Q1 Evaluation Media

1. WRITTEN CONTENT
Q1. In what ways does your media product
use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of real media products?

2. MAIN AND ANCILLARY
TASK EXAMPLESOf written content

3. USE/DEVELOP
MAGAZINE
• For my front cover I chose words I felt were the most important to have the largest e.g ‘help for heroes’
‘partnership’ ‘sophie’ in order to attract readers and give them a quick insight into the magazine.
• For my contents page I made the largest text the most important again in order to attract readers and give
them a brief insight for easy navigation when deciding to buy the magazine or not.
• For my double page spread I chose emotional words in order to intrigue the reader and also to reach them
on a more personal level which my target audience in specific would enjoy in a magazine.
BILLBOARD
WEBSITE
• For my billboard I again chose
the most important and simple
words in which passers by
could process quickly and
know what message I’m trying
to send across. I stuck to
typical conventions here as I
felt this convention worked
best for what message I was
conveying.
• For my website my written
language choices were the
same as my billboard and
magazine to keep in with a
house-style. The most
important text the largest to
draw the reader in and the
smaller text the detail to the
larger text.

4. For all of my tasks I used North East slang in order to
fit with the regional genre of the magazine, as I have
seen no regional magazines follow this I am
challenging conventions. However by doing this I feel
that I am reaching y target audience as a more
personal level which is something they would like and
also it further sets apart my regional magazine from
national ones.
