EVALUATION question 1

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



I tried to develop a conventional media product that used aspects of usual magazine conventions, e.g on the cover, i have included a mast head, barcode, advertisement-for my interviews and my two page spread feature as the object to draw attention of the customer. i think the image i used works well with the words (quote) i used to acompany it, with the frase, "with attitude like mine, cooperation goes out the window" and the blurred image of my subject swinging the guitar as if ignoring the camera.

  My contents page, in my opinion, fits the normal conventions of any magazine, lconventionset alone a music magazine. its simplicity, i think is its down fall, due to the fact that this is the area i struggled on the most.

  i think that my two page spread, worked more towards the normal conventions of a music magazine, the writing, small but readable, the image dominating most of the page. it has a direct quote from the text, which i think should have been used for my cover if i had written my text before actual production.

 in my opinion, my product is quite standard in terms of  conventions, some parts are missing, after i overlooked the pieces, but they essential represent common music magazines.
