(EVALUATION) In what way does your media product use, develop or chalange forms and conventions of real media products.

I have stuck to only including one picture on my front cover, another on my contents page and another on my first page of my article. many top selling magazines use this technique on some of there pages. E.g 'Q', 'XXL' and 'Vibe'. using this on my front cover makes it look more organised. In the hooks i have make the main words about what is included stand out. this will catch the readers eye and make them read on. i have stuck to a house style throughout my magazine to make it look more professional.

We were giving a brief to deign and make a magazine for heworth grange school. We had to make a front cover and a contents page. To make these parts of my magazine, firstly, i had to go around the school and take pictures, the more pictures the better as i had a wider range to choose from. Once i had all my pictures it was now just choosing the ones that worked the best. i started off with the background first using yellow, yellow is one of the heworth colours so i thought it worked really well. I then added the magazine title and a bit of information on what issue and date he magazine was.also a few pictures and a little bit of writing which gives you information on what the main story's are. On the contents page is a few pictures and more information on what is in the magazine. all the pictures have got a Shadow in the background, i think it makes it stand out that little bit more.
