Analysis

Analysis of Front page, DPS and Contents.

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

 

With all three of my pages I tried to use similar colours all the way through, not really using the same background though. I used the colours, blue, and red, green, black and white. My artist seems to wear a lot of them colours so I though that if I matched them all the way through it would show the continuity. I used mainly Arial in the DPS and the contents page because it links them both together, and if I were to-do a full magazine I would have the same font in the pages, just have different ones for the front page. I decided to use 3 fonts on my front page, as it makes it more exciting and attracts a wide range of people, at first I used a lot more and it looked messy so I think the fact I have lowered it to 3 has made the magazine look more readable and connotes the magazine genre I wanted which was alternative. I chose not to put a page number on the double page spread, as some magazines don't do that. Since on the contents page it tells you what page it is on I thought it wasn’t vital that it didn’t need to be on my DPS. I felt that it matched the conventions of the genre as the colours are what people in that sort of group would wear. It also doesn't attract males or females its colour that attracts them all.
