3. I have used a large, bold font to provide the
name of my magazine at the top of the article.
It is at the top of the page because it is telling
you what the page is about, therefore should be
the first thing to read. This breaks the usual
convention of a music magazine because
usually, there would be a masthead saying
‘contents’ not the name of the magazine.
4. The features column on my contents
page is provided to the right hand side
of the contents page. This is a classic
convention of a music magazine because
the vast majority have a single column
to describe the different features of the
music magazine. This form is used to
describe the contents of the magazine
and give the reader a taster as to what
they will be getting if they purchase this
magazine.
5. I have used multiple page numbers. This form
is used in order to provide the artist with
information on where they can locate the
specific contents with ease.
The headers I have used are designed to be
bold and to stand out. I have done this by
putting a back graphic on them to make them
jump out and by using an arrow graphic to
point towards the headers. This makes the
readers eye be attracted towards the headers.
6. My artist is presented to be
gazing into the distance at a
slight 45 degree angle to the
camera. I chose this pose
because it links in with the pull
quote of ‘I made glastonbury a
night to remember’. The fact
that he is staring away suggests
that he is remembering the
night and wants the audience
to do the same.
This is not a common
convention of music magazines
because there is no eye contact,
however I felt it worked well.
7. I have presented the other two images to be
stern looking. I have used this form to create a
tense feeling between the two due to them both
going head to head for the number one record
in the charts.
8. I have followed the same colour scheme from
my contents page through to my article in
order to create a smooth transition and follow
the theme. This is a convention because most
music magazines do not drastically change
their colour schemes throughout.
