Here is how my media product uses forms and conventions of real media products:
1. Heading - Both my media product and the professional media product have a clear title, both are easy to remember. I believe mine also has a font that would jump out at a potential buyer when browsing the shelves, as it is a bit informal and kids would prefer that over the block, formal looking heading featured on other magazines
2. Headlines - My media product and the professional product feature headlines for articles that the reader can find within the magazine, the reason this is important is so readers will find an article that will interest them. I believe that my headlines will attract readers well, as a bright colour is featured, this will make the readers notice the magazine in shops, as with the heading the font with my headlines are formal again, this will also attract my target audience well
3. Main subject - Both magazine covers feature one main photograph, this looks more professional i believe as a lot of pictures on the front page can look messy and unorganized, one main photo looks professional and sells the main story of that week
4. Main story heading - This is a feature of any decent music magazine, the amount of money they spend out on getting big interviews they have to get a return, and the main way of advertising the big interviews? Slapping them all over your front page, both my front cover and NME dedicate the majority of the front page to this main article, the heading takes up a lot of this space
