Evaluation 4 - Who would be the audience for your media product?
My main target Audience is for predominately Males roughly from the ages of 16 - late 20's but also the use of my band the Back Door Alley which features a female lead singer means this isn't exclusive to men.Within my media product i have used a variety of artists like the Arctic Monkeys, Kings Of Leon, Jay Z and all sorts of genres like Rap, R&B, POP but mainly Indie. Also i have special interviews with Alex Turner the lead singer in the Arctic Monkeys. These sort of groups would attract my audience.
I would say my magazine has a big indie feel and look to it, this is shown by the clothing i have my models wearing on my main image on the front cover of my media product and the sort of artists i have within my magazine.
I have a couple of audience profiles to show the type of people that would be in my target audience.

Evaluation 3 - What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
IPC publishes a very popular magazine called NME. NME is the longest published and most respected music weekly in the world. Every week is gives its readers the most exciting and authoritative coverage of the very best in new music, including award winning features and also the latest releases as well as a regular look back through the magazines incredible 60 year heritage. So when i come to distributing my product i wont chose IPC as my magazine is very similar to NME.
For my Media Music Magazine i will be looking closely at IPC and Bauer Media as its important because i don't want to be competing with another magazine similar to mine that has already got a large audience, as mine will be a new magazine to the market.
The first institution ill be looking at is IPC Media which is the UK's leading consumer magazine and digital publisher, which has more than 60 iconic media brands. IPC creates content for multiple platforms from Print, online, Mobile, tablets and events. IPC Engages with 26 million UK adults, almost two thirds of UK women and over 40% of UK men and there award winning portfolio of websites reaches over 25 million global users every month.

The second institution ill be looking at is Bauer Media which are Europe's largest privately owned publishing group. The group is a worldwide media empire offering over 300 magazines in 15 countries, as well as online, TV and radio stations. Bauer Media is a multi-platform UK based media group consisting of many companies collected around two main divisions which are Magazines and Radio.
I think i would chose Bauer media when distributing my product as they don't have a product like mine so there wont be any competition however there will be competition with IPC Media with NME but if i worked closely with Bauer they could ensure it wouldn't happen as they have experience as they have distributed a magazine which is the top selling in the world.
Evaluation 2 How does the media product represent a particular social group?
Evaluation 2
How does the media product represent a particular social group?
My media product represents both males and females as shown on the front cover of my music magazine, with there being both male and a femal modeling on the cover. Also i think that my magazine would represent similar social groups to NME.
The age range that i am representing through my magazine is around 18 - late 20s, even though my models are 16 they look very mature and older than they actually are, and the characters they are playing are much older so they have also had to dress more mature.
My media product is stereotypically is aimed towards an audience of middle class which would fall under income bracket B because my music magazine is £2.99 so it would fall into that particular social group.

Evaluation 1 - In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
When creating my Media product, i have made sure that i have include as many conventions as possible from a real music magazine. Conventions of a music magazine are, masthead, cover lines, barcode, date main image. Throughout my product i have tried to stick to my style model which has been NME. I have tried to stick to the conventions NME use but also add my own personal twists and feel to the product.
