1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (1)

     

To make my magazine more radical and independent like many other jazz magazines, I tried to avoid using call outs on the front page of my magazine, this not only causes the magazine to look more professional and challenges the conventions of mainstream magazine styles, but it also causes the magazine to look more upmarket, allowing me to charge more for the magazine. Instead of using many call outs, I just used the one simple text based call out.

I have also created the mast head of my magazine so that it is vaguely transparent, allowing the reader to appreciate the colour behind it, even though the colours are basic. This also means that my magazine is more upmarket.
