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

• Like a lot of professional magazines I have seen use the same colours throughout the cover, contents and double page spread and I believe mine does that

This red theme is continued throughout

The bold style of writing outlined is repeated

Like the professional magazine it has a big cover image surrounded by a lot of text

The barcode with name date and price on which all magazines have

It also challenges forms of real media products through its design for instance the names are presented in a similar way to Hip hop magazine xxl also similar to magazines the names are to try entice people to buy it so people that are interested in hip hop and know these names will want to buy it because it appeals to themLike the image on the right you can see

the vary in text and in my magazine the varied text as well also the special issue could be a unique selling point and get people to buy it

As you can see I’ve changed some of the conventions like with this I have black boxes around the text which it does not have I have continued the colour scheme which xxl has done as, also having a main image on the left hand side to make it stand out

This shows how my magazine has challenged other media conventions as you can see they both have a large image on the left followed by text on the right side, Also you can see how the A is outlined and larger than the other text this is what I have done with the d in my text and continued the theme of the masthead
