For my Magazine Cover, instead of challenging media conventions, i thought it would of been easier to go along with them, but instead of just sticking to to the stylistics of an independant urban magazine, i added some characteristics of a more mainstream magazine... usually the magazine cover for an urban magazine would have maybe just the main feature artist on the cover with the names of other artists surrounding it like the one on the right. However, other magazines other magazines may only have the name of a certain artist that 
may be the main purpose of the magazine. for example.. Complex magazine only has Keri Hilson in a huge font and the other artist are in a much smaller font and harder to find. My magazine however, has a range of interviews with certain artist, and focuses on the artist in the current single rather than one talking about an album. as you can see fro the image on the left. and instead of having just one artist on the cover i have three. i did a range of photoshoots in which i was able to choose what pictures would of went best on both magazine cover and album. for the magazine cover i had a range of pictures of the characters either by themselves or with each other. The song i chose was made by a friend who allowed me to use his name but not him in the video. as the he was not already famous i thought that making a mainstream video would help to boost his credibilty. i thought that if i made a video that appealed to everyone, it would help expand on audience credability. from the main conventions of an r'n'b video, i changeed the idea of the females being disrespected, from the content of the lyrics there were no diminutives so i wanted to represent that in the actual images of the video. i found that my music video was similar to other r'n'b videos in the sense of having a storyline in it. like this one:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFSO9B1K_xw
