https://prezi.com/qrxr3tea7ylu/my-target/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy I have appealed to my target audience by pricing my magazine at £2.50, I believe that this is a suitable price for the age range of my target audience. This is due to them being teenagers and not have a stable income where they can afford to spend £4-5 on a magazine. Secondly, by including artists names in the cover features that relate to my target audiences preferences. An example of this would be give a ways,on the front cover I have included the opportunity to win a Reading and Leeds ticket. In addition to this feature being a give away I have created it taking in consideration of my target audiences music taste. By offering this festival the typical genre of music played is similar to the audiences favourite artists, making the magazine appeal to them more so than another music magazine.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? There are many elements to my product that convey generic conventions of existing music magazines, in order to make my product authentic i researched current magazines such as ‘Q Magazine’ and many others to pick out reoccurring features.  Firstly i believe that my product fits the conventions of music magazine and i have achieved a realistic product, one of the ways i have done this is by including consistent branding throughout.

In addition to using the mast head to brand my product i have also used a colour scheme to create another visual link between the three separate pages, this is very conventional of magazines to choose three colours and present these ...
