In what ways does your media product use, develop
or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
My magazine has forms of conventions from different
magazines, as it holds a lot of the same generic conventions that a real
magazine would hold such as a bar code, date, masthead etc. But although it is
holding a lot of the same generic conventions it is also quite a unique and
individual with its own genre and also holds most of the necessary generic
conventions. My magazine also sticks to the conventions of a real magazine by
using a 3 way colour scheme where I have used generally 3 main colours to use throughout
the front cover contents page and the double page spread to display the same
genre and flow the whole way through as I wouldn’t want the audience to think
that the genre or style of the magazine is changing as you flick through the
pages of the magazine. With my magazine I have generally used white, black and
orange throughout the pages to keep a rock touch with the darker colours and
also I brighten it up with the white and orange to make it seem livelier to the
audience and make the magazine have also a pop touch to it. Also another way
that I have made my magazine consist of the same conventions of a real media
product is that when developing my magazine I looked at different sorts of
magazines on the internet such as Q Magazine which clearly displayed to me
which type of generic conventions I needed to use in my magazine and influenced
me massively when producing my magazine. When I was looking at the different
magazines on the internet I had to take into account of which generic
conventions would be necessary to include into my magazine which were also
things such as: Including free giveaways, different facts, issue number, logos
etc. These different generic conventions make the magazine out to be more
professional and worked on and not simple and basic.
