Presentation on double page spread, questions 1 and 2
1.
2. In what way does your media
product use, develop or
challenge forms and
conventions of real media
products?
By following my own colour scheme my
Double Page Spread follows many
magazines conventions by using a colour
scheme throughout the magazine. I also
included two quotes from my interview
enlarged in a different colour to the text
used for the interview, the colour used was
one I’ve used throughout my magazine, I
feel this relates back to my magazine
making it more personal toward ‘Jam.’ The
enlarged text is used throughout a wide
range of magazines that include interviews,
its used to draw the reader in and I chose
these two quotes as I feel it will make the
reader want to read the whole interview to
understand the quotes further. The page
numbers and website links on the bottom
of the page are used to remind the reader
of the magazine and it’s other details for
them to look up, widening the media used
for the magazine, I followed this
convention to make my magazine look
more like a selling magazine.
3. How does your media product
represent particular social groups?
I feel the imagery and different
fonts used in the headline
attract my chosen social group
of 18-25 year olds. The font
connotes youthfulness and
represents the interviewee as
alternative; the music genre I
am choosing to follow. The
images used show the model as
not caring and being upfront, I
feel that many young adults feel
this way towards their own lives
and I think this choice in images
would benefit the reader to
allow them to feel a
relationship between themself
and the artist.
