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

My music magazine was a Urban music magazine , in most Urban and Hip-Hop magazine's they use bold font's and bright colours. In order to keep this convention the same I decided to use bold fonts and colours like red and black that stand out to people that would be looking at the magazine. I did this in order that people that normally read these genre of magazines would notice that my magazine is of the same genre.

I have used the same two colours throughout my front cover and my contents page and kept all the fonts the same. The two colours that I have stuck too are red and black. On my double page spread I am going to add a different lighter colour so that I challenges the normal conventions of having the same colours all the way through which is what you would normally see in a Urban music magazine . The reason that I am going to do this is so that I can make my magazine unique and although it will look like a typical Urban music magazine it will have its only little twist to it .
On most magazine's there is a selling line 'UK's best selling urban music magazine' in a way i have chosen to develop this by not writing a selling line but instead a tag line which say 'the base to your urban music'. As the magazine is called Base it ties in well and i feel that it fits it perfectly . Also this may draw more people in to read the magazine.
