Here's my FINAL contents page with new colours.

Here's my FINAL updated front cover with my new picture of my model.

This is my FINAL double page spread, i have changed the font so it is easier to see and also i have moved the pull quote to a more visible location.

The evaluation of how my product meets/challenges conventions.

I have compared my final product to my preliminary one and discused how I have met different conventions since the last one.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? I have laerned many techniques in photoshop doing my final product, here a few of the ones I have learned.

EVALUATION QUESTION: How did you attract/address your audience? I asked some students a questionnaire about my finished magazine to see if i had achieved my target audience and how i attracted them to my magazine, if i attracted them and once it did did it address the attraction in the way they expected.

Here also is a front cover evaluation on how it attracts my audience

Here is my secondary audience feedback video for the evaluation question "Who would be the audience for your media product?". I did this to see if my target audience was reached, i think i reached my audience quite well apart from the price being to high for my selected member of my aimed target audience.

This is my evaluation of my magazine in relation to the question: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? 

Here is my question 2 of my evaluation

Here is another draft to my double page spread, however the pull quote is not as visible as it should be.

Heres my first double page spread draft.

Here's my double page box plan of what i would like my double page spread to look like.

This is my contents page box plan of how i want it to look like.

Here's my front cover block outline for how i want my magazine to look.

This is my third contents page draft, I like the layout and I have decreased the size of articles to fit the conventions better, and I have also included the issue date and changed some of the colours to help it stand out.

This is my second contents page draft, I have included my featured artist in this one, but I don't like the new layout especially at the top third.

This is my first contents page draft, i like the colour scheme but the text stating the articles names is too large and the layout isn't as good as it can be.

This is my sixth and final front cover draft, I think the text all has a good balance, and the layout is good.

This is my fifth front cover draft, i like it overall apart from the artist name in the top left third.

 This is my fourth front cover draft, it has a bar-code and mentions the artist but I still don't like the articles on the left third and also i don't like the Christmas theme.

This is my first front cover draft, it does not have enough articles on the left and the ones you can see aren't clear enough also there is no bar-code or anything filling the right third of the cover. Also the main artist headline blends in to much to the title.

This is my third front cover draft. The problems with it is that the colour scheme doesn't stand out and I haven't thought of the sell lines or articles yet, and the left third doesn't fit conventions and have enough of sell lines or article headlines to pull the audience in. and i don't think the image is clear enough and the hair of the model looks wrong.

This is my second front cover draft, I don't think it is good because it has no contents in the right third of the cover, it also has no information of price or bar-code. Its also it is hard to see the difference between the articles and the artists name is not on it.

Here is my conventions analysis of 'VIBE' magazine, how it uses conventions of the R&B genre and also the conventions of music magazines.

Here is a social class grading table and some statistics of social class in the UK
In the case of magazine social grading an important point to add is that grade E also contains students a main purchaser of magazines.

Demographics are statistical characteristics of a population. These types of data are used widely in public opinion polling and marketing. Commonly examined demographics include gender, age, ethnicity, knowledge of languages, disabilities, mobility, home ownership, employment status, and even location. Demographics are very essential about the population of a region and the culture of the people there.
