notes to moderator

Dear moderator,

I was given the task of creating a music magazine which contained a front page contents and double page spread, I have tried to use a variety of media technologies to evaluate my tasks.
My magazine is pop music mag with a target audience of young teenage girls.
The begining of this project started with a prelim task in which i soon used the ideas of and developed to help me in my magazine task.


 Thank you

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

In the beginning of my research I discovered that typical codes and conventions of music magazines include all the names of the artists that are going to feature in the magazine, which I have done as a column on the right side of my front cover. They also include an original one worded title like"aze" represents the target audience as teenagers go through "phases" and that includes different interests in varied types of music, so my magazine is for adolescent teens. Its common for music magazines to take words and change the way their spelt for the name.
Magazines such as Q have a head shoulder shot of the artists from their magazine this is a continuous theme through all of their issues. I developed this idea and used a shoulder headshot on my magazine and on my contents page too, this makes it clear to the reader that they are the main focus of the magazine and most of the content is going to be about them.
The magazine "word" contains an image or a band of that magazines genre on the front cover, this helps them grab the attention of their target audience I did the same on my magazine with an image of affront cover of an album with an artist I created which was an indie artist to make my reader more interested.

I used Q's idea of an arched subheading around the model this makes the cover look more slick and is appealing to the viewers eye.

My product challenges the classic layout of the contents page instead of 1 or 2 straight columns going down the page I have set mine out to look like a section of a clock to fit in with artist my main articles about as her album is called "clockwork".
