EVALUATION- How did you attract/ address your audience?
After making Questionnaire's and interviewing people I decided to take the criticism and improve my magazine.
The feedback i received from what would appeal the the audience was based on colour scheme, photography and if the magazine looked professional. When receiving my feedback on my final product all these were successful. 
My audience is a wider based audience focusing mainly on females. I decided to attract them by having a female model but very natural therefore they could relate to them. I focused some research on Natalie Wood, an American film and television artist. Natalie Wood said an attactive girl attracts the audience to the magazine, I decided to follow this statement in my own work.
EVALUATION- Who would be the audience for your media product?



EVALUATION- What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
I think Bauer media would distribute my media product. Being involved in the majority of best magazines the main audience is male. I have chosen a different target audience and therefore I see a gap in the industry for my magazine. Also my magazine has different conventions to any other pop magazine as it follows a rock magazines structure. 
EVALUATION- How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My original photography was taken with a variety of people on a white screen dressed up to fit the genre of my magazine. The shots taken of the few people were a variety of shots from extreme close up to long full body image. I did this to see which images fitted better to the screen. I decided to use several models to see who and which photos fitted the screen better. Although the models were all girls I focused on positioning of the body for example; standing hands on hips to represent confidence and shots containing instruments to reflect the genre of the magazine.
What is being represented?
Within my magazine gender is greatly represented as she is a young female woman, however I do think social groups appears throughout my magazine.
How is it represented?
Gender is represented stereotypically throughout my magazine; I have chosen a young attractive female to appear on the front of my magazine, following typical conventions. On the front cover I used a close-up shot of the girls face; I edited the photo into black and white and chose the colours pink and green which follows typical conventions. The pose on the front cover is quite a serious but sexy, this would appeal to a female teenage audience however I also think it would appear to an older audience (20-30) as I think the image and editing makes her look older and sophisticated. I chose to have the same model on my contents page however a completely different outfit and style. When looking at the second image, ‘Perri Amelle’ looks younger and natural. She is avoiding looking at the camera making her looks like a girl of everyday life; this would allow the audience to relate to her. On the article I again decided to choose different clothing and a different pose. Even though Perri looks very confidant she is still in typical everyday clothes allowing the audience to relate to her.
How is the representation made to seem ‘true’, ‘common sense’ or ‘natural’?
I represented my model as a natural girl, she has little make-up on and is wearing everyday clothes, this allows the audience to interact with her and feel similar.
EVALUATION- In what way does your media product use develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
