The document discusses how a student's magazine project for a class uses conventions of real music magazines. It includes listings of well-known indie/alternative artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Black Keys. The contents page also features fictional bands and references standard magazine sections and features such as a subscription offer, weekly reviews, and brief article descriptions accompanying images. The student aims to emulate real music magazines in their magazine's form and structure.

1. Magazine evaluation –
Question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms
and conventions of real media products?

2. The picture to the right displays a list of different artists from the genre of
Indie/Alternative. As I mentioned, a magazine needs to have names of
bands/artists that are famous within that genre. Red Hot Chili Peppers and
The Black Keys are both bands which are famous throughout the
community of Indie/Alternative rock.

3. The fictional band “Missing Cat” get a mention in the
contents page of my magazine.
Roode Pelikaan and The Jacobeans both get mentions in the contents page.

5. My contents page also hits the
conventions of a real music
magazine, as I stick to keeping
some of the most noticeable
features that they include.
These features include:
• A subscription deal.
• A weekly review.
• Featured, News and Regulars
sections.
• Small and brief descriptions of
the an article relating to a
picture.
