1. Evaluation
Question 4

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

3. o target young adults of both genders aged between 14 and 1

4. I am sticking with this initial idea as I feel my
magazine fulfils the needs of this audience.

5. Front cover
I feel that my front cover is
focused on targeting my chosen
audience. This is because the
magazine appears slightly
informal and relaxed whilst my
chosen colour scheme not only
represents the genre; but also
makes the magazine more
appealing to teenagers as it is
more sophisticated than
magazines targeted for younger
ages. It is not uniform and doesn't
not use a boring colour scheme
such as white and black which is
more associated with magazines
for the older generation.
Moreover, I think that it will appeal
to both genders as the colour
scheme is gender neutral and the
coverlines are not girly gossip.

6. Contents Page
Again my contents page suits
my target audience. The layout
is informal and quirky which
makes it more eye catching and
makes the read want to see
more. The actual text is also
informal and contains humour
which is more appealing to
young adults. Furthermore my
colour scheme is gender colour
neutral and so will draw the
attention of both genders. The
images connote the rock genre
whilst some of the articles
promote the pop genre and
therefore it satisfies my chosen
genre.

7. Double Page SpreadMy double page spread appeals more to those who like the rock genre
rather than pop and this is purely because the band I interviewed were a
rock band. However, it still satisfies both genders as even though the dark
colours would appeal more to a male, the fact that the main image is of a
female singer will appeal to the females. The article is informal and has a
storyline format which makes it more suitable for young adults but also
