Evaluation Question 1

Blog 60

Hello Everyone,

              Today, I answered question 1 “In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?”

The main conventions my magazine uses are:

•          Florence & Last Shadow Puppets have close up/extreme close up (Front cover)
•          Very similar blocky layout like NME (Contents page)
•          Image on left hand side page split 50/50 (Double-page spread)

The main conventions my magazine develops are:

•          Taken idea of a large title and put a box around it (Front cover)
•          I took the title idea and changed the wording and the font (Contents page)
•          Drop capital pink rather than black (Double-page spread)

The main conventions my magazine challenges are:

•          Not normally photos on location (Front cover)
•          I used 3 boxes at the bottom of the page and that isn’t often seen (Contents page)
•          Smaller images bottom right
