How I used, developed or challenged the forms and conventions of real media products

Clothes

Real media products use the same forms

and conventions

Typical of the music genre as

considered to be challenging what is

seen to be the “norm”

Font- connotes youth and is suitable to both

genders

Challenging conventions

because purple is considered a

feminine colour

Magazine aimed at both genders

Setting- underground which connotes exclusivity of the

product

Developed conventions of real media products- tend to use studios or open space rather

than underground

Two column layout- convention of a magazine

layout

Added two boxes that obstruct the 2 column

layout

Convention of a teenager- seen to be heavy drinkers and smokers, going to

clubs and music gigs

Articles connote a hedonistic lifestyle
