1. In what ways does your media
product use, develop or challenge
conventions of real media
products?
Preliminary Evaluation1

2. Front Page
• My page follows many conventions such as;
– Masthead at the top of the page which is in a serif
font as the magazine is meant to be formal and
aimed at parents and teachers
– I have used formal photos illustrating what the
school looks like; representing it in a positive light
– I have followed a suitable colour scheme across
the two pages
– There are formal coverlines

3. • I have challenged certain
conventions on my front page
such as;
– Having my main cover line at the
bottom which I think makes the
reader look at the whole
magazine page

4. Contents Page
• The contents page follows conventions such
as;
– The page is well structured, following grids to
make it look more professional.
– The colour is the same as the front page showing
continuality
– Pictures are used to illustrate the contents in the
magazine

5. • Conventions challenged are;
– I have put a subscription box in the
middle of the page which is usually
located on the last page of the
magazine. This makes more people
interested and might make them
want to buy more issues.
