Evaluation 1 - In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

When creating my Media product, i have made sure that i have include as many conventions as possible from a real music magazine. Conventions of a music magazine are, masthead, cover lines, barcode, date main image. Throughout my product i have tried to stick to my style model which has been NME. I have tried to stick to the conventions NME use but also add my own personal twists and feel to the product.

pre downloaded images i have used for my front cover, Jay Z, Lady Gaga and Alex Turner
I chose these 3 artists because it shows the diversity of my magazine and also its just not about one style of music there are different genres which will draw a wider audience.

My finished Front Cover

Adding the issue number and Price to my magazine, also keeping to my housestyle

Improving my front cover by adding more cover lines so that it looks more like a music magazine

Here i have added more images on my contents page and started to add page number to the images. Again just sticking to my house style.

I've added the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram icons to my contents page which match the the house style am using.
