EVALUATION OF SCHOOL MAGAZINE
FRONT COVER – SIMILARITIES TO CODES AND
CONVENTIONS
 The front cover I created is similar to real media
 products in terms of codes and conventions. Firstly the
 layout is the same; the title, date and positioning
 statement are at the top, it contains a mid shot of a
 posed person using direct address and this image is
 surrounded by sub lines and text. Also similar to a
 magazine the price, date, issue number, barcode and
 price are all pictured bottom right, the barcode is vertical
 which is similar to real life magazines as it allows more
 room for images and text. Real life magazines also
 follow rules such as using buzzwords, I included one in
 my front cover to create a more realistic look. I followed
 the colour scheme convention, (3-4 colours, generally
 primary), and I used blue, yellow and red, as I noticed
 red is used a lot on magazine covers.
FRONT COVER – CHALLENGED FORMS AND
CONVENTIONS

   In terms of the codes and conventions of a magazine
 front cover I followed the majority of them, however I
 broke a few conventions. I didn‟t follow the convention of
 having a unique font on my title that is different than
 other text aspects. I realise this is quite an important
 convention as it creates a brand identity, however I tried
 to keep the text simple. The title I created also slightly
 covers the facial aspect of the main picture and the
 person pictured is not a “well known” person, which
 would be used in a music magazine. The actual stories I
 created are also not very ambiguous e.g. “A-levels and
 GCSE‟s”, this may not attract the reader to that
 particular story.
FRONT COVER – CHANGED ASPECTS FROM
PLAN

  We produced the finished product on Photoshop, which
 meant we had to learn how to use this new form of
 media and a few things on my original plan had to be
 changed e.g. the clocks in each of the T‟s in the title
 „Timetable‟. I had originally done this to create a unique
 look for the title like on real magazines, which would be
 repeated on the contents page. The photograph I took
 for the main image also had to fit to the size of the
 canvas, however I couldn‟t fill all the canvas without
 there being room for text without it completely
 overlapping the facial aspect of the image, this is
 different to the codes and conventions of real life
 magazines as their main image fills the entire
 background of the cover.
