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

I tried to stick to the conventional forms of real media products because i think it is a safe way to go, as there products sell there are certain things that the real product has that attracts the audience so i included every important, image, style, pug etc. I have included these on all three of my final pieces. on my front cover i have included a heading, the same as every magazine. it is bold and eye catching so it is easy to spot. also other conventional magazine usually make there main story bigger and bolder then other information so that the audience know what story the magazine is advertising as well as a recommendation to read. the image i have used has been placed onto a white background like most other magazine front covers to excentuate the main image which also links up to the main story, i haven't tried anything different because as most magazines have the same style, i wouldn't want to make a difference because it would be a risk with the audience. i have stuck to the style that i know the public like. The pug i have used isn't just a simple shape, i have used a post it note which is a pale yellow, this then adds colour to the front cover but still maintaining its black and white theme. the pug then shows up and the readers attention goes automatically to read what it says. i haven't seen any other magazine with this idea which helps with its originality also the black and white theme i haven't come across another magazine so therefore i feel that it challenges the form of a conventional magazine. I have included a bar code, cost and date. Every magazine i analysed had these three things and is only right if i include them on mine to give the most basic information to the reader. Like other magazine's other information is shown down the sides and bottom i have kept with the same font for extra info because it is then easy to see what are the most important bits i have tried to make clear. When it comes to challenging the forms of a conventional magazine, i have saved all my ideas for the contents and double page spread because the front cover has to be the best quality to attract the audience in the first place. I have kept with the colour theme but adding in a little bit of colour at every opportunity without making the pieces look tacky. Like other magazines i have looked at i have kept with the main heading to be bold and eye-catching. I have included not as many images as a normal contents would have because i believe that the information is more important, however i have added a few images that link with the story as well as sticking with the conventional magazine and adding one main image. I am a fan of this image because of the way it blends into the background, which makes it look professional. Unlike other magazines i haven't seen a magazine that is advertising next weeks issue on the contents page, i have added this in because i think its important to advertise the magazine at every chance. I have also included the issue number on the contents instead of the Front cover because its not so important that it has to be displayed on the first page trying to attract the audience. Other conventional magazines have there information listed under headings, i personally think that it's a good idea because of how easy it is to find a certain story, therefore i have kept with the same style. Also other magazines normally have quotes presented onto there contents, i have included one as well but i have kept it easy to notice that it is a quote because of where i have placed it. I feel that in some magazines its hard to pick out information because of how cramped and where things are placed. i have tried to keep my contents filled but easy to read as well. Conventional Double page spreads usually have one page devoted to an image, i have followed this trend but placed part of the heading also on the same page, i think this then clears room on the other page for more important details. My magazine follows all conventional themes as real media products because i think its risky changing the layout of the double pages because the audience wouldn't be used to it and may not like it. i have kept the writing in columns but slight wider then the conventional magazine. I have also placed images underneath to attract the readers attention as they may become bored reading too much information. Underneath the main image i have wrote 'World Exclusive News' this would hopefully catch the readers attention. I have seen this in other magazine's and have placed it round about where other magazines have. As the reader would be flicking through it would stand out and the audience would then be indicated to the main story. Like other magazines it is a must to include a page number and i haven't changed anything about the placement so readers would not get confused. other information show e.g tour dates have been made bold to stand out amongst the story. Conventional magazine's include quotes within their main story, so i have made no exception and done the same exactly within the same style so the audience can tell its a quote. I think that analysing conventional magazine's has helped me alot in completing my three final pieces to make them look as professional and high quality and they could be.
