3. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of media products?
*Key: Red Text
are key terms.
Use of Conventions:
In my magazine, I have a very large masthead just like the
GLAMOUR does, this gives a outline of the genre of the
magazine, alerting potential readers on what its about, and its
bold, has bright colours and has a unique font, so that if
anybody who has read it previously, will remember it and may
want to read it again. In my texts, “You’re” is used a lot for
direct address, similar to how the Glamour magazines model
looks directly at the camera. This is used to show the reader the
magazine is speaking directly to them, engaging them. My front
cover’s main image is of 2 students looking towards the 6th
form, this is clearly aimed to relate to my Target audience
which are students, showing them the genre of the magazine is
a student magazine, which may help the audience gain a sense
to read it.

9. How have I developed the codes and conventions?
*Key: Red Text
are key terms.
Use of Conventions:
I added cover lines to the content page to give
the readers a heads up on what their about to
read. I threw in some quotes from students to
make the magazine appeal to my TA (students).
One the images I use has 2 of the models
staring towards the camera which is direct
address, this engages the reader and helps to
let them know this is for them, as well as the
line “Lets get started” does too. The masthead
is in clear font to catch the attention of the
reader.
