  In what waysdoes your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? My media product represents the Middle Class social group. This is because the price is set a standard were most people can afford. Also the way some words are interrupted in the magazine would be able to be understood by the younger, teenagers side of the audience.

  How did youattract/address your audience? I attracted my audience by mostly the title ‘Swagger’ this would make the audience pick up the magazine and then have a look at the front cover. I then made sell lines naming famous artists so that would attract them to pick it up. Lastly I used colloquial language so the teenagers can relate to what has been written.

  What have youlearnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? To be honest I have not learnt all that much on the technology sides of things as I did use photo shop and power point presentation for my GCSE media projects. But obviously I have learnt some new things like the healing tool in photo shop, it makes certain stains and marks disappear. Also the cloning tool I got used to quite quickly as I used it quite often.
