1. Main Task Evaluation.
Question 1:
In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

2. Layout.
Pull Quotes:
•
I used pull quotes because it
gives the reader key quotes
from the article in a quick and
easy way.
•
It fits in with the target
audience, as they may not
want to read the entire
article, and instead just read
the important quotes from
the article.
Writing Style:
•
I have set out my double page spread
article into a simple question and
answer format.
•
This is used in the Top of the Pops
Magazine and therefore as I am trying
to emulate it, it would work well in my
music magazine
•
This writing style would fit into the
target audience, because it is easily
readable and makes the process of
reading the article much quicker as it is
set out in a simple formation
Style of Photography:
•
The style of photography used
in this double page spread is
similar on both of these
•
Both of these shots are closeups, and are able to focus on
the particular artist in the shot
•
This fits into the target
audience, because it focuses
on the artist, and this is what
the reader wants to read
about.
Colour Scheme:
•
The colour scheme
is slightly similar to
the example that I
am using. This fits
into my double
page spread,
because

3. Layout.
Masthead:
•
The masthead in the Top of
the Pops Magazine, I used to
emulate in my front cover. I
positioned it in the top left of
the page. It will appeal due to
the style of the font, the
colour of it and the fact that it
is aimed at a playful, young
audience.
Style of Photography:
•
•
The photography used in both
front covers is similar. Both the
shots in these front covers, are
similar as they are both medium
shots.
This applied to my target
audience, because it suits the
conventions of front covers, as
most magazines use medium
shots.
Cover Lines:
•
The cover lines in my magazine
are bright and vibrant.
•
This will fit into my target
audience, because the audience
is young and therefore the
vibrancy of the text as well as
the bright colours, will make it
stand out and be more
noticeable to the reader.
Colour Scheme:
•
The colour scheme
for this magazine is
bright and vibrant
as it is made at a
young audience
•
Comparing this to
the Top of the Pops
magazine, which I
am aiming to
emulate, the colour
scheme there is
vibrant also.

4. Conventions Developed
• From magazines that I looked at, I decided to
develop colour schemes for my magazine.
• Some of the magazines that I looked at, didn’t
develop a colour scheme very well, such as Top of
the Pops Magazine. As a result, by me developing
a colour scheme for this magazine, allows for the
magazine to be more appealing to my target
audience.
