This document summarizes how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real magazines. It uses consistent colors throughout, bold text styles, and a large cover image surrounded by text, mimicking professional magazines. However, it challenges conventions by presenting artist names in a similar style to hip hop magazine XXL to attract interested readers. Black boxes are also used around text, varying from typical magazines. The color scheme and placement of a main image on the left with text on the right mirrors XXL's format. The document demonstrates how the magazine challenges conventions while continuing themes like a prominent first letter in the masthead text.

1. Evaluation

2. 1.In what ways does your media product use,
develop or challenge forms and conventions
of real media products?
• Like a lot of professional magazines I have seen use the same colours
throughout the cover, contents and double page spread and I believe
mine does that
This red
theme is
continued
throughout
The bold style of writing outlined
is repeated
Like the professional
magazine it has a big
cover image
surrounded by a lot
of text
The barcode
with name
date and
price on
which all
magazines
have

3. It also challenges
forms of real media
products through its
design for instance
the names are
presented in a
similar way to Hip
hop magazine xxl
also similar to
magazines the
names are to try
entice people to buy
it so people that are
interested in hip hop
and know these
names will want to
buy it because it
appeals to them
Like the image on the right you can see
the vary in text and in my magazine the
varied text as well also the special issue
could be a unique selling point and get
people to buy it

4. As you can see I’ve changed
some of the conventions like
with this I have black boxes
around the text which it does
not have I have continued the
colour scheme which xxl has
done as, also having a main
image on the left hand side to
make it stand out

5. This shows how my magazine has challenged other media conventions as you can see they both have a large image on the
left followed by text on the right side, Also you can see how the A is outlined and larger than the other text this is what I
have done with the d in my text and continued the theme of the masthead
