Real Coventions of Media texts

AS Coursework

As my magazine was based around the Hip Hop genre, I researched into Hip Hop artist to see what the majority of them have in common for example, the way they dress. I noticed that all Hip Hop artist had lots of tattoos, and wore baggy jeans with a vest. This was a convention that i wanted to use to ensure that my artist looked as if he was a real artist.

POST MODERN?

Can this be considered postmodern, due to the way, the guitar is played??

'Somebody That I Used to Know' by Walk off the Earth... ENJOY!!

Digital Technology AS!

One of the main software i used was Adobe Photoshop, which allowed me to manipulate the pictures that I had took using my still camera. Using Photoshop gave me the chance to use various tools such as magnetci tool, which allowed me to cut around my image accuraetly, so that i could change my background to fit my genre, which was Hip Hop.
To find an appropriate font to fit the look im trying to create, i used the website www.myfont.com as it offered thousands of different ofnts to fit individual needs. Being able to add layers, really helped create a proffsional loos, because on real magazines, texts and images are always layered over eachother. So being able to this also helped create a realistic finish.
