evaluation qestion 1: in what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real music magazines?

Mastehead:
in my magazine I used the one word msatehead which is very popular among successful magazines for example their is kerrang, NME, Q, VIBE and many more.....for my mastehead I used the title undiscovered with wrestlemaina font from dafont , this has a big impact on the reader because it catches their eye and tells them what the magazine is mainly about.for my mastehead i mainly followed the usual conventions of a magazine in the way a mastehead looks which is, at the top and the center of the page, big on the page and  have a eye catching font.
overall i tried to follow the main conventions used for a real magazines mastehead as they have been proven to be very popular among my target audience, this is shown by kerrang and NME in their popularity 

front cover:
 for my front cover i tried to go a traditional as possible, by traditional follow all the typical conventions of the typical music magazine cover, I did this because i wanted the front cover to be simple and not to chaotic and in all the magazines Ive researched all of them have the normal front cover a single picture with a few sell lines with maybe a feature specific to the magazine

contents page: 
i think my contents page challenges the conventions of a professional music magazine, for example i have slanted the contents title and have made it diagonal which you don't see in other magazines. i used this to add my own originality, i also used a band index which i have only seen in one other magazine and using it in my magazine will allow the reader to navigate my magazine with ease
