How my media product uses and develops real conventions
1. In what ways does your media
product use, develop or
challenge forms and
conventions of real media
products?
2. Masthead
Through my various research and analysis, I discovered that red was the colour
more prominently used for a masthead. I didn’t decide to challenge or develop
this idea as it is seen to be very successful as it address’s the audience through
the bright colouring.
They are not stretched across the entirety of the page but are situated within
the corner. Which allows the colour to stand out and attract any readers
attention.
I incorporated the colour within my masthead but decided to develop the font.
I chose a block font. I chose this as I believe that it seems to address the reader
more personally, as most listeners will typically be living within an urban area.
3. Main image
I incorporated the typical style of image that is
seen within this genre of music magazine. I used a
variety of different images within my product. I
edited the image on my front cover to darken the
artist. Making him look mysterious and draw the
reader in.
Through my research I found that the images used
on actual products were made to look strong and
mysterious.
I incorporated this through the pose with crossed
arms.
He is shown to be mysterious through his hooded
jumper and darkened edit.
4. Cover Lines
I again used the main conventions within my cover lines from
actual productions, I used the colour scheme of red for the
heading of the cover line to draw the readers attention.
Although I did develop the main convention of the use of just a
red colour within the font. I developed the idea and
incorporated the colour of white within the font. I believe that
this will be more effective as the colours contrast very well and
are very eye catching to any potential reader.
Further more I made my cover line's short and snappy, as I do
not intend to bore any reader who wants to gain information
about the magazine.
5. Text on double page spread
I used the typical conventions of the text on my double page spread, I
incorporated a variety of different colours within the text to show
questions from the interviewer and the artists replies. I developed the
typical conventions of text within a actual magazine double page
spread as I made the text mould around the picture of the artist.
Making the artist again stand out from the page. The colours that I
used within my text are the colours that I used within my colour
palette, (red, white and black). Which are frequent through all my
productions.
6. Colour scheme
As you can see from my productions, the
colour scheme that I used is red white and
black, this is typical for a magazine for this
music genre as it seems to jump straight out
of the page within a violent nature, which
some could interpret this genre of music to be
quite violent. I intended the red to give a
connotation of danger or compassion,
showing how an artist enjoys the music. The
black was intended to give a mysterious
viewpoint on the artist and the music genre
and finally the white is meant to give a
symbol of purity, as the artist music is based
on events that happen in their everyday life.
7. Strapline/Slogan
I used the typical conventions of a strapline for the music genre, as it is
situated at the top of the page underneath the masthead. Making it easy to
see and memorable for any follower of the magazine. I developed my strapline
as I made the writing look worn and urban, which links with where the genre
of music that my magazine is based on. Plus where this genre of music
originated from. (London).
