Media coursework analysis for my end product.

3. Positives
 “Will he wont he” questions the audience allowing them to
become engaged into the interview before they have
initially started reading. This is a real eye opener for many
people, giving them an incentive to carry on reading.
 The size of the photo gives the reader a true idea on how
big the stars which are being interviewed actually are. This
gives the audience a genuine reason for wanting to read the
article.

4. Negatives
 The layout of the questions and answers could be quite
confusing to a reader. If they have reading difficulties, there
is no indication of a difference between question and
answer, if added with different colours then this problem
may be removed.
 There is no feel of comfort for the audience, if a different
colour scheme was applied, then it may allow the reader to
feel more engaged with the interview, and give them a
feeling that the stars are just like them, rather then a
feeling that there miles apart.

5. Conventions which could be used.
 The “will he wont he” quote really stands out, this
could be very appropriate for the creation of my end
product, since it may give the magazine a professional
look to it. Whilst engaging the audience with the
interview.

7. Positives
 The clear difference between question and answer is a
perfect layout for a double page spread, the audience can
quickly scan for an individual question that they most
particularly want to read.
 The colour scheme is very inviting, bright colours with a
range of tones, this gives the magazine a look like its
designed for a younger generations.
 The use of a quote on page two gives the audience a
possible feeling that there idols which are being
interviewed are just like them, giving them an incentive to
carry on reading to gain a higher understanding of the
group.

8. Negatives
 The use of five different pictures really gives the magazine a
over crowded feel. The use of one or two pictures would
have been more effective for the double page spread.
 Again the colour scheme is good, but it attracts a more
female audience, possibly giving the magazine a label
which alienates the male audience, causing them to retract
there interest in the magazine it self.

9. Conventions that could be used
 The layout scheme of the question and answer is very
attractive, a different range of colours and fonts may be
adapted for my product, but will be very similar.
 The use of a quote in a completely different colour and font
gives a good design to the magazine, and would benefit my
end product highly, since it may attract the target audience
causing them to take a higher interest in my end product.
