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


•The key ingredients of a student magazine include a vast amount of enticing graphics and photos to grab there attention. Topics have to be balanced between educational facts and interesting articles that involve their age group otherwise interest will be lost by the first page.
•A contents page should be kept short and simple and not involve too much information so it allows the reader to develop an interest and read on. If the headlines and captions grab their eye then they’ll be more likely to buy your magazine again. I believe that my own magazine appeals to a variety of students and stands out above the rest. Bright cover lines and features make it great for students to read





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


•“New Mag On The Block” is a student magazine, aimed at those between the ages of 15 and 18. It is easier to represent this age group due to the stereotypical concepts they conform to. I have tried to break away from the typical titles that are associated with this age group but it has proven more difficult than I originally thought. When research was completed, the teens of Ludlow showed that they enjoyed, drinking, going out, gossip, fashion and were interested in job-hunting. The wants of the consumer has to be taken into consideration for it is the main reason of producing a student magazine that will sell well so my magazine includes the above categories and many more that’ll entice students throughout the college.
