9. My media product (front cover) uses, develops and challenges
forms and conventions of real media products in many ways.
This is because as part of my research I found many conventions
from real existing products that I have developed in using for my
own work. I found out that I should include: A Masthead, tagline,
straplines, barcode, price, cover image, puff and a kicker. As a
result, I had spotted out the essential conventions that I should
use and related them to my own R&B music genre magazine.

21. In terms of the image itself I had
used the brightness, contrast
and blur tool on Photoshop to
make my image look
professional. I blurred the left
side of the image so that when I
added text it could be seen
clearly. The clothes the artist is
wearing is important as it
represents the latest style and
fashion in which the audience
will look forward to. Therefore,
in terms of the R&B genre the
way the artists portray
themselves is essential.

ideas to create my magazine and make It look

on their own lives and the way they feel about certain
things or situations.
