In what way’s do your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions?

The elements I used in my magazine were...

•Photos•Fonts•Text•Headlines•Price•Barcode•Layout•Contents page

•Articles•Colour scheme•Page numbers•Front cover•Date•Writing style•Issue number•Cover lines

How did I present these How did I present these elements?elements?

I used a large masthead a the top of the page, overlapped by the main image. Which is very common in other magazines, such as my example taken from MOJO magazine. I used a large

picture for my main image which is typical for most music magazines, along with smaller images which I chose not to use. MOJO used the same element but had the picture take up the whole page

Using key words such as “Exclusive” draw the reader in which is a key thing on a front cover of a magazine. MOJO didn’t use key words such as “exclusive” as their music genre is slightly different to mine.

I chose to put some cover lines in boxes as it shows they are important and stand out on the page, not all music magazines use this feature so here I have not followed the convention. MOJO do not use the same conventions as I do so I could not show an example of having cover lines in boxes, although what I have chosen to show could be put in boxes

Having the main article bigger than the rest of the cover lines and right by the main images shows that this is who the article is about. MOJO present this element in the same way, although it is not next to the image.
