In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of a real media product?
Cover comparison
On the left is the real media artefact, the title of this
magazine is in large, bold writing across the top of the page; this writing is
behind the main image. The main image is a group, almost, full body shot that
spans across the whole page, the main person is more forward than the other
members of the featured band and is front and centre of the page. The main
titles on the cover are in red and yellow, which adds colour to the page. A
large amount of space on the cover is used to advertise the free cd, attached
to the cover, which comes with the issue. The banner across the top, above the
title of the magazine, shows images of the posters featured in the issue and
another feature story. This cover is quite busy the colours and text but is
simple to follow and easy to see what each title is in order of their
importance due to the layout, colours, font style and size. The barcode is
quite small and features the issue number, website and price.
On the right is my cover, the title of my magazine is bold
and takes up a large space on the top left of my cover, however my title does
not go across the entire top of the page like it does in the real media
artefact. The main image is a mid- shot, I didn’t feel the need to do a full
body shot like in the real media artefact because I was not taking a group
photo; the main image does span across nearly the whole page however. My cover
is simple but the style is very bold with splashes of red, the fist for the
logo especially is very bold, these are things to be associated with the genre
of metal. I also feature other pictures on my cover as the real artefact does.
My barcode is similar to the one on the real media artefact in the way of size;
I have also displayed the issue number, price and website here.
