My redo of questions.

1. First question out of seven using PowerPoint

2. What is conventions?
A convention in media can be defined as a unique, and
different style of media text. Every different branded
magazine has their own style of text and how their
present it to the audience. These are important as It
really emphasis the unique format and content of the
magazine.
As seen here, the media
conventions is within the text
‘contents’, as its re-shaped to
make the reader interested
within the writing.

3. Use of media conventions on
my front cover
The conventions I used in my magazine were based upon
the typical conventions, VIBE magazine use in their
magazine. For instance my magazine media text follows,
the structure of my chosen model’s face, just like VIBE
magazine.
Furthermore another convention is the way the texts is
laid out. For example the ‘exclusive hit album’ text is
placed inside a block colored background. I used this to
really make the text stand out.
Lastly another convention I used is the barcode and QR
code. This is a key feature on any magazine a it displays
the price and further details. I used the same convention
on my magazine for further realism.

4. Double spread
page
As seen here I used the convention of typing
in different layout forms. I used this method
in my double page spread, where on the
other hand VIBE uses this typeface on the
contents page. This convention really
attracts the reader to read on.
Here I used the convention of presenting a
large image of the Hip-hop/RnB artists in the
middle of the page. I specifically made the
image overlap between the two pages, this
convention really emphasizes the message
the magazine gives to the reader. As seen
here VIBE uses the same conventi0n for their
double page spread.

5. Contents page
For contents page I used the contention of
typing the text in a different layout. In
comparison to the convention vibe used, I
differed mine by making two letters in drop
down which shows creativity. This allows the
reader to stay interested.
Secondly I used a structured layout of what is
expected within the magazine. I used the
convention of typing numbers next to the
texts. I used bright and bold colours just as
the convention vibe uses. This makes it
visually clear for the readers to read.

6. Re doing of my magazine
Although I have kept the similar conventions in my magazine as
previously seen, I have changed some conventions in order to make
my magazine stand out.
I have re done my contents page and front cover, and just made minor
adjustments to my double page spread.

7. Redo – Front cover
VIBEMy magazine
As seen here, I have kept the convention/style of
how the text is laid out which is to ensure it
sticks out to the reader. I done this by making
the top line ‘25’ bright red and bigger, then
keeping the text below smaller. This is to
emphasis it to the reader.
Moreover I have also kept the convention of
barcode the same, as all commercial magazine
maintain this.

8. Redo – Contents page
VIBEMy magazine
In my contents page I have kept the style of text
the same by typing the letters in a unique
formation. This formation makes it clear to the
readers eye.
Once again seen here, the formation of text,
numbers and bold typefaces remains the same as
VIBE.

9. Redo – Minor changes to double
page spread
VIBEMy magazine
As seen above I have simply enlarged my main picture, and moved it to one side of the
page. I done this with the purpose of making it look more like a Hip-Hop magazine like
VIBE. As they have a enlarged picture on one side of the page.
