EVALUATION OF MY FUNK MAGAZINE FRONT COVER

1

Image used for front page and why

I choose to use this image for my front cover specifically because it looked directly at the camera. Which helped to create some sort of synthetic personality with the audience. (a fake relationship) this helps both the primary and secondary audience to feel as though the character in the image is staring at them.I also used this image due to the facial expression on the characters face. This “aggression” and intensity immediately grabs a potential readers attention. This image also includes a covert advert (the stereo player) which is being advertised on the contents page. This allowed me to hint or connote it to the audience.

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

• Although I would have liked my final product to challenge more codes and conventions; it does not; to an extent. This is because although I may have used two images (merged together) rather than one, I have also placed image in front of text. These qualities make my front cover less conventional.

Images in front of text

Two similar images merged into one.
