Evaluation Question 1-In what ways does your magazine use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?


I will be talking about how I used, developed and challenged different aspects of my magazine and how it compares to a similar magazine.

Use
The first thing that I used that is the same is the text that has been placed behind the models head, the reason that I have done this is because it makes the model stand out more and make them look more important. Another thing that I have used the same as the other magazine is the main piece of text which is the name, like 'Scott Storch' or 'Chris Brown' for example I have used bigger text and used white text so it stands out on the background. One of the other things that I have used the same is the text down the right hand side of my magazine which is going on about all the different things that may be involved inside the magazine.

Develop
The places that it has started to look different is the colour of the main title of text, as mine is in orange as I think this colour goes better with the colour background I have used. Another thing is the clothes on my model look similar to what it does on the Vibe magazine cover but it is slightly different in which the model is wearing it. The thing where I have developed it more is where I have added a caption at the bottom of the page.

Challenge 
There are not many challenges but the few that I have used, one of them being the small '+' that I have put above some of the artists I have included on the right hand side. Another place in which I have challenged the other magazine is at the top of my magazine page where I have put more artists above my title as I seen this off a different magazine and I though it would look good on my magazine.
