This work is a continuation of my critical investigation I completed prior, which was an insight into what extent reality TV encourages consumerism. Here I intend to create my own article for Heat magazine, along with a front cover, to illustrate that reality TV is largely responsible for today's consumer culture.

Further codes and conventions
Heat sometimes uses print screens of tweets to support their story. This is an example of cross-media platform usage.
This will be successful to use in my article because it's base on behind-the-scenes of Reality TV. In my critical investigation I mentioned how celebrity endorsement, especially on social media, is largely responsible for encouraging consumerism. Therefore if I have a tweet from a TOWIE star saying 'My dress is from @Celebboutique' for example, or 'Get your extensions from @HairRehabLondon now', this will reinforce the message in my article in that Reality TV is constructed to maximise consumerism.
Finally, at the end of every article the writer's name is written in capitals. This is also in red, in keeping with the cover story's colour scheme. To be conventional to Heat, I will write my name at the end of my article.
