Why would my TA buy my magazine?


My target audience would buy my magazine because of familiar artist names from familiar genres such as "magnetic man" who are a dub step group. Another reason they would is because they would be attracted to the familiar clothing label sported by my model on the front as its an established streetwear brand often found to be worn by my target audience as well as being very in fashion at the moment. It would also appeal to them because the name is known to dj's because its in their lexis.

Evaluation activity 1 (part 1)

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of music magazines)

My magazine utilizes a semi standard layout taken by many magazines including ones like Q and NME, this is by having my masthead at the top and having it unobscured by things like pictures and bad color schemes. Ways in which i deviated from the norm in the layout of my magazine would probably be the positing of the barcode, sideways under the masthead, and the positioning of the issue number and price. I say this because its sideways on and actually embedded within the mast head. During my Research and planning i had a look at several magazines already on the market (Cover analysis) and attempted to try and make my magazine adhere to things that i saw that were relatively universal across most genres.
