Evaluation Question 2

"How does your media product represent particular social groups?"

I used a video to answer Evaluation Q2, making me learn more about film editing tech. I had to upload it on Dailymotion as the uploading process for Blogger is acting faulty. The password to access the file is: Q2

Evaluation Question 1

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

We originally worked on question 1 as a group activity and our group was assigned the contents page, however I did my own version of Q1 on my own magazine I created, and it's here.

Finished Contents Page

Finished version of the contents page (with ruler lines for printing purposes) 

I drew in conventions from this contents page and Mojo's contents page, however I also decided to use a few differences in order to give the magazine it's own style so it wouldn't look copied.

Finished Double Page Spread

Final draft of Double Page Spread (ruler lines for printing purposes).

Kerrang's Double Page Spread (another alternative music magazine) gave me slight inspiration for this double page spread, the overlapping of the words onto the image, especially. However I did make it rather different at the same time while adapting conventions of Kerrang's Double Page Spread, as I wanted to maintain my magazines house style and put my own spin on it.

Updating The Double Page Spread

I decided to change the overall heading area of the double page spread in order to make it follow more conventions of a typical music magazine of the genre I have been following.

DPS Article

Almost the final version of the double page spread, the written article for the double page spread I made for Niles, I've tried to portray him as an alternative artist as best as I could.

Double Page Spread Update

I have decided to change what sort of style I'd prefer for my double page spread, after looking at conventions and style models for punk/alternative magazines I think something similar to this works better - with the title or an attention grabbing quote going over to the other side of the page. I feel like this would work better as it'd look more appealing to readers.
