Answers to questions

Question 1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (What have you included that we would expect to see on a magazine front cover?)

 My school magazine follows the conventions of a real school magazine because it includes a logo, a masthead, main image and cover lines which are the elements you would expect to find on any magazine. However my main image challenges the forms and conventions of a school magazine because it is of the lockers in school and not an actual student or teacher. I used it because the lockers are associated with the school because they are red which is one of the school colours and everyone around school would recognise and associate them with Plantsbrook. My logo is the school tie which also has the school motto ‘be the best you can be’ written on it, this follows the conventions because it is what you would expect to find on a school magazine because it specifically relates to the school and people would easily recognise it. The cover lines also follow the conventions of a school magazine because they are also directly related to the school and the students would know and understand what they are about and be interested in them.
