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

Conventions I have used:

·      Masthead

I     I wanted my masthead to stand out and catch the reader’s eye and that’s why I used ‘Kerrang’ as my style model. They are both bold and reflect the genre of the magazine and relate to the target audience. I also had to think carefully about the colour as it had to set the house colours of so it stayed the same through out and also so it linked to the background, text and images. In ‘Kerrangs’ magazine they have some images covering the masthead or they have the masthead on top of some images but they can do that because they are a popular and well known magazine.

·      Mode of address

This is part of the interview in my magazine which is on the  double page spread.

·      Sell lines

TThroughout my magazine I have use a variety of different sell lines to catch the audience’s attention.

·      House style

·      Gutters
