Introduction

Welcome to my media foundation portfolio. The main task for this project was to create a front cover, contents page and a double page spread for a music magazine. The order of my blog starts with the final product, product evaluation, audience feedback, planning, research and finally the preliminary task, which was to create a student magazine.

Final Product

Product Evalutation

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and   conventions of real media products?






2. Who would be the audience for your product?

3. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

4. How did you attract/address your audience?

5. What kind of media institution might distribute your magazine and why?

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing your product?

7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to your final product?

Audience Feedback

Audience Questions

What stands out from the front cover?

On a scale of 1-10 what do you like about my front cover?

Does the contents fit in with the house style of the front cover?

What do you think about my double page spread?

What is your favourite thing about my whole magazine?

Is there anything I can do to improve?

Double page changes

This is the the first draft of my double page spread. I was fairly satisfied with it, however after receiving some audience feedback for my product and acknowledge that i needed to make some changes. Most of my audience group said that the model in the article didn't fit with the style and genre of the magazine.

I agreed with their opinions, so i found another model to use in the article who I thought fits the style and genre of my magazine. Even though it took time and effort having another photo shoot and editing the article again I thought it was well worth while in the end and my magazine benefits from it.
