Draft 1 and 2 of the author's article show progress made in including common magazine conventions like a picture of the author and a quote. The document compares the article design to a sample magazine article, noting features copied like the page number location, genre words in the top left, main image placement, and column text format with a concluding quote. The author also included a film rating and title to prompt audiences to watch an independent short thriller film.

1. Drafts
Draft 1 and draft 2 are
shown here and this
shows the progress that
I have been making
with my article and also
the decisions that I
made including to have
a picture of the author
and a quote which are
two common
conventions of
magazine articles

2. Comparison and analysis
The article to the right is what I based my
magazine articles design on. I decided to
replicate features ( as circled) to make it more
professional and realistic. I copped the
location of the page number, the type of
genre words ( top left), the location of the
main image on the top and also the format of
the column of text with finally a quote from
the reviewer.
I also decided to give the film a star rating
which prompts audiences to watch it more
depending on how high the rating is.
The title of the film was necessary as this was
a independent Short Thriller film so audiences
should want to know the name of the film. In
regards to the location I felt it was
appropriate to put it to the right and just
bellow the picture so it does not spoil it
Moreover, it is also conventional for the first
word of the review to be bigger than the rest
and in a bold capital letter in a different font.
