The document discusses how the media product uses conventions from real magazines. It analyzed covers, mastheads, contents pages, and double page spreads from magazines like Q and Top of the Pops. For the cover, it used conventions like cover lines and barcode but had a unique cover image. The masthead font and color was chosen to fit the cover image. The contents page included images, chronological ordering, and social media links like real magazines. The double page spread utilized conventions such as Q&As, columns, pull quotes, and attributions.

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Whilst researching and planning for my media Product, I done two case studies on existing pop magazines. By doing this, I was able to identify and analyse concepts which I could use in my magazine. these magazines were Q and Top of the Pops.
Front Cover The image on my front cover is not one that is normally used on front covers. The covers on the two magazines I analyzed have both got individual artists so I can’t compare my cover to them but after looking at some images of magazines with bands on their covers, I didn’t find any magazines that used a similar photograph to mine. Apart from the cover image, I have used conventions of music magazines such as cover lines, pull quotes, barcode, price and date.
Masthead The masthead for my magazine was made using a font on Photoshop as my previous masthead didn’t look that great on the cover. My masthead goes across the top of my front cover and is in the font ‘Gilli Sans Ultra Bold’ which stands out on the cover and also is in the same colour as the top one of my cover stars is wearing which makes the font fit in better on the cover with the image.
Contents Page The contents page in both the existing pop magazines consisted of a single page which images as well as the contents in chronological order. After analysing the contents pages of Q and Top of the Pops I decided to use the following conventions of real media products in my magazine: • images, •contents in chronological order, •editor’s note, •links to social networking websites, •page number
Double Page Spread There are many aspects of my DPS which use conventions of real media products. These include: Q&A, columns, image on one page, pull quote, description of what the interview is about, Initial of who is speaking in the interview as there are 2 people, page number Mention of social networking websites to interact with the audience.
Thank You
