This document analyzes how the magazine evaluation uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products. It summarizes that the front cover, contents page, and double page spread of the magazine evaluation generally follow conventions of similar magazines like L3, such as prominent images and advertising of artists. However, some conventions are challenged, like using a wider color scheme and more descriptive article headings to appeal to a broader audience beyond just the niche Soca genre. The overall analysis is that while adhering to many regular genre forms, some conventions are subverted to try expanding the target readership.Existing music magazine analysis

The document analyzes and compares the cover designs of three music magazines: Vibe, NME, and DIY. Vibe features a close-up photo of Kanye West with bold fonts and a pink/blue color scheme. NME shows Simon Cowell in a gray scale with key information in color. DIY uses a collage of Alt-J and unusual colors/fonts for an indie feel. Each magazine's design choices aim to attract different audiences and stand out on magazine shelves.Evaluation q1

The magazine uses conventions of real media products such as including a guitar on the front cover to identify the rock genre and having models wear dark clothing to represent the serious mood of rock music similarly to Classic Rock magazine. The magazine also develops conventions by having the model in a different position on the contents page to create a serious mood and using different fonts that reflect the genre. The magazine challenges conventions by only using one model on the front cover to represent the strength of rock instead of multiple models and posters, and by organizing cover lines around the page to leave more negative space instead of filling the page which makes it look too busy.Mag 1

Republic of Music and Bauer are two potential publishers for the magazine. Republic of Music publishes more alternative magazines and would help the magazine sell best in independent shops due to its style, though their U.S. market reach is limited. Bauer has stronger mainstream market links that could get the magazine into large retailers but may not represent its brand as well. Self-publishing would require raising funds through crowdfunding for printing and distribution costs, but would lack established shop and retailer connections.Evaluation

My magazine, Enterprise, uses conventions from real media like a masthead and cover images. It targets teenagers of both genders with bright colors and fun fonts. While the magazine represents only white British artists equally across genders, the cover images rely on some gender stereotypes. The intended audience was 12-19 year olds but the colorful design could attract a wider range. Prometheus would be a suitable publisher since it reaches multiple platforms and already publishes popular magazines like Billboard. The magazine would cost £2 per issue and aims to sell 100 copies per issue to earn £2,400 in the first year.

My double page spread develops conventions by including a page number, aligning text and images, and including a full article interview. It challenges conventions by placing smaller images in polaroid frames and adding a personal touch.Codes and Conventions of Magazines

My media product challenges conventions of real music magazines by using a plain background that does not provide context like backgrounds in other magazines, though it keeps other conventions like using short cover lines and drawing attention to the main image. The main image shows two models in poses that imply superiority and popularity, holding props like hats and chains that emphasize the R&B/hip-hop genre. The color scheme, layout, and masthead draw from conventions of keeping the design clean and highlighting the most important elements.Evaluation q 1

The document analyzes how the creator's media product, Libertie Magazine, uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It conforms to conventions such as having a large, bold masthead; minimal costumes; and a variety of photo shots. However, it challenges conventions by featuring new, unsigned artists on the cover rather than famous ones, having a packed contents page layout, and using a long shot for the double-page spread. The creator developed conventions by giving the masthead deeper meaning related to the magazine's values and genre, and using edited single-color images. The color scheme follows the indie magazine convention of mostly muted tones with splashes of color.Ctec media unit 13 LO2

Interior pages will feature interviews, photos and drop caps for visual interest.Q1 in what way does your media product, use develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products
- 1. In what way does your media product, use develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
- 2. Similarities After evaluating both magazines (XXL), it is very explicit to me that both magazines are very similar in aesthetics and the use of a colours scheme. The masthead is behind the model as it emphasises the model. This will allow people to see the model before the masthead. The masthead and layout is always the same in each edition which allows customers to see the magazine from far.
- 3. Similar conventions used • Clear Heading to attract brand loyal customers from far • Heading could be under the main image to give the main image more importance • Clear image to depict the individual and make him stand out • The colours used are aesthetically attractive and theme based to represent the seasonal vibe and Tupacs’ death. • Similarities include: short summaries of important eye attracting and knowledgeable RnB information which magazines such as vibe and XXL represent.
- 4. Similarities within The colour scheme of the magazine has remained consistent with the theme used through out the magazine. The similarities in the front cover, contents page and DPS. All four pages are very consistent with the colour and layout. However, the colour isn’t directly similar to Q magazine, but the scheme of the colour coordination is similar. The magazine is slightly different from its competitors so the market has a new design variety. The difference between Elite magazine and its competitors is that, the competitors go crazy with the colours used and make their magazine look unprofessional in the cover page, contents and DPS. For example, XXL magazine change the colours they use very often and causes them to not have very strong house colours.
- 5. Differences There are a couple of features that make my magazine unique, these include: The image style, which shows the model ‘Jerimiah Santos’ posing on one side to give more significance to his wrist and his left side of his body. Although my genre is Rnb and represents XXL I used conventions from Q magazine on the contents page and developed them in my own way so they work in my favour Also The images presented are relevant and create a story and show the headline of the story.
