In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use, Develop or Challenge Forms and Conventions of Real Media Products?

• The title of the magazine is 'Shooch', the name does not mean anything in particular. I decided on this name because I went to a club with the similar name and it sounded right for my magazine.
• The placement of the title of the magazine is at the top of the page, this is a usual thing of magazines. It makes it look professional, which is why I decided on this idea.
• The images used in my magazine are of people between the ages of 18 and 21, which is within my target audience.
• The genre of my magazine is dance. The typical target audience would be those of around 16-25 of working to middle class who have a great interest in Dj's. I decided to use this genre because this type of music is a personal interest of mine. My friends and I are into this type of music which has enabled me to access some of the needs of this target audience. There is not many magazines around of this particular genre which in my eyes would make it rather original and would have a large circulation in the UK.
• My magazine suggests the genre mentioned above by the images used in the magazine and the artists that are mentioned throughout. The artists are the typical people that those of the target audience are interested in. The main image ont the front cover is of someone dancing, which typically reaches the audience of the magazine.
• The written content of the magazine is simple but informative. The use of this idea is to prevent overwelming the reader with information.
• On the contents page there are boxes for 'features' and 'regulars'. These show what is new and different is this particular issue of Shooch and what is normally found in the magazine.

I think all of the above help to style to magazine so that it would reach the target audience. There are very few magazines that would reach this audience and I think that with the creation of this magazine it could appeal to the audience and have a wide circulation. It would fill the gap in the market for people who are interested in this genre as there is not alot available for them in terms of magazines.
