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

My media product uses, develops and challenges the forms and conventions of real media products in one way or another. My front cover for instance, challenges the forms and conventions of many music magazines as in conventions it is simplistic and plain with not much variety in images either. However, although these conventions go against the typical conventions of music magazines it does manage to stick to the conventions of typical 'Indie' magazines of which I had researched. I felt that this was vital for the genre I had chosen as it is not very mainstream or popular as other genres, also I felt that this would make it much easier to appeal and reach out to my target audience so that they can recognise the genre of my magazine.
My Images:
The images I had chosen to take and use for my production only featured one subject/model and were made to look plain and simplistic. I had considered the Mise-en-scene of my images and although I had the option to include a variety of backgrounds, I instead chose to keep a white background for my images and focused more on the compositions of the photos. I felt that this stuck to the typical conventions of music magazines of my genre. But also develops forms and conventions of real media products even in 'Indie' magazines as I have shown a new layout and integration of my images.  
Font:
My font again also sticks to the typical conventions of an 'Indie' magazine but not so much of other mainstream genres. I chose to use an informal font for my subheading on my front page as this is a typical trait on most 'Indie' magazines and I felt that this showed a nice contrast to the font of my masthead.
Layout:
The layout of my front cover, contents page and double page spread also challenges forms and conventions of real media products in the market. I have chosen for my contents page to have minimal images by only selecting one of the artist in which I had chosen to dedicate to my issue, and have chosen to place my text around it. This uses forms and conventions of real media products as the text on contents pages are usually placed around the images on a magazine.

Ultimately, when looking at my media product I can now see where I have used, developed and challenged conventions of real media products. I feel that I have done this successfully as now my magazine has elements of real media products and also challenges their forms.
