When creating a magazine cover and contents page, the student wanted to use conventions from real magazines to make their product appealing. This included using a bright main image with smiling faces, an interesting masthead to grab readers' attention, and incorporating the school colors of red, green, and yellow. The student also aimed to include intriguing storylines to engage their target audience.

1. In what ways does you media product use, develop or challenge forms
and conventions of real media products?
When creating my magazine cover and contents page I wanted to make
sure that the form and conventions were similar to that of other
magazines. I wanted to make sure that I had a bright main image with
smiling faces to make the magazine look more enticing and enjoyable to
read. I wanted to make sure that I had an interesting and snappy
masthead to automatically grab my reader’s attention and I went with
‘Cor Unum’ which is irish for ‘One Heart’ this really speaks out our school
motto. I wanted to ensure that I had the school colours of red, green
and yellow throughout my front cover and contents page and I think I
achieved this goal. I wanted to have interesting story lines to attract my
target audience’s attention.
