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


In our media product we have produced the typical convention of a music magazine. Our product has all the real convention of an actual magazine such as photos, brand identity, barcode, price and extras. From including all these features our product will look very realistic and stand out like the actual magazines that are out in the market. We used black background for one of our house style which our audience can immediately realize as you scheme through the magazine. We used black because regardless of it being a very plain colour we wanted to show it can be very powerful and commanding colour that can really stand out and grab our target straight away. However black can also symbolize darkness and sadness, so we used to show that our magazine includes bad stories such as band splitting up.


We challenge form of convention by selecting a genre which is totally out of the box Funk Music which is also not existed out in the market today. From this we saw the gap in the market and used it as an opportunity to make a unique magazine. Fuck music has also variety of subgenres such as fuck-core, funk rock, funk jam, which wider's our target audience to a high level. We thought this would be very effective because there aren’t many music genre's out their which covers almost all types of music. We thought Funk Music symbolizes many varieties of colours, so we used this idea through out the magazine, where you can see lots of colours are being used starting from the mast head.
