Evaluation
My Media task is based on a music magazine, that i have produced to make it suitable and appropriate for all the conventions of a magazine. i decided to look at exsisting media products and compare it with my product that i have designed.
My magazine is aimed at, young males between the ages of 18-35 years old. My magazine is targeted at grime fans, the reason why i have choosen this particular genre is because I have an interest in that music. found a magazine called, RWD which is the only grime magazine. the magazine gave me ideas on what I could possibly do for my mag. i also researched other various magazines that are very different from the grime genre such as NME, Q and Vibe. These magazines are very popular in the UK.
My magazine that i designed was on Adobe indesign, Photoshop and Paint. these programs are very useful and are designed for editing. the pictures that i have taken were from my digital camera. the pics are from a london estate, where grime music is very popular in that estate. my front cover that i designed, was produced on adobe indesign. the colours that were used on the title on my front cover was, grey,red,blue, yellow,green and orange. the reason why i choose these particular colours is to attract the target audience, the font size was in capital letters. these was used to get the target audience

Second textual analyses
Vibe is very succesful magazine launched by people inside the music industry, specifically the development side of things rather than the performance. Vibe is very rare because its launched by industry professionals rather than outsiders or hobbyist journalists. Vibe is launched by a accaliamed micheal jackson producer Quincy Jones who is very succesful critically commercially. Vibe circulation figures are approxiametely 800,00 almost 1 million. the reason why i presume vibe is very succesful is because of the backing of the legendary music producer and also the contact he knows, which he works withn the industry. Vibe is in partnership with Time inc, which is a very popular publisher. the magazine is targeted at young urban males, just like the music genre, Vibe ran a special on women in hip hop issue which is tergeting female audience. however the majority of covers target young males to adults. the age range would probably be around the ages of 18-30 years old.
Vibe realeses its magazine monthly, 12 times a year. The magazine above is a big rap special edition which was published in June 2009, it features Eminem who is a famous mainstream rapper.Eminem has won 170 awards, which includes 11 Grammys, 10 mtv awards and so on. Eminem has sold approxiametely 80 million records worldwide. The

The title Vibe is in capital letters, the word vibe is in bold which gives it an affect to the reader. the colour of the title is in red, which i suggest is a male colour and is used to make the magazine masculine. the colour of the artist on the left side is in the same colour as the title, it is printed in a large font, to attract the readers attention. underneath that header Eminem it says he comes clean, By this I assume the interview is related to his personal life, which means the readers get to know more about Eminem. I noticed just above the word Eminem, it quotes i almost died, this will make the issue more exciting Eminem fans to buy, the magazine above. The way Eminem stands in the
