My media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media in several ways. I adhered to conventions like placing the main image in the center and using the rule of thirds. Throughout the magazine, research is applied, like centering the main cover image. The double page spread further develops conventions by cutting out an image and adding it to a new background with adjusted lighting. This challenges conventions more than just adding one picture.

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media
products?

2.  I feel that my media product uses, develops and challenges the forms and
conventions of real media products in a variety of ways, I have used the key codes
and conventions in many ways for example making sure that my main image
adheres to the rule of three and making sure that I have the right image to text ratio.
 Throughout my magazine you can look back and see that I have put my research
that I did earlier on into good use and have added them to my final magazine front
cover.
 An example of this is my main image on my front cover, I have placed it the whole
size of the cover page and positioned it so that the image is in the centre of the page.
I have done this as it will be the first thing that the audience will see when they are
looking at my magazine. I have also added my cover lines to the sides to show that
they give information as to what is in my magazine but are not the most important
thing on my front cover.
 I have developed and challenged the original magazines in my double page spread, I
have done this by cutting out the image that I was using and adding it on to a set
background that I had.
 I did this by cutting out the image from its original background and changing the
contrast and brightness of the image so it would fit onto my background nicely and
would blend in and look real. This will show the reader that my magazine is very
professional and that the best software was used to produce this magazine for the
audience. I changed this rather than sticking to the original codes and conventions
and just adding one picture as my background.
