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

My magazine develops on the conventions of contemporary music magazines as I followed a simple house style throughout the whole of the magazine by sticking to simple colours all the way throughout the magazine Purple, Yellow, Black and White. I had chose colours that wouldn’t have appeared to be bias as when I had conducted my questionnaire I found out through some of the answers that I had received that many music magazine readers thought that certain colours would imply certain things about a magazine, such as light pink would suggest a young girl as the reader. Also I had used one magazine throughout to analyse this is where I got my ideas from when it came to creating a house style for my magazine for example like on my contents page I had used the idea of putting each article in my magazine into an area out of news, feature and reviews. This made it easy understandable and avoided confusion with the reader. I developed on the conventions as the magazine is for Musical Theatre lovers, they are usually very creative and unique in what they do whether it be singing, acting or dancing. So for each page I had created a subtle background of various rectangle shapes and instead of having the title at the top of the page I had put it in the centre fold of the magazine. However when doing this I had to make sure that the writing didn’t appear right in the middle of the centre fold so that it could still be read.
