Evaluiation
- 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
- 2. Front Covers… As you can see, I got my inspiration of my music magazine from this magazine ‘Billiard’. I liked the way it was just one bold colour as the background with the title writing and just one photo of the model so I did the same but in my own way. I also got the idea of having the models name in big writing from this magazine. I put all the writing down the left hand side so that it balanced out with the big picture. I also only used grey and white and then a more brighter colour purple so that it doesn’t clash too much with the big picture. I think this work really well, because for all the big stories etc… I used the purple to catch the eye.
- 3. Contents Page… For the contents page, I got my inspiration from this contents page in ‘teen vogue’. I liked the way the ‘fashion and features’ was place down the side of the page so I copied it and put ‘music and features’ instead. I also took the idea of the picture being on the right hand side with the sign ‘get to know the real ‘Taylor Swift’. I think mine worked really well, especially as it was black and white, it went well with the rest of the contents page. I also copied the idea of where the different pages in the magazine were on the page. Instead of the pink numbers with love hearts around them, I just had them purple. I added different coloured lines to add more colour and more brighter.
- 4. Double Page Spread… For the double page spread, I mainly got my inspiration from this double page spread from ‘Now’. I copied the idea of the stripes which has models above doing different poses and then a huge picture of the model in bright colours. I did this in my own way and slightly changed it. I kept the theme of black, white, grey and purple so that it went with the front cover and the contents page. I took the idea of the big ‘D’ from the magazine in the middle. I decided not to have a bright colour as I thought it would be too much with the purple and black writing so I made it a subtle grey. I also kept the theme of the lines the same as in the contents page which I think is good.
