In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
I have followed the typical magazine conventions, I have stuck to the brief of the preliminary task, using a DTP to manipulate my picture and I have produced a front cover of a college magazine through this. I have not challenged any forms of real media products because I have stayed within standard magazine conventions.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
With the picture on the front of my magazine I have chosen to represent the student social group. I made a positive image with a smiling young male looking very positive about student life and appearing to enjoy college.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
I have made my magazine so I hope it appeals to everyone in the environment of the Isle of Man College. I have asked for input from anyone who reads my winter issue and the idea is that students, parents and lecturers can feel free to write into the magazine and let people know what they think about college and what they think can improve anything within college or the magazine.
How did you attract/address your audience?
I put a young attractive happy person on the front cover of the magazine, this person also happens to be a student. I made the cover bright and attractive to make sure that it catches peoples eye and I was selective about the person I put on the front cover because I wanted someone that people are going to know, and he is well known around college. I chose a bright red for the colour of my text so that it would stand out against the white background and the black clothes my model is wearing. I made the topics on the front cover try and fit a range of people; all of this together should be able to attract an audience.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
All of the software I have used to create this magazine is new to me and I am still learning certain parts of it. However I am confident is editing the pictures, this is one of the things I chose to work on really hard and I am now confident in the outcome of the editing with the software I have chosen.
