Evaluation Questions: 5 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

When creating my mag I wanted to make sure that I used parts and examples from other magazines to help my create the best magazine possible as well as being able to support and back my ideas up if people where to disagree.

The example to the right shows how I used different products to create and develop my own it is clear that there is a lot of editing that has been put in place to create the effect but without the editing it would of created a photo that could of been extremely stereotyped if I wasn't careful so that's why I am backing it up as I recreation from a photo-shoot done by the one and only Biffy Clyro.

The reason behind me recreating the specific photo is that I wanted to create a front cover photo that can catch my audience eye and by making a photo slightly provocative I believe if this was on a shelf next to a different magazine with the same genre that this magazine will be seen first due to the photo being bold. Another reason for using this photo is that I liked the way the Q magazine presented their magazine and therefore I wanted to do the same to give my mag a sophisticated look rather than a grimy look that some magazines give off.






Overall though my belief of this project was to take on board different magazine products and ideas and also criticism from my fellow peers to create the best product possible. I also believe in a challenge and challenging systems and software's just like Photoshop which helped me recreate this photo you see above but all together in order to create a modern sophisticated looking magazine that would be able to sell in stores as well as to be digitally downloaded by anyone willing to.
