1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
• Mercury was influenced by Kerrang’s forms and conventions
• Kerrang always has a banner above the masthead
• Kerrang often has their cover model(s) partly obscuring the masthead
• Interesting main coverline which clearly includes the model(s) credit
• Bar code with the issue’s date, price, and the magazine’s website
• Tilted coverline rebels against normal magazine conventions, but follows Kerrang conventions

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
• I mainly drew ideas from these two example contents pages: NME (far left) & Kerrang (far right)
• Side bar on the right including page numbers and article titles
• A title which confirms that it is a contents page
• Letter from the editor in the top left hand corner
• Feature article/DPS image larger than the others
