- 1. 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? By Jordan Chesmin
- 2. • My project looks like a music magazine because it replicates many other published/established music magazines. It conforms to majority of music magazines, I didn’t want to subvert from the usual rules because I wanted mine to replicate other genre specific magazines. • My magazine clearly fits into the music genre because of the iconography I decided to use for it. I used one model and simply asked them to give a very aggressive look towards to the camera to represent the genre of ‘Rap/Hip- Hop. • I used a mid/close up shot to show the iconography of the model, in order to represent the genre, by using Photoshop CS6 I have been able to make my magazine look realistic and comparable to others.
- 3. • The similar conventions I have used from established magazine front covers is the size of the headline, a replica masthead, barcode, sell lines, price and date. Throughout the process of making this happen I used XXL magazines to inspire my work and infiltrated crucial conventions of their music magazines. This is shown on the next slide.
- 4. My front cover I was very inspired by NAS XXL
- 6. • It is extremely clear what the genre of my music magazine belongs to. Through not only the use of iconography but through the sell lines which displays artists such as Wretch 32, Chip, Tinchy Stryder, Giggs, K Koke and G frSH. Who are all British born artists who are established within British rap/Hip-Hop. • I decided to use a close up/mid-shot for my front cover to show conventions of the mise-en scene. The model is wearing Dre beats which are very well known headphones for ANY music listener.
- 7. • With the contents page I used quite a few conventions that other music magazines use, such as having the logo of the magazine at the top of the page (normally on the left side)
- 8. • I was mainly inspired by TI’s double page spread as the main image of him is dominated by the left side of the page and the article is on the right side.
