Q1. In what ways does your media product use, develop

or challenge forms and conventions of real media

products?

There are many conventions of magazines which are used in my front cover, contents and double page spread – these being a mast head, coverlines, puffs, and consistent colour schemes throughout. These conventions are used to grab the attention of the audience and make them want to purchase my music magazine. My magazine used conventions from magazines such as ‘NME’, with its logo placed at the top left of the front cover as well as its regular colour scheme and ‘MOJO’, which uses text arranged around the body of the image it is focused on in its contents. Both magazines are conventionally alternative and so by using these two magazines as inspiration for my own would more likely appeal to my audience who may also read these two magazines.
