In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions

of real media products? • I used a colour scheme of red, black and white which is seen in

many magazines of the same genre as mine. This is a stereotypical colour scheme of “rock” magazines and help distinguish it from, other styles of magazine.

• The font of my masthead also mimics that of the like of Kerrang and Big Cheese as it is large and “broken”. This adds to the rocky feel.

• My main image on the cover has also partially covered the masthead and this is again imitating other magazines.

• The image on my front cover is a play fight, which kerrang and other rock magazines commonly do.

• The main cover line also crosses over the middle of my main image. This is a convention used in a lot of magazines.

• The banner on my front cover imitates that on many rock magazines.

•The written style in my magazine also mirrors that of other magazines; it is informal and chatty. This tends to appeal to the audience as they are approximately 20 years of age.
