Evaluation Question 2
My main product and my ancillary task of my poster and
website work together effectively and the reason for this is because I have
tried to stick to as many conventions for a newspaper as possible.
One thing that I have thought a lot on was the colouring for my product and have even changed the colouring of my product to make the whole of my product more effective. The running colour palette for my product is blue, white and black and I think because of this colour scheme I have been able to make a collection of products that work together to form one successful product.
Already in the media industry newspapers are not just a
stand alone product any more as they also have a products which promote the
newspaper and also allow a wider range of people to read the newspaper for
example they have the newspaper which the locals can get, they have the poster
to advertise the local newspaper product and then they have the website to help
make the product more viral and more known to people who don’t just live in the
area.
My main task, the front cover and the second page of a newspaper
needed to work together well as they would be seen one after another and so I
have used the same font, colour palette and simple layout for each. The
products also work together effectively in the sense that all of my products,
except the poster as that doesn’t have any articles on it, have the same
articles and the same headings to the articles which makes my product
consistent throughout.
For my poster I have used fun bright colours and have used
this throughout my products an example of this would be for the front cover of
my newspaper I have put ‘YOUR POSITIVE PAPER’, underneath the masthead and I
have chosen the same colours as the poster and I have also used this technique
of the multiple colours on my website.
Another element which makes my products work together
successfully is the fact that the theme of my newspaper products is that it is
a happy newspaper and even the slogan illustrates that ‘your positive paper’
and because of this all my products are combined together as all of the content
is about happy news.
Further more all my products have been promoted effectively
as all my products promote one another in some way for example the poster has
the website details on the bottom of it, the front of the newspaper has a big
advertisement for the website, the second page also has a link for the website
at the top of the page and the website itself is promoting the newspaper.
Comparison between a real magazine and my own
(Left real - Right mine)
After looking through my products I can say that I have
created a professional product that would not stand out if put along side
professional products as being a media students work as I feel I have followed
conventions correctly and in doing so have linked my products together to
create a successful product.
