Olivia Grayson-Kirk created various ancillary products to promote her newspaper, including a front cover design, inside page layout, billboard poster, and radio advert. She conducted several questionnaires and focus groups with her target audience to gather feedback on newspapers and ideas for her product. Using software like Photoshop, Publisher, and PowerPoint, she designed her newspaper and ancillary products. She uploaded her work to a blog and used technologies like cameras, voice recorders, and presentation platforms to complete her media project.
My media product follows many of the conventions of real music magazines like NME by including a large noticeable name on the front cover, smaller images between sell lines on the inside covers, and a masthead with page numbers on the contents page. However, it challenges some conventions by using a single female artist for the background image instead of a band and including a message from the editor on the contents page to make readers feel more involved. The double page spread also adheres to conventions by using a large image on one side and quotation box to break up the large text, mimicking real magazine styles.

4. The font of the title of each magazine is extremely large and bold.
This allows people to pay attention to the title and begin to Existing products
recognise the magazine. Also, the title are in capitals and one colour
emphasising greatly the importance of it.
The mention of the front cover artist is a feature that is visible on many magazines. For
example Lil Wayne featured on the existing products magazine. This text is a bold font
however, usually a smaller size than the title so confusion is not made as to what is the
title. I chose a font from the internet website DAFONT to present my featuring artist. This
allowed me to download fonts that were specific to my genre. The font I chose was sharp
and clean to represent the culture.
Again for headlines I used DAFONT, this meant my headlines were simple but
stood out. Like the existing product my text was again in capitals to emphasis the
features. I felt the fonts I used for the front cover were modern and
stylish, which is what most magazines aim to achieve.
My contents page font was clear and easy to read. The sub heading text was larger than
the description of what's in the magazine. This was so the writing was effectively
presented. However, the existing product was relatively similar with a simple font so
the text was legible with sub heading that stand out more. I feel mine looks more
quirky with contrasting colours to show more important sections instead of just black
and white that could come across slightly tedious.
Beginning with the font of the introduction and its bold structure
presents a visibly striking and noticeable sentence. Followed by the
article in a sharp font to be read with ease. The existing products font
shows many comparisons. Such as the article font being neat and easily
visible. The important and bold writing presented in the middle is like the
introduction of my magazine. The boldness shows the relevance of the
quote and draws attention. Both magazine font is in black so the text
stands our and bounces of the pale coloured background.

These colours were from graffiti and artistic looking
photographs. For my double page I wanted to

found a location with colourful graffiti. It made my

writing I used a sharp red to state the writing and
connote passion for the genre. This technique of
bright colours was used for the front cover aswell.

A single line across the top of the page with a mentioning of artists

Normally the actual text is a different colour to the background and
is subtle but effective. I interpreted this technique within mine to
