1) In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
For my chosen area which was newspaper, I decided to stick to the usual conventions to ensure that it was successful. Through doing this it allows me to take my own spin on current designs within the market, from this my creativity has increased and also my understanding of real media conventions. I have used typical conventions within a local newspaper such as
- Name of the newspaper, masthead, subheading, images, adverts, price, date, website, colour schemes, competitions, a main story, substorys.
- Name of the newspaper, masthead, subheading, images, adverts, price, date, website, colour schemes, competitions, a main story, substorys.
I feel that it was important to use these conventions so that the overall product is recognisable and easy to understand to the chosen target audience. Below are the examples of how I used the conventions and examples from other products in my own way.
