My media product challenges some conventions of rock magazines while also using and developing others. It challenges conventions like using a black and white cover photo instead of color and featuring a low angle shot of a musician instead of a standard medium shot. However, it also uses conventions like putting a famous musician on the cover to attract fans, including pull quotes in articles, and having a contents page with boxed summaries of each story. The black and white cover photo is meant to give the magazine a harder look fitting for rock. Red is used throughout for its rock-related connotations of danger and to attract attention. Overall, the media product both challenges and builds on standard rock magazine formats and styles.
