In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
After analysing several student magazines, such as Ludlow College's "Student ID" magazine and "First Car". I used some features that they used for example I have tilted some of my photos to make them appear more exciting and attention-grabbing.
I think my front cover was quite different as I used the title from The Sunday Time and swapped the ‘unday’ from The Sunday Times and replaced that with ‘tudent’ and added that in graffiti like font making it seem the students have taken The Sunday Times for there own.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
First of all I had to decide on my target age group I went for teens between the ages of 16 and 18 years old. I then tried to engage the age demographic with suitable topics, text and images. For instance, I used photos from college parties knowing students would be more likely to buy the magazine if there was a possibility to see themselves or close friends. I keep the colour scheme very basic using mostly whites and blacks to try and not attracted one sex more than the other.

Who would be the audience for your media product?
The audience for my student magazine will be second year college students to third year university students, aging between 17-20, and it will be a uni-sex magazine.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
My magazine has quite a wide audience, who all need music, parties, art but more seriously advice about carries the future and relationships. I think no nonsense straight forward institution would like to distribute my magazine.

How did you attract/address your audience?
I would like to think my magazine was aimed at the more artistic and musical, the students who take an interest in these types of things outside of college/university when there not forced to. so the way in which I attracted the readers was by using interesting and clever magazine title, all the images I used where taken not just a random parties but student music gigs I thought they would seem more interesting for the readers.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Because I study photography I already had quite a good knowledge about layout ect. If anything I feel the computer programmes we were using where holding me back.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
I have learnt that research is a very important in designing and creating of a magazine.
