages the same as most music magazines and a consistent colour scheme used. The only convention I really challenged was the pose of my model on my DPS, most music magazines conventionally have the artist looking towards to the audience to try and engage them and make the magazine more sellable, however I opted to have my artist looking away from the camera as it reflected her emotions mentioned within the interview on the DPS.

Audience Feedback

I handed out my final products to two friends and asked them to give audience feedback to a set of questions about the magazine.

Audience Feedback 1

1. Would you buy this music magazine?
     No, but I dont buy music magazines anyway.
2.  Do you think this is reasonably priced for a bi-weekly magazine? (Priced at £2.50)
     Yes as it is cheaper than most other music magazines that come out weekly, and you get free posters in         the first issue which seems like a good deal
3. Do you think the front cover is eye catching?
    Yes, I particularly like the style of the font and I think the colours are very attention grabbing.
4. What is your favourite feature about the front cover?
    The font and the colour scheme are attractive and fit the style of this magazine well.
5. Do you find the contents page to have a simple, easy to understand/use layout?
    Yes, there are clear headings and its arranged sensibly into clear categories.
6. Do you think the DPS is eye catching?
    Yes, there is a large striking photo and I think the qoute gets your attention and makes you want to read the article.
7.Do you think the article is interesting/ enjoyable to read?
   Maybe if I liked Twilight I would, but its just not very appealing to me personally.
8. Do you like the colour scheme and do you think it is consistent throughout the magazine?
    Yeah, I think its quite eye catching and I can clearly see the purple, white and blues throughout.
9.What do you like best about the magazine?
   The font because it makes the magazine stand out from others.
10.What do you dislike the most about the magazine?
    The white backgrounds on the cover and contents page look a bit bland and empty.
