What kind of media institution would distribute your media product why?

A company like IPC or Bauer media as they are both very big companies. Bauer media distribute magazines and music channels and IPC distribute a wide range of magazines. IPC is an outstanding company which distributes many big magazines of all genres. However, if I had to choose one company I would choose Bauer media as they produce a lot of music magazines and they also have a line of music channels. So they have a wide knowledge of music and could help advertise and promote my magazine in the right way. Furthermore, IPC are an amazing company that are specifically for producing magazine, they also have all different types of genres of magazines. Unlike Bauer. Bauer have a good knowledge of music, however, not a great knowledge of producing music magazines. Either company that I would chose to produce my magazine would do a good job. However, now that I have looked over both companies I would choose IPC as they do not have a Pop magazine like mine so they wouldn’t have to compete with their own type of magazine.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My magazine represents my particular social group because the group that I chose is young girls between the ages of 15 to 25. This allows me to use very girly colours such as pink and purple. The social group that I want to mainly attract is a very girly kind of girl. The type of girl that would listen to boy bands and girls like Miley Cyrus. They would be young, predominantly white typically in full time education. They don’t have much money to spend spare but they have enough a month to buy my magazine. The girl would typically spend time with her friends and socialize with other music fans.

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

Ryans Gosling Images

I got this image from google images. The website is www.digitalspy.co.uk. i decided to use a found image because i wanted to have an image of someone who was
extremely good looking  and had a good body. so i thought it would be appropriate to get someone 
famous off of the internet.

Front cover Progresion

Crown

i traced and scanned the crown onto the computer and then opened it in photoshop. i then used the outline and filled in the middle with black to make a silhouette.
