2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? My magazine front cover uses the conventions of real media products including the date of issue, masthead, splash, issue number, price, barcode, pug, website address, images and quotes. These are all needed to give information to the reader and make the reader familiar with the magazine. I think these conventional features are needed on every magazine so that it sells and is recognised as a professional product. The colours used throughout my magazine were originally very conventional as I used a standard black and white colour scheme. I then decided this colour scheme was too dull and maybe too conventional, so I needed another colour to make the magazine stand out more. I choose purple this then made the magazine visually more appealing and made the magazine stand out more. I have also used a glow around the main writing I thought this then made the magazine more eye-catching and is very conventional. Inspiration
