Concluding to my evaluation I think that this piece of coursework was not that difficult because I already had the skills from the previous coursework when creating my school magazine on Photoshop and I got used to the tools and I was able to make my music magazine a good professional magazine using all my skills and hard work to create one like I did for the previous one.
1)
My media product uses, develops and challenges the conventions of a real media product by using the same skills needed to make the magazine and like any other music magazine every one of them use conventions such as mastheads, images, additional key images, addition text and logo etc. This is that same way like creating my media product by using conventions by making the product come to life and interest the reader by using interesting images, colours and different fonts to make it even better.

2) My media product presents different social groups by just targeting at one type of social group and depends on what the music magazine genre is and which gender is it mostly targeted at. My music magazine is mostly targeted at females, because when I had done the questionnaire and making the results most females had answered the questionnaire and if you look at the music magazine you could tell form the colours and they style of font and the images that have been put on the music magazine.
3) The type of media institution that might distribute my media product is Bauer media; the reason why I think that this media institution would distribute my media product is because they have distributed other famous magazines such as "Q", "Empire" and "Heat” so hopefully they will be able to distribute my magazine.
4) The audience for my media product would be mostly females because looking at the questionnaire results the most gender in my results were females, because before creating the media product I had to do some research about my target audience and then the colours had to be planned what type of font, colours I would also use, so gathering all that information I had decided that my media product should be targeted at females.
4) I attracted my audience by engaging them and persuading them to look at the comments that would then catch their eye on my media product and to persuade them that this is a good media product and addressing them these comments have been able to persuade my audience to come and take a look at the magazine.
5) The thing that I have learnt about new technologies is by using different websites and how to use them because now day’s technology is expanding and whilst constructing the process of my media product I learnt out new technologies everyday such as sound cloud, slideshare, blogger and Photoshop etc.
6) With these new technologies I kept on developing my skills on Photoshop and blogger about how to design the blog how to design the product, what tools to use that helped me develop my skills from my previous coursework when creating the school magazine.
7) Furthermore, looking back at the preliminary task the thing that I felt that I have learnt is to use, develop my skills and coming up with new ideas like I had stated in the preliminary task that my music magazine that I am going to create will be my only important task and I think that it is not going to be that difficult because I already have the experience and skills on how to create a magazine and the thing that I have learnt from my music magazine is that I have gained confidence in creating one and being introduced to different software’s like Photoshop I have learnt an experience and new skills day by day.
