11. In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media
products?
Conventions –
Conventions are the standard layout of any magazine you will see on a rack. Most magazines follow these convention
because this is the proven way of how to capture the audiences eye. For example big bold writing on the cover of a
magazine is used a lot to capture the audiences eye, as you probably know your self using this type of font really stands
out.
I have my self followed these convention and twisted them to suit my target audience, if I wasn’t to follow these
conventions my magazine could of turned out to be a failure because it wouldn't’t draw any attention.
I have followed conventions by using a certain layout,colour scheme and font scheme, which is used main stream
within other magazines
Layout –
I have kept to the simple look of a big header with a few other coversine's as well as a large picture in the back ground
which still over laps over some of the cover lines this gives the sense of depth, this tends to attract the audience which I
have proven in my survey
Colors –
I have kept to a contrast of colors which blend well together but I haven't gone over the top, I have used the colors
red, white and black, these colors blends very well together, but they are still different enough to add contrast and
attract to the audience. The red attracts peoples eyes so I have used it one the front cover in my title
Font –
I have used conventional large font for all titles so it grabs the readers attention you can see this a lot in other
magazines, I have chosen to use a broken font so it still fits within my target audience and the look of my magazine.
Conventional magazines use new fonts all the time to help attract readers attention
12. How does your media product represent
particular social groups?
My Focus Group-
My focus group was based on people that fits within my target audience I have chosen this sample of people because
these are the people who I am trying to appeal towards.
My target audience is a mixed gender but I am focusing at people who like acoustic music so these are typically the
once who are more outgoing. So I have looked at existing magazines and took tiny bits aay from them and I have used
them within my own magazine, and I had this analyzed by my target audience.
Construction
Fonts – I have compared font styles to see which one was the best to use on my magazine. I went for a font called rock
for my front cover I did this because it was all broken up and looked like it would appeal to my taget audience, I choose
to enlarge this font so it capture the readers eye more so tht the reader isntly realises that this magazine is targeting
them.
