Evaluation Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

This is the title and masthead of my magazine cover . It is big, bold and very eye catching and is an example of a real media product title.

A competition is a typical feature used in magazines which is why I have included one on my magazine cover.






 I also made sure to use graphic features and a barcode as this is important to improve the professionalism of my magazine

Because my magazine has 'Exclusive' on its cover, it enhances the audience more and this makes them more inclined to buy it. This is a typical media convention which is why I have used it.

I have included free posters in my magazine and advertised them on the front cover because members of the public are more willing to buy a magazine if it includes something free.

The model on my front cover shows the typical conventions of mise en scene. I have used a medium shot so that her face is clear, but also some of her outfit is visible also. The lighting is good so that she stands out, and she is also on a black background so that she is the main focus of the front cover. The model on the front of a magazine always decides whether or not a member of the public is going to buy a magazine, which is why I used a model from my target audience age range.

The font I have used is white and bold which stands out well on the black background. I have also used capital letters as this is an exclamatory sentence .
