There are many ways in which the front, contents page, and double page spread of my media products was used to develop, challenge the forms and conventions compare and contrasted to other real media products.
Before I started designing and planning my media product I researched specific magazines which have similar conventions and systems of how they attract their target audience.
The first front cover magazine I found was a magazine called Vibe Vixen, this is shown below.
as you can see from the two magazines below, the one on the left is a real media product called Vibe Vixen and My final media front page product on the right. They both follow many of the same conventions and challenges such as the pugs placed in the top hand corner with a free gift placed on the top.
They both have bold and text which stands out, this also includes bright colours which also stands out to the audience. The text such as the heading is big and takes up most of the page for the vibe vixen magazine, and mine is placed at the top also and is rather big. Going on to the main image which is the vital convention which captures target audiences attention, as you can see vibe vixen uses a famous music artist 'Rihanna', who also matches the theme of the front of the cover as the colours contrast with each other well. This also apply's to my magazine as the clothes she is dressed on matches the colour scheme of the magazine overall. Vibe Vixen fits all there conventions in very well and it is also the style for their to be different fonts and lettering which is all sized different, this is how they attract their particular audience and separate their magazine from other typical magazines. my magazine also does this by the matching 3 but bright colours which also include a different variety of fonts which also fit in well and attract the target audience i was looking to attract. The way that Vixen Vibe positioned their text around the main image of 'Rihanna' is a challenging form and convention which i have also done by placing my text to fit and separate it from the main image so everything shown is clear.
