2. I have mainly chosen to follow the conventions of real magazine products through
several aspects of my front page. However how some magazines choose to have a
close up of their main artist making an intimidating eye contact with the reader,
I have chosen to have challenge this approach by taking a medium shot of
my main artist to incorporate into the picture his muscular physique with the desired
effect of showing creating animposing sense of power to the reader.
