2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? The genre that I chose to follow for my music magazine was ‘acoustic.’ Here is a magazine that follows the same sort of style to my magazine and the typical conventions of a music magazine. A big and bold masthead that stands out to the reader. Image of the featured artist on the front Text that shows that is included in the magazine A set color scheme that the photograph blends with
5. Subheadings of what is included inside the magazine. This interests the reader to see what else they will be reading if they buy the magazine. Also the artists on the front are current and in the charts so this will grab the readers attention.

7. Contents Page For my research I looked at different magazines and their pages to look at the conventions of contents pages and spreads like I did with the front cover (on previous slides) Here is an example; A bold title showing that it is the contents An image of the featured artist, usually the biggest image on the page Subheadings that inform which features are on which page Images of other artists that are included in the magazine

9. Also I have included an editors note to make the magazine personal to the reader, as if someone is talking to them about the magazine that they are about to read.

11. This is my two page spread; As you can see I have used a big and bold title to instantly inform the reader of who the article is about I have included this cut out image of his guitar to show the type of music he creates and the instrument he plays. This gives the reader some background information before they have even read the article. I have included a quote from the article in a bigger font and a bright color to stand out to the audience like on the example. I have set out my text in these columns to create order and an easy read for the target audience I have used this cut out image of Alex to keep the theme of the photographs that run throughout
