On the cover of my fashion magazine, I will be attempting to create it based on the conventions of Teen Vogue. I will test many different camera angles and shots such as close up, low angle shots, a full body shot and other various ones. I have decided to do a full body shot because I believe that the model as well as the clothes that they are wearing are the most important thing to see due to it being a fashion magazine. This would allow the reader to see what kind of fashion magazine this would be.

Prelim Task: Evaluation

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

During my market research, I have noticed that most of the fashion magazines I came across have a very simple font for their title. There is also not too many colours clashing with the masthead.The masthead of the magazines are usually bold, in serif font and usually tend to use the colours pink or black in them. Occasionally, they would use red white and blue also to make the masthead stand out more.
