This is the final version of the front cover of my school magazine. As you can see I have used a location and model that reflects on the issues theme (winter). The reason for choosing this features is due to the fact it conventionally reflects the conventions of real media products. Another feature that reflects on the theme is the 'house style' in terms of colours used. The red reflects on 'christmas' a festive holiday during the winter season and white reflecting on snow, an iconic feature of winter.
Lures stand out to help attract the attention of the audience. This element is conventional of magazines in general. As well as the conventional lure a 'brief' contents lure is provided in the bottom left corner of the front cover. This feature is conventional of a school magazine hence the reason for the transfer of this element.
This is the final version of the contents page of my school magazine. As you can see I have kept a consistent house style throughout the magazine. This aspect is conventional of magazines in general. Down the left of the page the contents are aligned. Each article is clearly labelled with a number and title, these features are in a large font to help make them stand out. I have used two images that advertise certain 'articles'. These are conventional aspects from magazines in general that I have chosen to transfer into this product. The articles act as lures and help the articles to stand out.
Conventional of a school magazine is the use of a school 'logo'. This is a feature that i have used in this product as shown to the left. A final conventional feature that I have chosen is the use of 'editors notes'. This is a feature i have come across in various magazines, so I felt that including this conventional aspect would help to make the product close in comparison to a real media product.
A feature that i wish I could change would be not using columns to layout the contents page. This would help the page to conventionally reflect on real media products.
