Powerpoint Generic Conventions of Magazines

Powerpoint Covering Generic Conventions of Magazines

I created a powerpoint as you can see on the left, which includes; the types of genres,annotated front magazine covers, as well as a brief case study of a school magazine and a college magazine.

The purpose of this task was to simply find out about school magazines which allowed me to make sure i was sure of how to create a contents page as well as school magazine cover. I used this powerpoint when creating my school magazine cover and contents, as it helped to remind me of how a professional school magazine should look like. Therefore if I could not think of what to use as a puff or a lure i looked back to this powerpoint, which allowed me to make judgements about my own work which allowed me to improve my cover and contents page.

This task helped me, because i found out what information i could include in my own magazine cover, I paid attention towards the colours that were used in both magazines, as colour plays a major part in attracting the right audience. I also looked at what information was used for the puffs and lures as they are totally different from music magazines that I had looked at previously, therefore gave me an idea on how to present my cover and contents page. By looking at school magazine covers I looked at the images that were used and why they stood out, as well as who was on the front cover, as it is important that the image is sharp and relevant.
