Evaluation: Q1 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

For my ancillary tasks i looked at various cd covers and magazines articles such as Jay-Z, Eminem and 50 Cent. By looking at these i found out that various Rap artists seem to focus on the image of the artist than the actual music. I therefore thought that i would develop these conventions into my own DVD Cover, inside of my DVD Cover and in my magazine article. For my DVD cover i thought that i would use this as my main focus using photoshop's features to change my plain pictures into something that looked professional. I used a simple colour scheme of lilac and blue throughout, as the blue helped the lilac to stand out and as i decided that i would have lewis in a black schoolboy outfit it would help him to stand out and to gain the focus. This was the same for the magazine advert. I put an outer glow around lewis to help him to stand out and as something different. This therefore challenged the forms and conventions as the 'norm' would have been just to have the artist as a picture and the colour scheme to be plain.
