Question 1: In what ways does your product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
AND

Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My magazine was primarily based on the popular music magazine, NME. The name of my magazine shows a perfect example of this. Through the pages that I have designed and created I have abbreviated the name of my magazine from ‘Indie Nation’ to ‘IN’. Also the layout of my magazine can be recognised by NME magazine. I think that due to this similar style I have used I believe that my magazine appeals to an audience of young adults. Also, the images that I took were in the same way in which NME took theirs. If you look at the front page of my magazine and compare it to a front page of NME’s then you can see that they both look into the direction of the camera. This gives the impression that it is addressing the audience personally therefore enticing them in. I chose to use a font style that is used in almost all of the music magazines, which is a formal font. This is because it gives an adult feel to it that suits my target audience of young adults rather than an immature feel that you would get if I used an informal font. My media product would appeal to young adults who are interested into indie and alternative music over people who enjoy death core music because of my layout, image and colours. I think that the primary colour for a death core magazine would be black as this represents who they are and my magazine does not provide black as a main colour but include more blues and reds. Also my main cover image trends with other images from magazines such as NME and Q whereas they are almost the opposite of images from music magazine from Metal Hammer.
