Evaluation Question 1: In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

The ways in which my media product uses forms and conventions of real media products is though the way each page is constructed. Each picture is placed specifically to either promote, attract or conform with the genre in which of which I have chosen, hence creating a magazine which can create profit and larger audiences. My front cover fits the conventions of an alternative magazine through the placement of the edited front cover piece. Other similar magazines uses similar looking models, similar editing tools and similar poses ie Kerrang/Rocksound, so in turn, my magazine would fit perfectly on a shelf next to real alternative music magazines. Finally, the ways in which I represent a particular social group through having my models dress and conform to wearing certain clothing within the genre fits the conventions of other media products as this is a standard and professional action to perform in creating such a product.



Similarities: Clear + edited fonts, front cover model placed specifically so information can be placed alongside to created sub - headings. Buzz words (FREE), Quality of picture taken (completely clear and HD) and also the ways each title never looks empty IE has a coloured square behind it or is placed on an angle.
