By deconstructing all of these pieces, I have learned what codes and conventions should be included in regional magazines as some are different to national magazines. From my AS work I was only familiar with the codes and conventions of a magazine, but now in addition, I have to construct a website with two hyperlinked pages and a billboard. I wasn't confident with what should be included in these pieces of work so by deconstructing different nations and regional pieces, I have seen what I need to include in order for it to look professional.
Codes and conventions are essential in order to create a valid magazine, billboard and website. And by deconstructing these, you can see the different areas where conventions should be situated and how the genre affects your codes and conventions. For example, a national culture magazine tends to cost a few pounds, where as a regional culture magazine are likely to be free such as VIBE so any can get access to it as they are located around the city centre. However, some regional magazines can cost a few pounds such as NorthEast Life which tends to have more classical content in it. So it al depends on the magazine you are creating.
After these deconstruction, I have become more confident in creating my work because I now know what to include and what not to include and the differences between national and regional magazines/billboards/websites.
