How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My magazine represents a particular social group by specifying the genre of the magazine in the masthead and the slogan "Rhythm and blues Hip -hop " it also targets the social audience of females by having a female model on the front page and throughout the contents page and double page spread follows the theme of the colour pink a colour heavily associated with females .
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
i wouldchoose Harris because they are distributers of one of the most successful hip hop and rnb magazines this means a chance at success also a great opportunity to have direct contact with hip hop and rnb stars weather it be for interviews or photo shoots also high rated bloggers for the promotion side of the magazine.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
My magazine being a female edition would require the audience of die hard hip hop and RnB fans as the genre is very male dominated to enjoy the magazine you would have a knowledge of some of the females on the uprise in the hip hop and RnB scene although being a female edition doesn't restrict it to just female readers as men do take interest in females in this genre .
How did you attract/address your audience?
To attract the females i used pink all throughout and by making this issue a female edition and for the other fans of hip hop an RnB having well known names in the industry on the front over and by having an upcoming star on the front cover causes curiosity .
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
From previously using word and then onto use photoshop i found it was a lot quicker and easier ways to get things done .in photoshop it was about learning all the keyboard shortcuts to make putting together your project lot easier it was also about learning how to make your product come alive there is only so much you can do with word whereas in photoshop the possibilities are endless and it was all bout playing around to what best suited your magazine ideas
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
I've learnt that every detail is key especially as in Photoshop everything is very realistic so it made me very aware as to weather my product looked realistic or not .I have also found there are quicker ways to put elements together rather than a long winded way round which allows more time for fixing and smoothing
