1) In what ways does you media product use, develop or challenge forms and convection's of real media products?

I produce the media product by developing the title, text, layout, and images together to form a single product. I used the title as a a big text message to attract people who like rock music and get excited about it. I introduced the title "Rock'in" for the mode of address because it is an exciting title. I used images that were similar to images used of models in professional rock n roll music magazines.




This masthead is modern and it follows convention's of real media products.





Companies produce magazines introducing a logo. Such as this image of a masthead for the XBOX 360 magazine, including text with a small image.











Most magazines would have images of medium close up shots, because its very common in the society around the world to get a good clear idea of what people are presented in the shot. Such as this type of medium close up shot of a woman with her chest up and head together. Also most of the images showing facial expressions to the audiences or the readers.
This magazine contains the mode of address by using the text present with big open titles as mastheads, like MADONNA with the information of explaining the interview.
Also another way to call mode of address for taken this shot would be called reaction shot, therefore I can see she just calm, and looking more serious or mysterious.

Publishing House Case Study

The company I’m researching about is “MusicMags”, they sell interesting magazines such as they sell different great graphics music magazine. Also, they advertise it or display it, and with an extra information such as, the introduction or the background about the information.

However, the company does employ lots of musicians for to be writing about or to be photographed to be parts of the different magazines. The total amount of musicians was involved in the company for to do the making of the magazines was about two million, and one hundred thousand. Also, there lots of different types of people who got talent to play different types of instrument such as the elderly, young, old, and different genders.

They do some advertisements of the musical products and equipments for part of designing the magazines. This means they taken photos of the products, and leave some text with it to explain or giving description or details of the products.

The type of audience for what company is targeting is people who likes playing music or be interested with music such as, includes elderly, young, old, and different genders. Sometimes the magazines can attract most of the customers to buy it, and read it, and get interest it. However, the company does introduce some people’s culture, hobbies, and other different types of talent. This is why there’s lots of musicians were involved with the company to be parts of the music photographs for the designs of the magazine, and this brings more and more customers or the audience to get involved.Whereas the company does have any other business interests such as they ask for or gathering most of the musicians or people who can plays or use talents for to do some music and be involved or part of the magazines. They also do deals to buy it or sometimes explaining what happened about customers buying some magazines, and explaining how many MusicMagss retailers about 1400 being collectively earned 3.5 times the industry standard in annual revenue per square foot through their MusicMags program.

The kind of media institution might distribute my media product or a music magazine is, it should write or explain main plot and the features about my music magazine. This includes, what is the meaning of the text, and what type of images presented. Finally, explaining the styles or graphic designs used for the pages of magazine.
