1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of real media products?
My music magazine uses various forms of conventions, which relate to real media
products. I have used research of similar music magazines to create my finished
product. I also tried out various font styles on my text and titles to make sure it
looked like a real media product. The images I took, I think, also show that my
magazine relates to a real media product. My magazine would also be unique in
comparison to other music magazines that are currently on sale because with the
genre of music I have chosen, there are a very small number of magazines that aim
for this type of music. This makes my magazine very unique and different to others.
I looked into various different magazines like Kerrang and NME to gather inspiration
to create my magazine. Through doing this, I created my music magazine so it looked
as professional as possible but also different from other magazines at the same time.
