Q1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Throughout the production process of my magazine, creating my font page, contents page and double page spread, I have created continuity throughout, for example creating a house style with a colour scheme. I decided to use a colour scheme of: red, black, white and yellow, which I have continued onto all of my magazine pages to create my magazine to look aesthetically pleasing and to bring it all together. I chose to use these colours because I researched into magazines with the same music genre as mine, and found that it was conventional and a similar selection of colours were used. Also, I felt that red, black and white are all associated with rock and have connotations of danger, with the added inclusion of yellow, allowed aspects of my magazine to stand out and catch the audiences attention. Another feature to create the house style, was placing my main model on all three of my products to reinforce her importance as the main artist, across the magazine and to maintain the magazine genre to the audience.In addition, I have also used the same type of fonts across all three features, of being bold and creating a powerful, to reinforce the dominance of my magazine. If i did not continue this house style onto all of the features of my magazine, then it would appear unprofessional and inconsistent, and the importance of my main artist and the magazine would not be reinforced.
