product use, develop or challenge
forms and conventions of real media
products?

7. Threecolumns have
been used and they are
all aligned perfectly on
the left hand side of the
columns. There are no
hyphens used
throughout the text so it
is easy for to read and is
more professional. The
font colour stands out
against the background
and is clear and easy to
read. The font style is
plain and simple and
therefor again is easy to
read. He font size is
small however is not too
small that it is difficult to
read, just small enough
so that a lot of
information is able to fit
in.
The purpose of the smaller masthead in the
corner is to maintain a brand identity
throughout the magazine and also to maintain a
house style.
The purpose of the photograph
is to catch peoples attention by
making it large and bold. The
photo is of the artist so that you
know who the double page
spread is bout before they read
it. This will make sure that
anyone who is a fan or is
interested in the artist is likely to
read the interview following the
image.
