My media product is a music magazine that focuses on genres like dance, techno, drum and bass, dubstep, and hip hop. To make the magazine look professional, I used conventions from real media products such as including genre photos, costumes, and themes. However, I also challenged some conventions by excluding sexually oriented photos and instead including photos of muscular men to appeal to a different, mainly male, audience. I also manipulated some photos to appear more masculine and sophisticated to attract different target audiences. When selecting costumes for photo shoots, I chose t-shirts in bright fluorescent colors that stood out, drawing from conventions of similar magazines.
