In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
True magazine
XXL magazine
My magazine
In many ways my media product is both similar and different to real media products. Both real magazines and my magazine use similar conventions as well as similar design features and language.
My magazine in comparison with other music magazines like True and XXL you can see both comparisons and differences. With True magazine and my magazine you can see that the title is in a similar position with smaller writing both above and underneath it which on my magazine is the puff. You can also see from my magazine and the real magazines like True and XXL and the coverlines are similar. The images on my magazines and professional magazines are different as the image on the front cover on my magazine is much smaller than the ones on the real media products. The backgrounds are also different as the professional magazines as shown above have much darker backgrounds where as mine has a much lighter background which could be aimed towards a wider audience. My magazine is also different to real media products as there’s much less text on the real media products where as my magazine there’s much more text on the front cover.
Looking at the real media products and my media product its easy to see that they are differed on what type of magazine it is. For example, XXL magazine is more of a rap magazine and you can tell what audience its instantly aimed at by the colours used and also by the image used, this is because the image on XXL is much larger and attracts the audience more has the artist does not have his top on.
Both my magazine and the real media products have all the parts to a magazine but they are styled in a different way to attract their intended audience which fits the genre and this is what makes my media product and professional media products different, apart from real products looking a lot more professional because of the money put into them and the difference in style which depends on the genre of music.
