1. Question 1
In what ways does you media product use/develop or challenge forms and convention of
real media products?
The masthead although in
most magazines is quite
crisp and a simple font I
have chosen to go with a
more painted and un-neat
look for my masthead. I
did this because I thought
that is represented my
target audience better.
The genre of music that
this magazine is based on
this rebellious and heavy, I
think that the messy
masthead represents this
well.
The main image is black
and white unlike most
main images on a
magazine cover I have
done this because I think
it represents my audience
better it is quite serious
music so the black and
white image makes the
magazine look more
serious also it gives the
magazine a classic look
this would be good as the
magazine would be liked
by the older of my
audience more.
Instead of having a right
third like conventional
magazines I have a left
third I did this to
emphasize the
rebellious side of the
genre of music.

2. The contents page follows the conventions of a magazine other than the fact that the images are
predominantly black and white this as I have said before is to give the magazine a more serious feel
and to appeal to an older audience as well.

3. The double page spread also follows conventions as I have said before the black and white image
might be the only un-conventional thing about this page.
