Evaluation: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Above is a print screen of some frames taken from the parts of my magazine. I have included a range of elements including images and text. I have used these elements to create a bold design throughout the magazine and also to create a professional look. I often added many effects to both images and text eg. black and white effects and drop shadow effects. These ensured a better quality image or more bold text. I created casual looks by minimalistic fashion as well as no props. This meant that the images were simple, but looked effective. The black and white image effects on all of my images created an urban look to the magazine, which related to the Indie Rock music genre. I felt that this was clear in all of my pages. The written content in throughout my magazine was quite minimal, however, on my double page spread, I tried to create a relaxed interview with a chatty approach. 

I felt that I have created a unique music magazine for a gap in the Indie Rock market. The magazine looks similar to ones currently on market, however does create a unique layout.
