Draft product commentary

.

The main image complements the masthead "nOstalgia" which means looking back to a period in the past as to what the model is doing in the picture. The masthead is unconventional as it has two different font sizes making the audience question why it is like that, making them fascinated in the magazine. Moreover, the main image is quite blurry so the audience cant see the face of the model clearly so they quiz themselves on how they this image could be clearer and why they do not get to see the model's full face.

.

The text of the context page is slightly unreadable as the text color is similar to the background's color, so its harder for the audience to read and understand the text. The image used is set in a close up to capture the facial expression of the model, through the costume worn by the model the magazine is unconventional as Grime music artists are usually dressed with a bit more 'swag' e.g. They would wear less clothing to show of their masculine body, they would wear more 'hood like' clothing such as - baseball caps (either sideways or backwards), wearing tracksuit bottoms and jeans whilst wearing drop downs (jeans a bit lower than expected). Whereas my model is formally dressed  showing less skin which presents his formality. Lastly, there is only one image for my contents page where as in most magazines there are more images usually from different pages in the magazine.

The background is unconventional because it does not enhance the genre (grime). The background image should be electrifying and exciting. In addition, to this the background decreases the reader's ability to read the text easily and clearly. The font type, size and color do not illustrate the genre of the magazine because its not as bold and dull as most Grime magazines
