 Q1)In what ways does your media product, use, develop or challenge forms and conventions?

My media magazine uses many media forms and conventions within the whole magazine. However, more specifically I have analyzed examples of images that appeal to particular audiences. I have looked at examples of existing magazines to examine the different uses of codes and conventions within magazine covers, contents pages and lastly double pages. In the magazine covers, there were different uses of codes; some examples of these codes were the different uses of color, language and the main image of the artist. They all had different conventions for example they can connote the genre of the magazine just by the use of language and a main image. I also analyzed the layout of a variety of magazines the main elements of the lay outs were a masthead, a main image, a heading, a sub-heading. These elements are required for a basic magazine cover.
