How does my product use/challenge or develop the forms and conventions of real media products?

My product challenges forms and conventions of media products as it includes original photography and text, all of which is constructed by one person as oppose to the typical music magazine which will normally be constructed by a team. Instead of appealing either just men or women, my product attracts both genders, however this is balanced out by the less generic approach which will attract a smaller audience which is intended for young people and is likely to attract followers. It also uses forms and conventions as it uses a limited colour palette and similar set out to most magazine front covers, i.e the sell lines at the side, a central image of an attractive person to draw the viewer in. In addition, I have researched other magazines and their methods to attract the right audience which have influenced the layout of my conents page, my front cover and less so my feature.
