- 1. In what ways does your media product develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
- 2. This is the music magazine I looked at while making my own magazine. I used this magazine as the model is Adele, her music genre is more of indie pop which is the genre I wanted to use for my magazine. Also the layout and the information of the magazine is how I wanted the front cover of my music magazine.
- 3. Use Develop Challenge I used the same colour scheme for my music magazine as the Q music magazine as it fit in well with the genre I used a female model on the front cover. The images are similar as their hair is wavy and they have no emotion on their face and they look classy I used a floating quote from the artist which the Q magazine also has I developed it by making all 3 colours (white, black and red) more even. More red used in the masthead instead of just all black I darkened the image to make the colour stand out more. Her hair darkened whereas the model on the Q magazine has light hair My floating quote has a different font and the name of the artist is smaller than the Q magazine The masthead on the Q magazine is very simple, in one corner. I went against that and made the masthead on my magazine longer with different font The angle the model is in on the Q magazine is more in the right corner whereas the the image I used it taking up more space on the front cover The stapline on my music magazine is on top of the masthead whereas for the Q magazine its hidden and more smaller
- 4. This is the contents page from the same Q magazine which I looked at while making my music magazine contents page. The layout goes well with the images which is why I figured it will be suitable to look at
- 5. Use Develop Challenge The information is on the left side of the page which is how my layout is set. This is because the images on the Q magazine are on the right. Which is the same as my contents page, the image is on the left, I’ve divided the two so that the audience can see both at once The contents title and date are on top of the page. This reminds the audience that they are reading the contents page and when the information was published I developed on title of the contents as the Q magazines title is very simple with simple font. I made my title large with a font that I have used throughout the music magazine. I changed around the subheadings so instead of “features” I added “inside” as it is simple as it clearly states what's inside the magazine The images on the Q contents page are more close up and mid shots whereas I decided to put a long shot image on my contents page. As the long shot shows the full image including costume on the model which relates to the genre as it is classy and sophisticated. The title of the contents page is directly on top of the page and underneath the subheading. It is in large font whereas the Q magazine it is small and in the corner
- 6. Finally, I used this double page spread as I liked the theme of it, the layout and the floating quote. Although it was a different genre to my music magazine, I done a similar lay out with my own information and changed it up slightly including the colours and images.
- 7. Use Develop Challenge I done a similar technique with the floating quote. The different sizes in each word. It made it look effective and was large as it catches the readers attention and makes them want to read on. The floating quote on my music magazine double page spread was “YouTube changed my life”. I made this a floating quote as it is something the audience of today would be interested in. My colour scheme stayed the same as for the rest of the magazines. I developed on the colours as it went with my specific genre. The colours on the magazine I looked at are more dull and dark. Also I added more colour to the image and the text, the background. Like I mentioned, I added more colour to go with my genre. I used red for some of the text as it is feminine, clear and is used throughout my music magazine One half of the double page spread is an image however I decided to put two images in one and make it half of a page. This was so that more information can be put into the interview and the floating quote. I changed the layout around, instead of having writing on just one page, I wrote more on both pages. I also had a code for the interviewer (red) and interviewee (black) so that the audience
