The document describes a media product created for a target audience of people aged 16-25. While some generic magazine features were incorporated, such as a bold masthead and left-third layout, the product challenged conventions by merging hip hop and electro dance music genres and including vibrant colors and boxes of text on double page spreads to attract its niche audience.

2.  My products target audience was younger
people aged 16-25. The genre of music was
hip hop/electro dance music. I merged 2
genres to suit the modern people of my niche
audience, this challenges the regular
conventions of media products because
generic products choose 1 genre to attack.

3.  Real media magazine productions have
simple key features that I incorporated into
my design.
 There are some elements that I developed
and some that I kept the same.

4.  My front cover used the generic features that
my style model showed, for example a bold
vibrant masthead. This feature was one that I
used in my media production that I kept the
same.
 I also kept the generic left third style as it is
generally easier to navigate and helped keep
my cover look simple and easier to navigate
around.

5. The comparison shows I
used a vibrant bold colour
to attract my target
audience and used a bar
across the top of the page
too.
I stuck to the left third but
kept it very basic and that
is maybe a downfall to my
product. The style model I
used has a body shot for
its main image, I used this
feature and kept it the
same. I challenged the
usual conventions of
magazines by advertising
in the bottom corner and
by not having a puff!
I would

6. My contents page had a bold title
on and similarly to the front cover
it has a bold colour for the title
being a bold red for the ‘C’ on the
title. I stuck to the traditional left
third and added a qr scan picture
to add effect to my contents page.
This can be associated with
neologism and similarly to that
helps me create a more interactive
relationship with the target
audience.

8.  My double page spread stuck with the regular
conventions by having a large image that
slightly covered most of the page. However I
filled out the spaces with vibrant colourful
boxes with text in to attract the niche
audience as the vibrant colours represent my
niche audience of young outgoing people
aged 16-25.

9.  I didn’t use a style model for my double page
spread as double page spreads are very
different between different genres of
magazine. Due to the fact my magazine was a
hybrid-genre, I thought I would have to
almost create my magazine double page
spread from scratch and ‘set the trend’ to
suit my specific merging of genres.

10.  On a whole I kept most things the same but
because I decided to disregard the regular
conventions of real media products I was
forced to challenge the conventions like the
double page spread colours and boxes.
 Similarly I had to fade the background colour
out which goes against regular conventions.
