1) In what ways does your media product

use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of a real

media product?

The masthead

When researching the masthead I found that many of them were short

such as Q and MNE music magazines. So I decided to use the same tequinique. However I have

developed my masthead to match the genre of my magazine as well as

adding a byline.

The colour scheme

The general rules when creating a music magazine is to use a 3 colour, colour which I did for the front cover, contence page as well as the headline and back ground on the DPS. However when writing my gig review for the DPS I chose to use a black

font as the magazine I was using (NME) did this.

Style of photography

The main image on the front cover and all the images on the DPS are gig photos. This is a little different many other music magazines as they are not profianal, clear or lit correctly however I have had to challenge to this as I

really wanted a celebrity icon with in the gonra on the cover. As well as someone how

relates to the age of the audience that would read my magazine. However I have tried to

make the photos look as good as possible by editing them in both paint shop pro as well as

the editing stage on instagram.

Fonts

I have used this font through out my magazine for a sences on continuity.

Hover the size of my text has changed of different pages and for different

things. For example of I have developed the font for the head line on my DPs to make it bold and stand out more. Also

the colour of my font represents that of my clour scheme.
