Evaluation Question 1
Conventions of real products
To answer this question I will compare my products to real media products in attempt to see if they follow the conventions of real institution practice. At the beginning of my research I did a conventions analysis on indie rock magazines, I have reposted them in this presentation so compare to a conventions analysis of my products.

Overall ComparisonSimilarities
• Colour Splash continuity• Most aspects/conventions
recreated in the products• A continued ‘look’
thoughout the magazine, i.e. ‘clean’ or ‘crowded’
• Same placement of Masthead
Differences
• Missed the date on the contents page
• Use of a secondary image on the double page spread
• I feel like I could’ve used an artists index on my contents page as it doesn’t have very many article on it to cover 60+ pages of magazine
