Evaluation Question 5- My Products Challenges

My product, whilst maintaining a decent element of high standard must have distinctive features which allow it to vary from other magazines, otherwise they would be the same magazine, Therefore i have incorporated into my design many new, innovative features which allow my magazine to be Individual or much like the Genre my magazine covers "Indie".

In many ways i have drawn notable techniques from many magazines such as the average Masthead size and presentation from NME, the thin boarders from MOJO, Etc. However this was only as a basic skeleton of my magazines design to ensure it maintained a professional quality and strong foundation to make sure that my magazine has a strong sense of direction and could be built as quickly and effectively as possible.

A few general differences between my magazine and say the NME is that my magazine is capable of including as much information as NME whilst being more liberal with the space of the publication and thus allowing room for a more extensive description. Another difference is my use of font, my use of font is a genuinely unique font for a magazine, as on the front cover the font is VERY aesthetically based, to the point where the actual diction of the font is compromised in a way, however i feel that the attractiveness of the font makes up for its flaw of not being easily understood.
