6. What have your learnt about technologies from the process of construting this product?

Through the process of constructing our front cover I have learnt quite a lot and also expanded on things that I had only done a couple times. Through the process we used Adobe Photoshop for the assembling our product. I was not confident on the programme but using it a significant amount, I learnt much more. I learnt to use layers and change of fonts; I also got familiar with editing photos and creating effects.

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

We have attracted our audience by our bright colours and promising sale lines. The striking display of our front cover will make students want to pick it up and read inside. We also used titles from movies as our sale lines, in this special movie issue, to relate to their issues as well as popular movies of the age group. For what it is the magazine is also reasonably cheap, so that even students with not much money can afford it. We also our going to advertise the movie and make it conscious to the students in Camden sixth form.

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience is also the social group, the sixth form students at Camden School for Girls. Our audience is of 16-18 year old students in our sixth form only. The way that we can represent the social group of that age and location of the students. I asked the students around my sixth form, what they would want in their own school magazine casually, and most said they would like it to be personal, written by a student for a student. The information given within my magazine is for the students only, advice on sex, drugs, school and life as a teenager. And I know that at least one of these relates to students at Camden.

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

As it is directed at Camden School for Girls sixth form, it can be distributed at the school. So that all students have a choice to read it or not, to buy it or not. This institution can put the magazine on display in a certain place that is a common space, so that as people pass they will be drawn in by it. The magazine can also be advertised and made aware by teachers and other students. Yes, it is a free magazine and production costs are low. The Media Department will fund paper, colour printing and use of Photoshop and labour is free!

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

As a teen magazine directed at sixth form students only, our magazine represents this well. The front cover image displays a group of Camden sixth formers at lunch. This as well as the colourful and big display of title and sale lines makes it attractive to this age group and the type of display that they would like to see. This will encourage boys and girls aged 16-18 to buy this magazine. We represent the youth through the bright colours and bold font of they're imagination and relate to them through the photo. The magazine is to attract the sixth form at Camden and give them something fun to read that is made and read only by them, this gives it a more personal approach to a magazine which means more students will want to read it.

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

Our media product we use many typical forms and conventions that are used in the real media product. We have a bold colourful title that is at the top of the page. Our sale lines and other aspects of the magazine relate to real media product and the target audience. Our image is interesting fish eye lens of sixth form students from Camden School for Girls at lunch, this is attractive and relevant. We also have a barcode which is on the usual magazines in the real media product. We use three colours so that the magazine is not too cramped and over the top. Our photo which takes up the whole A4 sized cover is bright which would make our cover stand out on newspaper stands.
