 One way my media product reflects the genre theories is through Steve Neals repetition and difference theory an example of this is how my magazine takes conventions from other and applies them to mine for example the way the font and the colour of the magazine whereas the difference is with the actual content of the magazine as very little magazines talk about the underdogs in the rap game making my magazine incredibly unique as it gives them a chance to gain some spotlight. Another genre theory that this magazine reflects is Jason Mittell's industry uses genre commercially the reason for this is because Mittell states that "Genre is a way of exploiting an audience who enjoy certain types of representation and content " e.g. look at reality TV shows. The way the magazine does this is by exploiting fans of rap music to buy the magazine as they might want to learn of more artists and doing this means that more people will be exposed to these unknown rapper which will give them a better status.

My magazine has the codes and conventions of most magazines such as mise en scene typography and graphology the house style of the magazine some similar to NME and XXL magazines as my magazines are based off their magazines as this is where I got most of inspiration from. For the magazine front cover I added most things that are needed such as a masthead, barcode and a main image. My magazine also got some of the codes and conventions from the 'Classic Rock' Magazines such as the ideas for the contents page and also the cover lines and masthead i got many ideas for my magazine from other magazine

Another genre theory that reflects to my magazine is Rick Altman's generic pleasures theory this is because Altman's theory states that genre "have different pleasure that entertain the audience through how familiar they respond to them". examples as such include, Emotional pleasure, Visceral pleasure and Intellectual pleasure. My magazine can show show visceral pleasure this is because of the designs that I have included into my magazines which will gain a response by my target audience and will possible make them enjoy my magazine more than they would've without the designs.

Another genre theory that reflects to my magazine is David Buckingham's theory that genre has to conform to socio-economic changes and cultural change this is because my magazine had to remove anything deemed not appropriate for example to change things because of culture and how it mind offend certain cultures so I had to make sure that all the content in my magazine didn't offend any cultures and they way to combat this is by getting people from other cultures to see if the content is deemed culturally appropriate. 

Another genre theory that reflects my magazine is Jason Mittell's Theory of Industry uses genre commercially and the reason this conforms to my magazine is because I am using this magazine to boost the name for small musicians and this in turn is beneficial because if they get big people will most likely hear of our magazine and that will make us bigger and this is why this theory is very beneficial
