2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge
forms and conventions of media products?
Like the red magazine I use one main image, with my model being shown from the
waist up, also known as a medium shot. I had the model looking straight down the
camera this causes direct address with the audience, I did this as it fits in with the
codes and conventions so I did not challenge them. Also like the red magazine I put
the mast head in the left hand corner I did this because it will be easily visible when
being displayed. As well as this I used a continuous colour scheme just like red does. I
did this to help create a brand. But unlike red I kept my cover lines minimal because I
did not want to bring away too much attention from the picture. I also used the same
font ‘impact’ throughout this kept in with the theme of my magazine, this kept in with
the codes and conventions. I included the date, issue number and bar code these are
all essentials for a magazine so I had to follow convention is this way. I used puffs
which red didn’t, they are challenging conventions. They stand out, this will make my
magazine more appealing.

3. Contents title
Main images.
Page reference
Colour scheme.

4. In what ways does your media product use, develop or

Like the Marie Clare magazine I used rule of thirds this is the conventional
way to set out a magazine contents page so I stuck to convention. Again I
used the same font ‘impact’ so it would fit in with my house style. I used
appropriate images that related to my page references. I used the same
colour scheme on the contents page (just as Marie Clare does) this makes it
look neater and is useful for branding. To make my writing stand out I used a
bold black colour for my page references. As well as this is used a background
picture, this includes a medium shot of my model, this easily shows that my
cover page and my contents page are linked, because they show the same
model.
