Dear Moderator,
This is my blog that I have created for my Media work. I have made a music magazine for the rock genre.
Below you will find my Music Magazine, the evaluation questions for it, all of my research and planning, my college magazine and all of the tasks before I started creating it.
At the front of my blog is my finished magazine, it then goes to the evaluation, then the research and planning, then my college magazine.
Hope you enjoy looking at them!
Have a nice day :D

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

Use
The only thing that I really think I have used on my magazine that I have took from another magazine is the first letter of the first paragraph is bigger than the rest of the text.  It makes is clear to the readers where to start reading from, because it stands out from the rest of the text. Also I think it just looks a good way to start of the text.
Develop
Behind the title of the story on the page I have added a brush effect to make the title and text stand out from the rest.  The backing on the Kerrang double page spread has more of a paint can spill to it, with the ends spilling and dripping off the main bit of it.  I have gone for more of a brush effect.  I tried it with the same effect as the one on Kerrang but I think that it didn't look right for my double page spread. 
I have changed the quote out of the text for the story. I thought that it was a cool thing to have on the page, but I didn't like the positioning and the style of the text that it was done in. So I changed to the placing to somewhere that I need to fill some empty space.  I completely changed the style of the font to something that stands out more than the way Kerrang style. 
I have also took the layout of the Kerrang magazine.  I have one side set up with the main image and then the other with the main story.  This works well because there is a decent sized story and also something to look at. 
Challenge
I have took the idea of having something in the top corner to say what is on this page.  I have got in on a different page with a completely different style and text in it.
The image is also completely different to what is on the Kerrang page. They have a group shot all doing different things, where as on my magazine it is just one person on his own.
