For example:
The bar code is also, "typically" positioned at the bottom right hand corner, so I have moved it up to the center top half of the page.
Also, to keep the audience interested I have sectioned it off in a different style to over manufacturers.
My media product, portrays a overall message that is positive to the readership. It approaches the readers with a "new" approach. It appeals to the students personal identity as they will be the only people who can relate to this magazine. My magazine generally represents "unique" "arty" social groups, but also, appeals to the "trendy" people too. My magazine is good as it don't just appeal to one social group making the readership bigger.
My product would be distributed to other 6th forms and colleges. As this is a student magazine. "students" being the niche market. Were I have just associated my magazine with "student" though the images, fonts, colours, and layout this makes my magazine easier to distribute. It is clearly layed out to attract the "students" encouraging them to buy this magazine.
During the process of the magazine, I was able to improve my techniques in photoshop. I was also, able to learn about the representation, and story behind the images I use in my work. I was able then to, portray a happy and soulful image telling a clear story in my magazine. I was also, then able to look at the "typical" conventions of a magazine and alter them to attract a different readership to most magazine. Because in my research I found out that allot of the students don't generally read their college magazine.
I have overall learnt allot about representation, and how it is important what image you are portraying in you Media task. Other wise you could be aiming at the wrong readership. I also, learnt that it is very important to create flat plans before starting your project. Otherwise you can become confused and unorganised if you have not. I have also, learnt how to look at a magazine with a more critical eye, to find the conventions, and also, use an analytical eye with the layout and overall design.
