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.
