In what ways does you media product use, develop or challenge forms of media products?

On my magazine front cover I have followed conventions. On the front cover I have used a medium close up shot for the main image just like Empire. The image is directly addressing the audience as their is eye contact, this is used in the Empire magazine as well. I have used the masthead on the top left corner which is different to the standard conventions for a magazine, where the masthead is usually placed in the middle at the top of the page such as the Empire magazine. Furthermore, the position of my masthead is because it is easier for the consumer to identity which magazine it is because when the magazines are being sold in a shop the position of the magazines are on top of each other with only the left hand side showing. I have used a consistent colour scheme of purple-blue which is the main colour for the college, for the Empire magazine they have a colour scheme of mainly white and red, for the colour scheme I wanted to keep the gender non specific, the colour scheme in Empire is for both genders. For the font I have used Rockwell Extra Bold for all of the lettering because I want to keep a consistent layout as this is more eye catching for the audience where as for the Empire magazine they have used a variety of fonts.

For the contents page I have included the contents title and used the font Rockwell Extra Bold to keep the same house style of my magazine. By having the magazine title, date I have followed the codes and conventions. I have used the same colour scheme of blues and blacks because this will appeal more to the audience because having a colour scheme makes the magazine look attractive and a more professional look as this is seen also in the Q magazine. The images that I have used relate to the genre of my magazine which is about the latest college news and the pages on the magazine. In the image I used one of the same models to link the contents and front page.
