Evaluation - Question 1

In what ways does your product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

I believe that in some ways my product has similarities, for example all the information is on the left hand side, both of products have numbers and names on them which are a larger font than the rest of the information, to grab the readers attention. Mine is different because I have a full body shot for my front cover, whereas this photo is a close-up, but I believe that any angle on a front cover looks suitable, as long as you have the right kind of pose and person to pose for the photo. Also both the titles are very bold and the main focus of the whole magazine. If I had some more time to improve my front cover, I would put more information on the front of it, filling the gaps in the front cover that I have left, and also take more photos.
