1. 1. In what ways does your media
product use, develop or challenge
forms and conventions of real
media products?
By Jordan Chesmin

2. • My project looks like a music magazine because it
replicates many other published/established music
magazines. It conforms to majority of music magazines, I
didn’t want to subvert from the usual rules because I
wanted mine to replicate other genre specific magazines.
• My magazine clearly fits into the music genre because of
the iconography I decided to use for it. I used one model
and simply asked them to give a very aggressive look
towards to the camera to represent the genre of ‘Rap/Hip-
Hop.
• I used a mid/close up shot to show the iconography of the
model, in order to represent the genre, by using Photoshop
CS6 I have been able to make my magazine look realistic
and comparable to others.

3. My front cover
I was very
inspired by NAS
XXL

5. • With the contents
page I used quite a
few conventions
that other music
magazines
use, such as having
the logo of the
magazine at the top
of the page
(normally on the
left side)

6. • I was mainly inspired by TI’s
double page spread as the
main image of him is
dominated by the left side
of the page and the article
is on the right side.
