    Magazine Evaluation

    In what ways does your media product use,


    develop or challenge forms and conventions
    of real media products
    Front cover similarities
    The mastheads on both magazine are both bold, black
    and white and have a similar style font which represents
    the indie genre well.
    Both images slightly cover the masthead which makes the
    magazine more interesting to look at and most indie genre
    magazines do this.
    Each magazine will have a bar code, but it is normally
    very small, and in the bottom corner of the cover as
    its not very important for the reader.
    Magazine gave a variety of sell lines on the magazine which tells the
    reader what will be inside the magazine to attract their attention and
    hopefully buy it.
    Some sell lines will either be around the image of underneath the
    image.
    Sell lines will be shown in different colours. In most indie magazine
    there is normally three colours, this will attract the reader. The
    colours also represent the genre of the magazine as they are
    normally purples, blacks or reds. This are quite darker more
    depressive colours compared to pink in a pop magazine. Therefore
    in my magazine I have three colours consisting of red, purple and
    black.
    Contents Page Similarities
    My image is similar to the real media product example I have
    used from the magazine Kerrang!. I have used and challenged
    the image as the models are quite similar looking, but the angle
    and sizing of the image has made it my own. I prefer the models
    direct eye contact in my image as it will attract the reader
    immediately.
    I have used and challenged Kerrang’s
    contents page, I have used the box of
    colour around the heading, another
    convention I have kept is the layout,
    everything is in line and has the same
    amount of space.

    I have challenged the magazine by putting


    the numbers after the text, also by putting
    one of the heading and text slightly to the
    right as it looked more appealing.
    Double Page Spread
    Similarities
    The images in my magazine and the real media product I have
    used are similar by the use of a backdrop, and the facial
    expressions and poses/attitude of the models.

    I have used conventions of the magazine by the colour schemes


    of the magazine have the same idea of black and white with
    colour added to it.

    I have challenged the double page spread as my magazine has


    more images added to it.
    I have used and challenged the convention of the example magazine. For
    example the main images are similar as they are of a similar aged boy
    band, I have challenged the convention by taking my photo using a
    background which I think draws more attention to the band on the cover
    as there isn't a busy background to distract you.
    I have also challenged the columns of text used, more magazine go along
    in rows where as mine goes across.
