    In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use, Develop or Challenge Forms and Conventions of Media Products. Similarities

    This document discusses how the media product both follows and challenges conventions of magazine design. It follows conventions by including consistent design elements like mastheads, color schemes, and column layouts on the cover and contents pages. However, it challenges some conventions by placing the main image off-center on the cover and spreading out the masthead to make room for additional elements. The final product also challenges conventions by using three columns instead of two on the contents page to allow more space for extra images and information.

    How I followed codes and conventions
    I follow codes and conventions by using a medium shot with a direct
    mode of address as my main image to attract and keep the audiences
    attention; also making it more personal. I kept a consistent colour
    scheme of purple and green, the college colours so the audience can
    learn to be familiar with it and to almost form a brand; it also ensures
    that it isnt too chaotic and overwhelming on the cover, Vogue does the
    same with grey and white. My masthead is right at the top of the cover;
    just like Vogue, this is used to create branding for my magazine. I also
    followed codes and conventions by putting my barcode and date right in
    the bottom right which is the last place the reader will look. My main
    cover line is the biggest with a further explanation underneath which
    follows conventions. Following conventions I advertised a contest with a
    circle puff to make it stand out from the background and to ensure that
    people dont think its another cover line. I followed codes and
    conventions by making the font of the cover lines the same throughout
    all of the cover, but made is different to the font of the masthead. I also
    put my tagline right at the top by the masthead.

    I kept the same idea of a main image the same as my drawn draft. I also
    kept the puff in the same area to fill in white space. The barcode was always
    going to be in the corner as not to distract from the more important things
    on the cover. I also kept the same main cover line and tagline of the
    magazine. I kept the same colour scheme as my drawn drafts as its a
    college magazine and the colours used are the Solihull Sixth Form colours so
    this keeps it on brand and in genre.

    How I challenged codes and conventions
    I challenged codes and conventions by not placing my main
    image right in the middle of the cover and putting it more on
    the right side of the cover. This however works with my
    magazine because if it was in the middle it wouldnt fit in
    properly with my main cover line. My masthead doesnt cover
    all of the top of the cover but only the left corner. I did this
    instead of making it go across the whole page to fit in my
    tagline on the top but to also cover up more white space and
    its quite a long name and it wouldnt look as well put together
    all in one line.

    My actual cover is different to my drawn draft as the


    photo I used is scaled up more than I planned. This
    was done not to leave any blank spaces. My tagline
    isnt as big as in my drawn drafts because it took up
    too much space and it was still visible on the cover.

    How I followed codes and conventions
    I followed codes and conventions by keeping my contents
    page in columns. This ensures that the page is organised
    and easy to read. I also put my masthead onto my
    contents page to keep the branding and I also keep with
    the colour scheme of the front cover to give the audience
    a sense of familiarity. Empire magazine does the same
    thing. Next to my mast head I clearly stated that this is a
    contents page as not to confuse the audience.

    I kept the same approximate size and layout of my


    college logo and contents I kept this because I felt it
    was appropriate for my contents page. I also kept the
    size of the images the same.

    How I challenged codes and conventions
    The main way I challenged codes and
    conventions of a contents page is by adding
    more than one image; these all still link into the
    magazine just like empires. This works better
    for my magazine because it shows that it
    includes a variety of subjects.

    The main difference between my drawn draft and my final


    product is that I went from two columns onto three. This
    allowed me to spread the information out more and gave me
    more room to add extra things, like the social media accounts.
    I also added three images instead of two and placed them
    differently. This was done so that the writing is all in one place
    and its not confusing to the reader.
