Media Evaluation - Transcript of Presentation

This is the transcript that I would have used in my presentation of my media evaluation. It includes topic such as target audience and conventions that may or may not have been used.

Final Product - Rock Magazine Double Page Spread

This double page spread is rather basic, which I feel makes it more accessible for the audience. The singular central image draws the attention and makes the spread less busy. The capital letters of one of the word 'DESTROYED' draws the attention of the reader and sets the mood of the rest of the article, although the past tense of it makes the article seem lighter that originally thought. The text of the article overlaps the image, which almost connects the two together, as well as indicating that the story is more important than the image on its own.

Final Product - Rock Magazine Contents Page

This contents page contains the conventions of a magazine - such as the editors note, magazine features showing which pages the articles are on as well as images which relate to the articles mentioned. However, the fact that the contents page is spread over two pages is not typical of a magazine. This sets the magazine apart from others of its kind.

Final Product - Rock Magazine Front Cover

This is the final front cover of my rock magazine. It stays true to the final mock up and contains all of the conventions which are typical of a magazine, as well as staying within the themes seen in other, well known rock magazines.

 

This is the presentation that I would have given on my magazine. It is an evaluation of sorts and goes with the transcript which has also been posted.

Final Product - Magazine Double Page Spread Analysis

I have created this spider diagram to help me with my final evaluation. I will use the points that I have given on the page, and I will explain them within the evaluation. The points that I have provided are similar to the double page spreads that can be found in other magazines of this genre, and have incorporated into my own.

Final Product - Magazine Contents Page Analysis
