Evaluation 1

I personally think I have been able to develop the conventions of a music magazine well, the music magazine that I have chosen to model my magazine from was the magazine 'vibe', I have chosen this magazine as it has a similar target audience and is the best fitted genre for what I am trying to produce.

 This is the title of my magazine, I have used bright and big writing like most music magazines do, to attract more people to view my magazine.

This is 'vibe' magazines title, my title is very similar to this one, I decided to keep it very similar as 'vibe' magazine is a popular magazine and has a big audience, meaning it must be working for this magazine to attract people.

 This is my magazine front cover compared to vibe magazines, as you can see I have tried to keep as many conventions as similar as possible.

Using a barcode on the front cover is a convention of a real media music magazine

Using this buzz word shows the audience that this will be the only magazine featuring what is advertised, making them feel like a part of the minority who have access to this article.

Picking a title

This is the title I have used for the front cover of my magazine, the effects I have used are drop shadow and bevel and emboss, I chose to use these effects as it makes the title stand out on the page, the title is also big and bright as to attract people to the magazine

This is the title of the style model I have used to model my work from, I have made my title very similar with the same colours and sizing

Font style

This is some font I have used on my front cover

Assessing my coursework

I think my work is is a level 3 piece, as it has many similarities with this other level 3 piece.

Warner bros distribute their films through many different ways, broadcast  pay cable, basic cable, satellite, pay-per-view, subscription video-on-demand, digital platforms. Warner Bros. International Television Distribution is also one of the world’s largest distributors of feature films, television programs and animation to the international television marketplace, Warner bros distribute many of their films digitally too, they use almost every way of distribution to make as much money as they can, for the audience this means they can watch movies from home now much easier as it is more accessible, however this could be negative for cinemas as less people will go there if they can watch the same things from home. A recent movie distributed by Warner bros is the movie 'Creed' which was nominated for an Oscar, Warner bros distributed this movie and on the opening weekend it grossed $29,632,823.  This movie was distributed firstly to cinemas and then onto DVD's.
