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

After analysing other modern music magazines, I decided to challenge the conventions of these magazines. However, I did use some of the forms and conventions of other music magazines. The photo on my front cover is of an attractive young man, who is fairly normal looking. This is typical of lots of modern magazines. I also use a catchy tag line, that would be repeated on each magazine. Furthermore, on my contents page, I quite formally list the articles in page order, to make the magazine easy to access. Also, my feature is a standard interview.
The price of my magazine is a fairly typical price - £2.50, as the average price music magazine readers are willing to pay. My magazine uses two colours to tie the magazine together, white and black.

But, as I noted before, my magazine is fairly unconventional. My magazine uses many different colours on the front cover and throughout, as opposed to the usual 3 or 4 main colours used to represent a magazine. The image on the front cover is very small, and does not take up the whole page. However, even though it's small, it is placed in the middle of the page, so is still eye catching and central to the front cover. The title is similar - normally it would be at the top of the front cover, but is slightly lower down, to tie it to the image. Because of the bold contrast of white and black, it is still obviously the title, and still eye catching. Furthermore, on the front cover, there is very little information, as opposed to modern music magazines. However I felt that when too much information was added to the front cover, it eventually looked clattered and crowded. Furthermore, reducing the amount of information on the front cover would make my front cover stand out from conventional ones, as it is different and unique, and therefore would encourage potential buyers to open the magazine and read it.
Most music magazines only cover specific music genres, either one or two music types or music from specific eras. Alternatively, they cover only the mainstream genres; the genres that are the most popular. My magazine covers all the different types of music; all the genres. I have discussed why previously.
