In what ways does your media product use,
develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? ( research and planning into similar products)

A skyline is used mostly in all music magazines in order to inform the audience about the contents. I have used a skyline, made it colourful in order to attract the audience and inform them about what they are going to read in my magazine. I based this on the fact that it is the first thing that they would be able to see while searching for a magazine in a shop.

The masthead is the ID of a magazine. While my magazine is brand new I used big, green letters in order to stand out in the eyes of the reader. The fact that it is covering part of the cover model’s head shows that it is new.
Masthead

The cover model that I have used for my magazine is
supposed to be a female artist. We can recognise that she is connected with music from the fact that she is wearing earphones and smiles in order to show happiness while listening to music. She is looking at the readers with a direct mode of address in order to make them buy it. The fact that she is young attracts younger readers and appeals also to the older. I have used a black and white picture to show that the artist is serious and orotund even though she is young.
Cover Model

The cover lines are on the right side of the front cover page. I have used different colours, fonts and sizes in order to stand out. They inform the audience about some of the contents of the magazine.

The main cover line is located in the left side of the
cover page. I have used the word exclusive bolded, to let the audience realise the importance of the cover model. I have also used a pull quote from the cover model’s interview. The fact that I have used different fonts and sizes brings a professional style to the cover.

The flash button is another reason for the audience to
buy my magazine. They will enter in a competition in order to win my cover model’s new album. This is going to attract not only her fans but also mew readers and music lovers who want to listen and get to know her music. It is located in the left bottom of the cover page and I have used light blue and pink colour in order to stand out.
Flash Button

I have used a barcode to make my magazine look
more real, as all of the magazines have a bar code. The month shows that the magazine is going to be published monthly and informs about the month that this certain magazine is for.

It can be noticed that I have not put a price. I did that
in purpose. It is a way to kind of trick the readers and buy the magazine without looking at the price. After being introduced to the contents and all of the themes in the cover page makes it easier to buy it in combination with the fact that price is not included. I would likely place the price in the last page of the magazine.

The Editor’s letter is a great way to communicate with the audience. In my letter I introduce my readers to some of the contents of the magazine and competitions. I introduce myself and try to make them feel comfortable. I have signed it and used the logo of the magazine and the institution.

I have used different images to show some of the different artists and bands that the readers are going to read for in the magazine. Mise-en-scene plays a lead role as music instruments and microphones have been used during the photo-shoots.

The subheadings inform the readers about the themes that they are going to read in the magazine. I have used different colours show the difference between them. This helps the readers to find what they easier.

I have used an explanatory text only to the picture of the main cover model in order to show the importance and give more reasons for the reader to read the double page spread.

In the contents page I have used different colours,
text fonts and sizes. It shows that its from a music magazine from the mise-en-scene. I have used brighter colours to the spots that I wanted to highlight.

The lead picture is a picture of the cover model. It
covers the first page of the double page spread. In this picture the female artist is holding her guitar in order to show her relationship with music. She is looking at the audience with a direct mode of address. Her facial expressions connote her happy and youthful attitude. She represents young people who are also the target audience of the magazine. Her costume shows her young age and sense of style.

I have made a collage of four pictures of the cover model in poses which represent the different genres of the magazine. It is placed on the bottom of the second page of the double page spread. I have used different outfits, different for each genre, and props such as earphones to show the connection with music.
Secondary pictures

I have used two pull quotes as titles of the double page spread. I used them because I believe that it is better, as it is a direct way to introduce the reader with the interview.

The drop cap that I have used in the beginning of the interview highlights the importance of the artist’s name.
