In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of media products?For my main image I used the same sort of size of image and tried to get the same stance that Ice Cube had on The Source magazine. I then had the same layout for my masthead at the top of the magazine, but instead of my models head being over the text I slightly faded the text and had the image behind the text. Then with the cover lines I placed them to the left of my cover as it is conventional and stands out with how the picture fits onto the page. I also had a stroke behind my text so that it would stand out more considering it was in the middle of the image. I also copied the barcode size and date/price text size so that they weren't too visible just like in The Source magazine.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of media products?For my contents page I decided to keep the same colour scheme and font for my masthead I did this because it stands out over everything else on the page so the audience know what page theyre reading straight away. I then put the slogan and date above and below the masthead as I thought they were important bits of text that needed to also stand out. The next bits of text were my page numbers/descriptions and my editorial, for these I wanted them to stand out but without making them too big, thats why I put a background box behind the text and made the text the opposite colour (white and black).On my contents page I used 5 different images, 4 of artists that were included in the magazine and one of myself to show the reader who wrote the editorial. At the bottom of the page I added Social networking links, I did this to tell the reader that there are other places that they can read the magazine and find information about magazine releases.
