Evaluation: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products



Firstly i will start with the conventions i have used in my magazine:

The title of my magazine needed to be bold and bright so i found an effective font from photo shop and created my title. I then re sized it after looking at a Kerrang magazine and seeing what size and the shape the font was, this helped me to make my title for my magazine look effective. I used the font sidewalk as it looked rough and give a good feel to my front cover. This title features on the contents page as well as it sets the theme for the magazine.

The mise-en-scene in the images in the front cover show by the persons clothing and props such as the microphone and the headphones suggest that my magazine themes are for music as there are also many band names and gig names surrounding the magazine so this also shows us that my magazine is based on music and bands. As you can see by the actors i used for my magazine they are wearing basic clothing usual like a band t-shirt and skinny jeans, which is typical for band members to wear. I researched some written content by looking at some double page spread content from the music magazine Kerrang! and tried to do what they do. The Music genre i have chosen to have my magazine based on is Punk/Metal/Rock music and my magazine suggests this by the name of the title "Fear Of The Punk". The layout is pretty basic for my front cover is pretty simple as i have my image in the middle of the page and the text and sub images around the image, i also have my title at the top like most magazines these days. My contents page is basic as well as on one side i have the pages numbers and the arcticles and on the other side the images that link with the arcticles stories.
