In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

My magazine does follow the convention of a real professional magazine. Looking at my front cover it has a similar vibe to the Jay-Z edition of clash magazine. I think this because I have tried to follow this style but also develop it slightly. Like the clash magazine I have used a close up shot of my artist like they did with Jay-Z. Image itself shows the seriousness of the artist, I did this to show he means business and isn’t messing about with his life .Although I did decide to do a title of my own original idea that I am aware of but it is in the same place as any other magazine out there (centre, top of page).

As you can see I also kept the text at the very top of the page because I think it makes the cover look a lot more professional. Throughout my magazine I have used similar fonts but for all the text like in the strip at the top of my cover, I have used the same font for all the pages (copper plate gothic light) because it looks more conventional and professional like a real magazine, like clash magazine.
