In what way does my media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media?

My magazine contains many different elements. I used large simple font to catch the reader’s attention and to be easy to read. I also stuck to a simple colour scheme (red, white and black) to keep a constant theme. My layout was simple so it’s not overcrowded and keeps with my main theme of simplicity and bright colours. Also the language I used is informal to make my audience relate to it more. I looked at the “BLENDER” magazine and “NME” magazine for inspiration and I found that blender helped a lot when doing my front cover. 

This is one of the magazines I used. The simple black and white wrighting with a splash of colour was very eye catching so I thought I would use the same technique on my front cover. However I decided not to use a real picture on the front cover to attract my audience. I edited the image to make it more enticing to the reader and therefore lead to them buying the magazine.
