1. In what ways does your media
product use, develop or
challenge forms and
conventions of real media
products

2. Style
models
I decided to follow the layout for Q as it is very
structured but still contains enough information.
Even though Q is a rock magazine I chose to follow
the conventions taking place within this magazine
and make my magazine pop, by doing this I am
breaking typical conventions for a pop magazine
however it gives my magazine individuality being
different to others.

3. I chose to look at top of the pops for one of my
style models as I had focused my magazine on
the genre, pop. I chose to follow a similar
house style and focus on the colour scheme for
my own magazine. This follows typical
conventions of a pop magazine.

4. I looked into NME for my contents
page as It also has a organised
structure to the page. This links in with
the house style of my magazine as
both magazines are an ‘organised
mess’. I think this works really well as it
is structured which therefore makes it
easier to read. Although pop
magazines do not have the same
structure breaking these conventions
will work well as it gives the magazine
something different.

5. My
product
I have followed typical conventions of
my magazine by choosing a colour
scheme of pink, turquoise black and
white. The colour scheme follows
typical conventions however the
layout and structure of my magazine
breaks typical conventions. The image
is an extreme close-up which isn’t
common on a pop magazine, I chose
this image as it fits well for a larger
target audience. Aiming my magazine
at female teenagers (typical audience)
and a targeting older females (20-30)
it allows my magazine so look
sophisticated.

6. Keeping the same colour scheme and
holding a house style without my
magazine follows the typical conventions
of a magazine however my magazine
breaks conventions by the layout. I
followed a rock magazine style model to
create my magazine. This works well
within my magazine as it is different from
other magazines.

7. For my article I looked at several different style models. The majority of the style models
had a lot of text, large titles, a main image and strap lines. I decided to focus follow the
typical conventions within my project. I again held the house style throughout this page
fitting the magazine together.
