AS Media College Magazine Evaluation
My college magazine conforms to all of the typical conventions
of a magazine as the image is medium close up and the top of the image covers
the masthead to draw attention to the image. Also, the whole of the cover page
uses no more than four or 5 colours and has the text concerning information on
what’s in the magazine on the left hand side. The text itself is small but bold
so it’s noticeable, whereas the masthead is a large font to show that’s the
name of the magazine, there’s also a bar code, price and date.
The contents page too matches the conventions of a typical
contents page as it has several images, but a large image to emphasise the main
story within the magazine. It’s also separated into columns, so that it’s
easier to read and find the page you’re looking to read. The background is
white which is typical of a contents page and it says contents in bold writing
at the top of the page. Just as the cover page, it has the date, name of the
magazine and uses no more than a few colours, in this instance white, blue and
black.
Young people are represented in a positive way as the cover
story praises the hard work of a student that has been rewarded by winning a
competition, which doesn’t fit the stereotype of teenagers that are represented
in the media usually.
Overall, I’ve learnt how to use Photoshop to produce my
cover page and tools within the program as well as Quark to produce my contents
page. I also got a grip of the tools within the program such as crop, refine
layer and editing the fonts, sizes and boldness of text.
