Evaluation: Question 1 In what ways does your

media product use, develop or challenge forms and

conventional of real media products.

1) The title of my magazine.

My magazine challenges the conventional of real media products and this is because my front cover doesn’t have the title across the top like any other magazine as I have merged the title and logo together.

2) The fonts and its style.

Like any other conventional magazine I kept the font size the same for the topics inside magazine but different font size and font for the category title. This is because in my research I have found that different size and fonts are used for the category to make it stand out from the story topic.

3) The LayoutThe layout of my contents page is very simple and conventional as I have put the featured topics on both sides like the RNB “Vibe” magazine. However, the underlining with different colour with the story topic at the top is unconventional and challenges the product of real media product as this concept has never been used before in a music magazine. The front page is conventional as it has a one person on it with some written contents on it and also the inside page.

4) Mise-en-sceneThe picture used in my magazine are conventional as the pictures that I have used are of different style and posture just like the pictures used in the RnB magazine “Vibe” and this shows that the people in the picture are comfortable in their own ways giving the illustration of them having fun and that they have liberty. Also, it’s conventional because I used put a picture of the person at the front page, contents and inside. Also the costume that they are wearing fits the genre of my magazine because as it follows the RnB magazine conventional codes as the singers in RnB magazine wears black clothes or leather jacket and jewellery.

5) The written contents

My inside page is conventional like the real media product and this is because I have a quote and written article using the 4 Ws like that of a real inside page so my audience will read it and know about what’s going on. But the quote that I put on the picture with big quotation mark challenges the real media product because it makes it clear about who stated it and it has not been written out like that in any other RnB magazine.

My contents page follows the codes and conventional of a real magazine as it covers the similar topics and of any music magazine for example, the Britney's Top 10 which you can find in any magazine aimed at teenage audience because they would like to know about it. However, I think it also challenges the real media contents page because I included the topics such as Leona Lewis’ engagement which you won’t find in music magazines and fits perfectly for a teenage audience who takes keen interest in those celeb gossips.

6) The People

The people featured in my picture are unconventional and this is because they are not singers and are young, they are not like the people in the “Vibe” magazine. They are a suitable age group for my targeted audience who are teenagers.

Moreover, I have featured both gender but mostly girls as this is a magazine for girls but also created it to make it suitable for both gender.

7) Music Genre And How Your Magazine Suggest It.

My music magazine genre is RnB. My magazine shows this throw the conventional use of picture and quick and short magazine names such as the name of the existing magazine “Vibe” and my magazine is called “Lemz”.

The colour and the style of fonts I have used throughout my magazine also suggests it because in my research I found that they mostly use the colour blue, yellow, and black. The RnB magazines tends to use big and bold font styles and use more than just one font style such as Engravers Mt and Helvetica which I have used on my magazine to suggests it’s RnB and to follow the codes and conventional.

The picture featured in my magazine suggests the music genre and this is because in my research I found that the people on the picture wears black clothes with heavy jewellery and has aggressive facial expressions, etc.
