Evaluation Question 3!

Question 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

IPC Media

*      IPC Media would be perfect for distributing my product because they have a very wide range of popular magazines and are very experienced having been formed in 1963 and now having over 85 media brands in print. I think this would be good for my product as they have a lot of experience with new magazines and how to market them best.

*      They also have a range of other very popular music magazine in their print such as NME and Kerrang! Who both have very high ABC’s. So IPC would be good at marketing and distributing my product as IPC reach almost two thirds of UK women and 44% of men so there would be good chance of my product being popular and read across the country.

*      Currently they don’t have any pop magazines in print so my magazine could potentially bring in a new market and reach a different target audience to the ones they are currently reaching, which would increase the profit of the company and broaden their overall audience.

*      Having so many magazines and so many years experience their reputation is built and their company is know, so having my product published by a IPC Media would be reassuring and a good start at attracting my target audience and making my product popular.

*      They also are solely a publishing company so wouldn’t be distracted by any other ventures that would over shadow my product.

Evaluation Question 2!

Question2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My media product represents the C2 and D social groups because of the jobs they have (of skilled and semi skilled manual workers, supervisory or clerical workers and junior managers) and the amount of money they earn, which could affect their interests and tastes. C2 is also the largest social group so my product will reach a wide audience.

My cover represents these social groups through the clothes my female model is wearing as she is dressed in a high street dress which the C2 and D social groups could afford. My model is also in a more natural position not totally styled and airbrushed. The location isn’t very fancy; it is just a plain slightly patterned backdrop, which shows how my product isn’t the type to go to expensive location for a cover shoot. The cover also doesn’t look very posh or serious so would attract my desired social groups.

The Articles featured in my product are also representative of C2 and D social groups as they aren’t serious or loads to read which isn’t what these groups want when they have been working or have the day off. Also the artists featured in my product such as Katy Perry and Bruno Mars are very popular with these social groups so my product is representative of what they like. The way my male model in my double page spread is dressed is also a good representation as he too is wearing high street clothes that my social groups can afford to buy and wear themselves.

The whole look and vibe of my product is quite relaxed as well so the C2 and D classes would want to read it. The bright colours and simple layout represents them well.
