QUESTION ONE- CONTENTS PAGEIn what ways does you media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

MASTHEAD

For my masthead I took inspiration from other magazine such as Q as they included both the masthead from their front cover and the title contents. This made it clear that the contents matched with the front cover and had continuous brand identity.

I put it on a banner line to help make the page more structured and interesting and to make the white words stand out more.

CONTENTS During my research phase I looked at

the different things music magazines include on their contents page.

They all had things they knew their audience would like and be attracted to such as information on artists and every month features so on mine I decided I would comply with the conventions of other media products and do the same.

I also decided that I would put my information in columns too as it was proven to be attractive.

I included what I did as I knew it would attract my target audience and make them more interested to read on.

CONTENTS

The images I used on my page matched other conventions as they reflected the genre of the magazine. I included the section on the cover story with a different image as it made it more interesting but then also promoted my front cover page again.

My page numbers varied in fonts and colours just like other magazine such as Q to add more interest and colour to the page.

EXTRAS

I added a twitter, Facebook and web link to my contents page to attract my younger audience.

Magazines like Q also do this for the same reason.

My content page did follow many media product conventions and was of a similar colour scheme and structures. Over all I was pleased with my contents page and liked the way it looked.
