Evaluation

My front cover follows the basic conventions of a magazine as my school magazine includes a logo next to my masthead, masthead at the top of the page and used cover and puff lines. However, i have not conformed to the conventions of a school magazine as usually the logo is located at the left of the masthead, but I have put it to the right of the masthead. I have also challenged the conventions of a magazine as normally the image takes up the whole page, but on my magazine I have left space around the image, to use for the cover and puff lines. My contents page has developed the basics of conventions of a magazine as I have made the contents page 50% images and 50% text. Also, I have used anchored text along the bottom of the page with the images, which follows the basic conventions of a contents page. Another thing I challenged was I used serif text, when normally sans serif text would be used. Also, I did not part my contents page into sections. When I create my music magazine I will ensure I follow the conventions of  a magazine as this will develop my magazine and will make it more attractive and look better.

My image on my front cover shows a mixture of boys and girls which presents a close, mixed community to show welcoming environment. The students have been represented as they are smartly dressed in business wear and chislehurst ties to present the school. The students are smiling and have confident body language. 

Since my media product of the school magazine, the distributor would have to be preferably small publisher as this product is only aimed at parents, and would only be created by teachers or students and be distributed to only the school. Considering my magazine would only be sold at a low price it would not be necessary to be published by a popular, big distributor as it would not be up to the standards of professionals.
