Evaluation

My magazine design follows the conventions of real media products, you can see this as i have placed everything in the places they usually are on real magazines for example, the barcode, date and price are in the bottom right corner and the name and logo of the magazine in the top left corner.

My magazine represents informal social groups as i've used slang words such as pics instead of pictures. it's representative of normal sixth form students. A media institution like first news might distribute this type of magazine as they make fictional magazines and dont make things up which my magazine doesnt do either, also because its about real people and not celebrities would make them distribute it. The audience for my product would be kids from the age of 11-18 and parents of those children as the kids would be intrested in whats happening in their school as would the parents.

I addressed my audience informally to make it more comfortable to read and i think that they would prefer to be informally spoken to. I learnt the conventions of this type of media and what works and what doesnt for a magazine. I also found that everything needs a reason to be on the front cover of a magazine nothing can be random.
