Evaluation questions

Question 1 in what ways des your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
1. The title of my magazine. To do this I had to think about the genre of magazine which is pop and relate it to my target audience which would stand out for people to see clearly and be interested in the magazine. I decided to call it Intune because it relates to being up to date with latest music and the variety of artists that would feature in the magazine. I think its conventional because it definitely has connotations of music within the title and should draw people to it.
2. Mise en scene of images and Costumes. The pop genre is a very open genre that does not signify a specific look or unique adaptation. I chose to keep the images simple and let the models express themselves and portray themselves through expressions rather than looks and appearances  such as clothes although they look up to date there was no one that stands out more than the other.
3. Models.  I asked Ruth for my front cover and main article for the double page spread. I asked her because she is within the age of my target audience therefore it is easier for the audience to connect with the article and feel it is worth while reading. There are also other models male and females to make it a mixed gender magazine specifically for my initial ideas.
4. Masthead font/ title style. The title of my magazine is Intune. I tried to relate it to the genre with the splats from the title to make it stand out more, the colour of it is black because it is then suitable for various colours of backgrounds and if I needed to change the colour of the title then it is still identifiable because of the splats which identify the magazine as a pop genre.
5. Music genre. The genre is pop and highlighted throughout the magazine within text and layout, it looks fun, up to date and we use artists that are most popular with charts to interview which is the unique selling point of interviewing artists exclusively.
6. Layout.  They layout of my magazine follows conventions, for example within the double page spread the body text is placed in columns which is easier for the audience to consume and follow. Another convention is the importance of articles for example within my magazine I have conveyed the importance by the size of the font to make it stand out  for the audience to perceive it as the most important on the front page and contents page.
