In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of a real media products?My magazine is both conventional and unconventional as it

follows normal layouts as the photograph is behind the text and the text is written on top of it without covering the face which is seen on my front cover also it uses similar colour schemes related to my genre of music .But its also unconventional as the magazine name is on a tilt and has little items in the title which is different other magazines in my music genre as they would use a bold straight font as used in say NME as its just two colours very bold and on a level angle.I have used a medium close up photograph which is unconventional as normally there would be a medium shot or long shot of the artist but I have typically gone for a moody looking indie rock teenager which is who the genre appeals to in a general sense.

I dark colour scheme just like mine but with one bright colour which is very similar to mine.

This is more like my colour scheme for the same type of music genre showing that my magazine is conventional in some aspects

My contents page is also typical of a indie music magazine and of any normal music magazine as it has page numbers and pictures just like a conventional contents page as it also has sub titles for the articles inside.But also its unconventional as everything is slanted but also in conventional magazines there is text underneath but mine doesn't showing its unconventional .The numbers on the photographs is something seen in other music magazines as seen on the examples below. Also having contents written on the page is also similar to other magazines in my genre i have research but yet again its conventional but unconventional as the contents just like the magazine name is on a tilt to the left showing both the conventional and unconventional layout of my magazine.The effects also make it the contents unconventional as from my examples they don't have any in them not to say that some may have them in as they try to keep the full photograph which have done with one of the photographs, were as they use all the photograph which shows I am keeping to the general layout of my chosen genres magazine.

My contents page also develops the idea of the conventions in my indie genre music magazine as the normal layout is there but has be enhanced more as I have added my own twist on it.

These are areas i have used from other magazines in my genre.

This is my double page spread which I have kept very conventional as it has its has columns just like normal double page spreads.Also a photograph on the side of the text which links heavily the article also the page break is clear on the double page spread.The photograph is a typical photograph that would be seen
