In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of media products?
How I followed the codes and
conventions usually seen on a
magazine cover.
Both mine and Kerrang magazines have similar
codes and conventions on the contents page.
Kerrang has subheadings to show the audience the
key points that the magazine will focus on, similarly
Distortion also has subheadings. My magazine is
also very alike to the Kerrang one as they both have
clear page numbers displayed to help determine
what information is on what page. You could also say
that my contents page is set out similarly to the
other one as my main image is on one side of the Words in red Codes and
page as the information is on the opposite side. Both
models on both magazines show no direct address, Conventions used
this may be because the front cover had a direct
address toward the audience, creating variety I the
magazine. The fonts that have been used on both
magazines stay consistent through the contents
page, this is another similarity on the contents page.
This choice was made due to the front page
including multiple different fonts, using the same
font on the contents page avoids boring the
audience. These are the codes and conventions I
have followed. These are the similar codes and
conventions I have used compared to Kerrang.
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and

How I challenged the codes and
conventions usually seen on a
magazine cover.
On my contents page I have included a
description on my main picture to give
information on the image whereas Kerrang
have not done this. Kerrang's rock magazine
includes an editorial, in contrast mine includes
another image instead. My masthead appears
on my contents page and is the same size that
is it on the front page. Kerrangs mag contains
Words in red Codes and
no sign of the fact that it is their contents page.
Another difference between my magazine and Conventions used
Kerrang includes colour scheme. The colour
scheme on Distortion contains the exact same
colours shown on the front cover, whereas
Kerrang use only yellow and black, removing
the colour red when progressing into the
contents page information. Finally the main
image shots are different , the Kerrang image is
a closer picture compared to the Distortion
picture. These are the differences in the two
magazine contents pages and their codes and
conventions.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and

How I followed the codes and
conventions usually seen on a
magazine cover.
Both mine and Kerrang magazines have
similar codes and conventions on the double
page spread. Kerrang yet again has
reoccurring colours throughout the double
page spread, as does Distortion, this keeps
something consistent in the magazines
helping to sell more products. Stereotypically
the majority of magazines in general have a
drop cap at the beginning of the article, Words in red Codes and
usually in the Stan first which we both also Conventions used
have. Both mine and Kerrang magazines have
not subverted this stereotype. Headlines in
another technique I have used to copy the
Kerrang magazine. All models on both
magazines show direct address, I have also
copied this magazine in that way as I feel like
it engages the audience. Picture credit has
been stated in both magazine double page
spreads, this gives the audience the
information of who took the picture/s. Another
similarity between the Distortion magazine
and the Kerrang magazine is that we both
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and

How I challenged the codes and
conventions usually seen on a
magazine cover.
On my double page spread I have included a
few elements that the Kerrang magazine did
not. I added a by-line into my magazine as it
shows who actually wrote the article, Kerrang
did not do this. Our magazines have a different
choice of shot sizes on the double page spread.
Kerrang have used a medium shot as I have
used a long shot. Kerrang may have added a
medium shot to display the artists to closer to Words in red Codes and
the audience. I used a long shot as I wanted the Conventions used
audience to see what the models are wearing
and what props they're using. Finally our
magazines have a different amount of models
in each. These are the differences in the two
magazine double page spreads and their codes
and conventions.
