Evaluation Q1

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

I used continuity by using a house style throughout my product; I used similar font types in each product as it makes the overall presentation of my magazine professional and consistent. Additionally, the fonts that I used work well with the genre of my magazine being indie as the font is edgy and wouldn’t be associated with genres of music such as classical.

I used the colour black, grey and light pink for my scheme colours as it works well with the audience, attracting both male and female which creates a bigger audience for the magazine, persuading more people to buy it. I kept the colour scheme throughout each product in different sections as it creates an even distribution which I feel will attract the target audience well.

The same artists are on my front cover, contents and DPS as they are the main content of the magazine. I decided on the same people to feature on each product as like the font type and colour scheme it is consistent and creates a professional outlook on the magazine.

Continuity represents my magazine well as it keepers the readers engaged whilst reading. 

Additionally, with the house style being the same and consistent it makes it easier for the readers to follow and understand. An example of this is if a well-known artist is stopped on the front of a magazine, it would automatically attract the audience to buy it. Additionally, if they were to skip through the pages and see that continuity of that particular artist featuring elsewhere in the magazine it’s going to persuade them more so to read/purchase it.
