Evaluation of my pre-production work:

my magazine develops the conventions of magazines by keeping the masthead at the top of the page, it also develops the conventions, particularly of college magazines by having a picture of their building on the cover and also includes pictures of people on the cover of the magazine. The use of a slogan is also a convention that i have developed in my magazine. However my magazine challenges the conventions of magazines by not including highlights of articles in my magazine on the cover and it doesn't have any seperate images on the cover, also my magazine challenges the conventions of magazines because it does not include a dateline as it is not going to be sold on a widespread basis and just sold within a niche audience.

My Magazine cover represents the school as a school that has plenty of history behind it and has great traditions that go back many years, a school that many great minds have come from that are well-known and respected people.

The media institution that would distribute my magazine would be the school, it would give it to the families of students and even past students and members of staff, to see what has happened in the school over the past year.

the audience for my magazine would be for parents of students, i have tried to attract my audience by keeping the magazine traditional and simple by using an old fashioned font, and keeping the cover and contents page formal rather to inkeep with an adults more intellectual approach to a magazine and including articles that parents would be interested in.

by making this Magazine front cover and contents page my knowledge of adobe photoshop has improved dramatically also the use of photography has been important in producing the product.
