Older Version
Newest Version
I have went for a completely different look for the front cover of my music magazine.
The sub-images I Firstly, I have used a different layout, and tried to use a similar look to tat of 'NME'. I have decided that the NME music magazine is very modern and the layout is effective as it is appealing. I realised, after doing new research for current music magazines, that the aim I was trying to achieve was similar to the NME magazine.
The title 'Epic Music' was very unrealistic with my old magazine, and although it contained bright colours to appeal the reader', feedback from group members helped me realise that, a darker more simpler title would actually be more appealing. I have used in the top right of the music magazine are very modern. My old music magazine shows images on the left-hand-side that weren't particularly appealing to the teenage audience. Having less images, with a simpler caption was also more appealing.
Using a different colour at the bottom of my new product, made the story I came up with stand out. I used this purposely for a variety of colours but also to have an impact on the reader. The blue background was used to contrast the main image. I wanted the main image to be stretched and be the first convention to stand out to my audience. With my older version, it was clear that my main image was too compact and needed to enlarged to create more realism.
My masthead is one of the conventions of my media product I am most happy with. The change is very effective, in the fact that it is more simple, and also most importantly easier to read. I realised previously to my newer version, that my masthead was long and didn't attract the reader enough. The feedback from my teacher as well as my classmates, give me the idea that I needed to have a masthead which is short, easy to read, and stood out. This meant I had to use a contrasting colour to that of my background image, something I feel I have achieved.
The barcode, price and date are also something I feel have improved. I am happy that I realised this didn't need to be the main convention the reader had to see, when in fact the teenage audience want to know the price after analysing my media product.
Overall, I am a lot happier with my new media product. I think there is a vast improvement in the layout, the conventions used, but most importantly the colours I have used.
