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

forms and conventions of real music product?

 

Front CoverMy magazine uses and challenges forms and conventions of real media product in many ways one way is the strapline (above the masthead) tempts to buy the magazine and make it realistic for example, “win…” and Posters…” The masthead is displayed clearly in bold at the top.It also has a barcode like the magazine on the right to make it like a real media product that can be purchased.The additional cover lines also makes it realistic with the features and also the main cover line which is very bold and eye catching like that on the right.My magazine also has a specific colour scheme of black, red and white which follows throughout the magazine.

My contents page somewhat resembles other rock magazine content page and is realistic as it has pictures of other underground artists and also has page numbers and is easy to read unlike some other magazines. It is also straightforward as most content pages are. The masthead is also used in the content page in both so show identity of the magazine.

My double page spread is simple yet eye catching and realistic and not overloaded with unnecessary things. It is like a double page you’d see in quite a few magazines with a picture on the left and text on the right. Except mine is a little different with two pictures showing different emotions so it fits in and relates to the text and artist. Many rock magazines double page spread usually have a white background to the writing.
