2. In what ways does your media product use,
develop or challenge forms and conventions
of real media products?
• I used a colour scheme of red, black and white which is seen in
many magazines of the same genre as mine. This is a
stereotypical colour scheme of “rock” magazines and help
distinguish it from, other styles of magazine.
• The font of my masthead also mimics that of the like of Kerrang
and Big Cheese as it is large and “broken”. This adds to the
rocky feel.
• My main image on the cover has also partially covered the
masthead and this is again imitating other magazines.
3. • The image on my front cover is a play fight, which kerrang
and other rock magazines commonly do.
• The main cover line also crosses over the middle of my
main image. This is a convention used in a lot of
magazines.
• The banner on my front cover imitates that on many rock
magazines.
4. •The written style in my magazine also mirrors that of
other magazines; it is informal and chatty. This tends to
appeal to the audience as they are approximately 20 years
of age.
