Forms and Conventions

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
You should go through the final version of the project and select nine elements which you screengrab and drop into Photoshop. You will be using these to write about how typical or not of music magazines your particular design is, so choose them carefully.Once you have the nine frames neatly in Photoshop, save it as a .jpeg and post it to your blog, then write an analysis of how you have used such conventions.The aspects we would like you to consider across your nine frames are:

1. The title of the magazine
2. Mise-en-scene of images
3. Costumes and props
4. People
5. Title font and style
6. Written content
7. Music genre and how your magazine suggests it
8. Layout
9. Contents pages
