Evaluation cover magazine

When making my cover magazine I made sure that I used the conventions of many classic cover magazines, of which I have been researching. Such as, having a logo for my cover magazine, this is situated in the top left hand corner. This is very typical of any cover magazine. However I have used puffs around the front page to tell the reader what’s included in my magazine. The barcode I have included in place in the established right hand corner.  Here is my finishing product. My cover narrates to the magazines that I have been learning because it has ordinary conventions. 

Although it has a logo that most magazines have. This helps the audiences to recognize the cover magazines on the information stands. When a cover magazine has become really capable of being recognized, the plan could change by having the main images partly cover the logo. There were a few magazines that I analysed which had this, although there were some that didn’t and predictably they were the ones that most people in my class had not come across before.

My cover magazine hasn’t got this as it is supposed to be a new classic cover magazine, so defying recognition. My cover magazine also consists of the ordinary conventions which give it the sense of practicality that I was hoping. When creating a cover magazine you want to make it as real as possible and by doing this I believe that I have skilled that. I experiential a lot of different conventions in tenure of design, images and style of address whereas analysing the cover magazines for my research. I establish that most mastheads are situated at the top of the page starting in the left hand corner.

This is the established and used the audience to make acquainted about themselves as they with the logo and typeface which helps them to indentify the cover magazine by the presentation and not the reproduction. The most cover magazines use straight style of attends to make the audience feel as if they are involved in this cover magazine and reason them to be haggard in. With the major themes looking directly out at the reader and the audience consequently undergo’s that there is something that they need to know, some details to find out.

However there are few cover magazines that I choose to have the theme looking away from the audience, this is known as indirect style of attend to. This is used to create the reader want to know more about this theme, reasoning them to read on. Although according to my research, indirect style of attend to is not as well-liked as straight, it is still as useful.

The magazine that I felt I would like to purchase were magazines such as: NME etc…  So I decided to have a similar magazine to these. Following the clear conventions of music magazines, I have made many editorial decisions, such as the style of attend to of my themes, the colour theme, and the layout etc… The colours are neutral to encourage each gender to buy the magazine; this also makes the reader know that it is not directed at one specific gender. I used direct mode of address which would cause the reader to feel as though they are involved in the magazine contents. By putting all of these conventions together I have created a cover magazine which I could be proud of.
