The media product challenges conventions of real magazines by including elements such as the issue date and price on the front cover. Fonts, colors, and layouts are consistent throughout to maintain a house style. The target audience is emos and rockers aged 13-19, shown through the use of darker colors, informal language, and bands in that age range featured on the cover. The writing and presentation aims to attract this audience through bold, prominent text and relating to bands they know.

1. Evaluation By Jared Taliesin Williams

2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of a real media product? My media product has some of the same elements, form and conventions of a real media product. As many magazines have the and issue date and price near the title, I had also placed it here to help match other conventions. I have used forms from other magazines such as Kerrang and NME with them having big bold writing on the front cover and nothing fancy. Also having the featured articles over the left third with some of the main picture being covered by them. Having the small like bar or line going across the bottom also is like a real product as it follows usually what KERRANG! magazine does and makes it more seem like a real product.

3. Keeping the same style of writing, colour and fonts all the way through with same background also relates back to other magazines. As you can see the same colours of the backgrounds and fonts are kept throughout the entire magazines with even the same amount of size of the font. The band’s ages varies from 13-20 which means the audience can relate back to them.
