media A2 coursework

1. How effective is the combination of
your main production and your
ancillary tasks?

2. Masthead
Throughout my magazine I have written my masthead in the same font, the
reason for this is that it will make it recognisable to my audience and creates
a sense of continuity. The only slight difference is that sometimes I had to
change the size of the masthead slightly to make it fit in with the layout.

3. House Style
Across both my ancillary tasks, front cover, advert and double page spread I
used the same house style. The reason for this similarly to the masthead is to
generate a sense on continuity and to make it recognisable to readers of the
magazine. The way I did this was by using the same fonts, layout and colour
schemes. This can be shown below.

4. Codes and Conventions
Looking at the codes and conventions helped me to create my magazine and
billboard. For example researched showed me that on the billboard there is
usually an image of a front cover of one of the magazine, therefore when creating
my magazine I included an image of my magazine. Doing this also generates a
sense of continuity across my magazine. Looking at these codes and conventions
also showed me that most billboards include a website link on the bottom right
hand side and sometimes include the logos of the social networking sites that its
on the bottom left hand side.
