Finished school magazine front cover and contents page.



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

I tried to follow the codes and conventions of a typical school magazine and have used 'Top Terrace' as direct inspiration for my contents page as I tried to fill the page with colour and images but instead of starting off the front page with writing about the school I used headlines to draw the attension. For the school front page, I kept it quite simple following the conventions of the magazine not looking too proffessional.
For my contents page I followed the normal conventions of a contents page with the followed through colour scheme, pictures and listing the content.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

I have learnt how to use Photoshop to manipulate images and put together a magazine. I have also learnt how to use manual focus on the cameras to put things I want to have in focus in focus aswell as how to take good pictures.
