In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge
forms and conventions of real media products?

maximises this.

and placed them above
and below to give it a clean
look and encourage people
to buy it as it’s a collectable
copy.

I have used white writing to
draw attention ton this section
as it gives the reader an idea of
what’s inside the magazine. I
have also rotated a word to
create a visual interest point.

will draw the attentions of
fans who may want to read
up on their favourite artist.

found, is quite a popular
convention
