Evaluation Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I've learnt that many different technologies are needed in the process of making the media product. From a camera to prezi, photoshop you have to be skilled in using many platforms to be able to get a good grade.
For example before I started I would've assumed that you could use just a phone and microsoft publisher to make the product, I was unaware of how much better the likes of prezi, photoshop and animation apps are. Also I thought it was weird how you could possibly explain your steps by video instead of typing it all (I know, quite ironic considering I'm writing it now) but now I know how much better it is to vary the types of technology used to make the product and develop it. I would've probably taken photos on my phone and then.

Evaluation Question 5
How did you attract/address your audience?
It is a new magazine of a genre that isnt really out there in big numbers so it is a unique magazine for a genre that was THE genre in the 90s. It was a shame that the genre died out when the pop genre had taken its place. Also there is clearly a large interes
t in the genre as proven on social media by the amount of attention the likes of Oasis, Blur and Pulp get from accounts made to show their appreciation for the era/genre.

Evaluation question 4
Target audience:
My target audience is 25-35 year olds. This is because my magazine is based on music from previous decades which this age group will be more familiar with the music and more likely to want to read about an artist compared to a younger person who wasn't around when the music was at its peak. The majority of readers would be male as it isn't a colourful girly pop magazine, it is a straightforward music magazine with a plain colour scheme.
Reader profile:
Average reader age - 28
Gender of reader - 72% male : 28% female
Readers in employment - 68%
Part time workers - 64%
Full time workers - 36%
Readers in higher education - 27%
Readership - 241, 894
Circulation - 30, 798
iTunes users - 43%
On average Turn Back Times reader spend, per year:
Footwear - £180 (75% Adidas footwear)
Clothes - £493 (34% pretty green)
DVDs - £30
New technology - £300 (48% new phones)
Music Equipment - £834 (60% guitars)
Other information:
95% of readers use the internet to read about music
They spend an average of 24 hours a week online
36% of readers collect vinyls as a hobby
89% of readers have been to a concert within the last year
Here are a few pictures I would associate with my magazine genre type such as bands, clothing and music sources.

Evaluation Question 3
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Sony would distribute my product because they currently dont have a britpop magazine on sale. If they did have one on sale they wouldnt distribute it because this would mean that they would have a rival product for themselves which would mean they would possibly lose money on the product and as the industry is mainly business it wouldn't be a very good idea.
