Evaluation: Question 1

Hey Everyone,

Today I started to answer my questions for my evaluation. I have finished my answer to question one and will soon be turning my bullet points into a detailed and well explained script, here is an outline of my answer:

1.      In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

USE
 Front cover:
·         Having the main artists name large on the page
·         Bar-code with price and website
·         Plug with win tickets in
·         Issue number and date

Contents:
·         The layout
·         Large page numbers
·         Subscription box
·         Plus column

Double Page:
·         Caption on image
·         Quote in the article
·         Subtitle
·         Image on the left
·         3 columns of text

DEVELOP:
Front cover
·         Photo- not as much as a close up as normal
·         Title is colour with an outline

Contents Page:
·         Plus column is in the centre and a lot larger than NME
·         Title I have used “inside” rather than inside this week

Double page spread:
·         Title goes over both pages and not just on one as most magazines do
·         The quote, mainly with text not on the image

CHALLENGED
Front cover:
·         The title is in the centre, traditionally at the left hand side
·         Photo- normal studio photos, also on an angle and not profile
·         Issue number is larger than normal
·         Used a full length word for my title and now an abbreviation

Contents page:
·         My subscription is at the bottom of the page and not in a box
·         A relatively large part about social media along the bottom

Double page spread:
·        Album cover, not often used
