5. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
6. Use of contemporary media conventions in my project. I have used some conventions of the contemporary newspaper in my project. I have used things such as a masthead and columns and organised them in a standard newspaper style. I have done this as I think that there is no need to reorganise the basic layout of a newspaper as the layout most people are familiar with works well and allows information to be read easily and quickly by the reader.

18. How effective is the combination of my main product and its ancillary texts? My use of the ancillary tasks in my newspaper is typical of contemporary media conventions in the same field. As you can see I have maintained a blue based colour scheme though out my project piece including the ancillary texts to help create the sense of identity that I talked about earlier. As you can see I have included the newspaper logo on all three key areas. The logo is on the front page of the paper, the home page of the website and the Poster. This is because these are the first points of viewing that an audience will have with my paper and they need to be given the title and brand straight away.
