Question 1 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? By Jasmine Howell
Masthead- The central image is placed over the masthead. Facial expressions- They don’t seem to be doing much; looking away, very casual clothing, simple body posture with their hands in their pocket Cover Line- Canted angle, un-conventional because it’s highly decorative Central Image The central image goes right out to the edge, and I have followed this convention Cover Line- This is the main cover line which refers to the main article in the magazine. Background- Un- conventional because its not done in the studio like most music magazines Footer- Banner at the bottom of the page
Ears- I have included ears in my magazine which many music magazines do, so I have kept this convention along with all the rest Masthead- I haven’t placed the central image over the masthead because as my music magazine is new, I wanted the title to stand out to my new audience. I have also added a tag line, which NME do not have, so I have challenged this convention. Barcode- I have made a barcode to add into my magazine and in NME they have their barcode somewhere else, so I have tackled this convention Footer- I have continued this convention and included a banner
This NME layout is very much similar to my own music magazine. I have included this to show that NME are un-conventialsometimes because they have different elements they maintain for an example they have maintained a footer, and some they change, for an example the barcode is at the front and on the other NME magazine the barcode is placed somewhere else.
Overall, my music magazine has maintained many conventions and also challenged some. I took a risk by challenging some conventions because as my magazine is aimed at a younger audience I wanted to change it. Also the name of my magazine is suggesting its own ‘rule’ so I made sure I challenged these conventions because of that.
