Presentation of the 7 questions

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

           My magazine Starting 11 is very reflective to other well known magazines. I could improve it by (page 2) splitting the page into 3 columns as that's how it is when in a professional magazine. you don't always want to challenge conventions as there conventions are the popular ones.

How does your Media product represent particular social groups?

It meets lots of different peoples needs as it covers lots of different leagues and is suitable to anybody that has an interest in football. So the amount of people it reaches is very vast.

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

A company that would like to buy my products to sell them is BT sport as they have not got a magazine at this present time. They would like a magazine to sell and increase some profit. This company also has a very large growth potential which will help the sales for my magazine.

Who would be the audience for your Media product?

The audience of people who will want to buy my product is people who are interested In football, we cover lots of leagues even non- league football. So it covers many thousands of people which increases the amount of sales we get.

How did you attract/address your audience?

It will be advertised on BT sport as this company will be selling my product and they are a very big company which is still growing a lot., and has lots of growth potential.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product?

I have learned how to use a professional programme called InDesign to create a professional magazine. I also learned how to use the Photoshop to edit my photos so that the quality of my photos are up to a professional standard.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Looking back at my first draft I feel I have learnt how to use the programme InDesign. I've learned many key words stretching from Pugs to Skylines. The rule of a successful business is to make the cover appealing to the audience from first sight so it draws attention to them.

Magazine contents page analsis - 2

Magazine Contents page analysis
I had to analysis two contents pages to find out what the codes and conventions are so when I make my contents page I know what it is I need to do. If I want to get the highest grade possible I need to stick to the codes and conventions of professional magazines. I can challenge the conventions but its hard to change a professional magazine style layout.

This is my contents page and I used the help of the magazine to find out the codes and conventions so I could stick to them when I done my contents page. The image below is off the magazine that I used to help me. It helped a lot as it gave me a chance to review a professional contents page to take ideas from it and use it in my personal magazine
