The document discusses the masthead, cover lines, color scheme, and layout of the author's media product compared to a real music magazine called Vibe. Key similarities include a centrally located masthead, cover lines on the left side in matching colors, rule of thirds placement for the main image, and use of buttons to draw attention.

2. My media product does have quite a lot of common factors that you would find on
a real music magazine. My masthead is unique and different as is every masthead
because each magazine uses a different font which is recognised by the audience.
My masthead is similar to most R&B magazines on the front of the magazine
mastheads as they are always in the centre of the page, sometime some of the
masthead is covered by the main image, I didn't do this I kept my masthead clear
some everyone would be able to see it.
As you can see my masthead is completely clear same as the vibe magazine but
some of them Vibe masthead is covered by a button but you can still clearly see
what magazine it is.

3. The main cover line on my magazine is written down the left hand side on its
own so that it stands out. I kept the colour scheme throughout the front cover
using the colours blue and red. The vibe magazine which I am comparing my
magazine to also put its main cover line on the left hand side of the page, they
have also kept the colour scheme and write it in the same colour as the title.
I also had other cover line on my front cover but on the other side of the page an I
used a smaller text so they were different from my main cover line.
You can see in the images of my magazine and
vibe magazine how are cover lines are similar in
where they are on the page and the colour
schemes which have been used,

4. In my research I learnt
about the rule of thirds,
this is if the image in in
the centre of the page it
shows dominance. The
image on my magazine
takes up the whole
page but the artist on
the cover is in the
centre of the page just
like the image on the
vibe magazine. When
the artist on the cover
looks at the camera it
looks like they are
looking at you and
draws you in.

5. I also used a button on the front of my magazine to get the audiences
attention, Vibe have also used a button on the magazine I am comparing
with. My button is advertising a competition inside whereas Vibes is
advertising the pops hottest.
