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

My magazine resembles a real magazine because of the different conventions my partner and I used. The different conventions we used were:

• A large masthead with the title in bold , quirky writing to grab the audiences' attention
• Several screamers and puffs across the magazine, such as 'the number one dance magazine!'
• A main sell which draws the reader in - a chance to win a trip to meet the number one dance choreographer.
• House colours - bright pinks and greens which fit with our ambition of creating a stylish, youthful dance magazine. The lively colours represent youth and fun.
• A model as the backdrop of the magazine who fits with the style of the cover. She looks very punky, unique and like she does a lot of dancing which fits with the magazine style.
• A subheading with the tagline 'Breaking the mould of dance...' with an elipses to draw the reader into buying the magazine.
• In the contents page, we kept the house theme of vibrant pink and green which represented youth due to their energetic colouring.
