1. Question 1:In what ways does your
media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real
media products?
While creating my final product I have tried to follow the stereotypical conventions of
a typical teen pop magazine.
I looked at other teen pop
magazines such as ‚“top of the
pops“ and looked at the way they
presented the masthead , font and
colour. They were bright eye
catching colours with childlike font
so i tried take inspiration from this
for my final product by having a
simple text similar to the top of the
pops magazine and also having a
feminine lilac colour for my
masthead.
Throughout my written article I have used pull quotes as
way to grasp my audience’s attention and intrigue them
more into the article. It is written a very light hearted and
chatty tone to make it more suitable and relatable for my
young teen target audience. This is what you would
typically expect to find in a teen pop magazine. I took
ideas from my product research to find a suitable simple
font that would be easy to read and follow for my young
teen target audience.

2. I have tried to follow the typical design layout of a teen magazine so it’s more
appropriate and attracting to my target audience. I wanted my layout to be simple so
the pages weren’t too cluttered to create an easy reader for my audience and also so
it didn’t put them off with too much information
I have followed the conventions of this ‘top of the pops’ magazine taking in to
account the layout and style and tried to recreate this in my own way.
