Evaluation Question 3
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product?
I feel that this has two different answers. Firstly, i believe a small independant distributor would be good, so long as it has the capacity to be distributing nation-wide. A small independant distributor would be attractive to many cool young teenagers who are trying to defend smaller music industry labels, rather than just following the crowd with multi-national cooperations.
However, at the same time, a huge distributor such as IPC Media would be able to back the product financially, whilst also attracting readers from its other already existing products. They would also have no trouble distributing globally, due to their huge man power and global recognition.
Evaluation Question 2
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
"Fire!" magazine represents has a target audience of mostly young adolescent males, so i tried to make it represent them. i have included several images (particularly on the contents page) instead of large chunks of text, as this perhaps will hold my readers attention for longer. I have used mostly young models in my photography, but because i want my audience to be well-rounded musically, have also used some older ones.
I have not used basic fonts for my headings and masthead, as i felt a young lower class audience would be attracted by a more ragged style. However, for the main texts and cover lines, i have used a simpler, plainer font, in order for the message to be clear.
My target audience of teenagers are often represented negatively, so i wanted a new product to show them in a brighter, more positive light. I feel my product does this by listening to what they wanted (through the survey), and including it in a product.
