My media product uses forms and conventions of media products, as I have chosen to present my magazine in an A4 size rather than A5 as this is most common for magazines as they then are the right size to fit stacked up on a shelf. Also, after researching some examples of music magazines I have found out that most supplements or extras included in music magazines are A5 size, this is because they then fit perfectly inside the A4 sized magazine.
My media product develops forms and conventions of media products as not many magazines show just people in their main image, I have done this rather than having my model holding a musical instrument or microphone as I wanted my main image to show dominance and I wanted it to stand out on the shelf of a store, I have also used the colour scheme of red, white and black I did this because I wanted my masthead to jump out but I also did this because it complements my model and I believe that it makes the main image stand out. Most other magazines try not to use red for their masthead colour because there are a lot of colours that does not work with red, however I decided to use it as I thought that it would make my magazine stand out more from any other magazines.
My media product challenges forms and conventions of media products because of where I placed my price, date and issue number, I placed them above my masthead and to the right rather than beneath the masthead, I did this because I thought that it looked better and you would still be able to see it when my magazine was stacked up in shops.
Furthermore I have decided to keep my magazine quite conventional with some differences so that it looks different, my deconstructions helped me see what the usual conventions were and therefore helped me make some changes to my magazine to make my magazine different.
