2. My masthead follows the codes and conventions as it is unique. To create this masthead I changed the colour and font. The title should have much been bigger and bolder. The main coverline should have been bigger to make it clearer than that it is actually the main coverline. The main coverline should have also being lower down the page rather than just underneath the title. My magazine has a website which follows the codes and conventions of a magazine front cover, I think that it should have been a little bigger. I have followed the codes and conventions by using a close up of a student holding her results.
3. The words ‘features’ and ‘regulars’ this would usually appear on a real media product. The word ‘contents’ is big however in an actual magazine it is not usually this big. imported the pictures I had taken previously I used ‘ctrl shift F’ to resize the images. The images are slightly zoomed in and in my opinion would have been more effective it their was pictures which were slightly different sizes. I have listed the contents, however have no written any more information underneath explaining exactly what the features and regulars include. In an actual magazine some amount whether it be a small amount or large amount would have been included on the contents page.
4. Media technologies In the construction of my media product I used new media technologies. To create the front cover of my magazine I used Photoshop, to do the contents page I used quark express. I found these were effective and useful when creating my work. Strengths and weaknesses When creating my media product I feel I did quite good when following the Codes and conventions. For instance on my front cover I took a picture and used the image as the main image which dominates the front cover. How ever on the front cover my Coverlines were too high up, not big enough and the font was not unique and individual. On my contents page, in my opinion the images I had taken work quite well and are very similar as to how I expected they would look when planning. One of my weaknesses I feel is underneath the Coverlines I have not included any additional writing to tell the audience what they will be reading about. I could have improved my work by making the front cover and contents look more individual which will then make it look like an actual magazine which people would buy.
