will making my music magazine i tried to include as many conventions as i could what make it look like any music magazine in the media today. Conventions are things such as coverlines, masthead, barcode, main image and date.
I also have included cover lines on my front cover, these show what is included inside and are some of the main stories involved in the magazine. on these cover lines i included artist names who feature in the rock music industry and who will draw the readers of my magazine in thats why i used 'Noel Gallagher' and 'The Artic monkeys'. i placed my cover lines to the right of the main image as this is used on many magazines.
I added a barcode to my magazine to make it look more authentic. i added this to the bottom left corner, i placed the price, issue and date in the right hand corner. i did this after looking at other magazines i could tell this is a amain convention what needs to be included.
I included a main article what i placed centre of the magazine going from right to left, i put this in bigger font so it draws the reader in. i used a different font colour so that it stands out from all of the other font on the front cover. i used the headline 'Will Lawton speaks out' this may intrigue the reader to buy my magazine, I also used the word 'Exclusive' this showing that it includes an article no other magazine would have.
I included a masthead as it is on of the main conventions of any magazine, i then was able to use the same name i used on my masthead throughout the magazine to keep up a consistent theme the whole way through. Many music magazine readers will be able to tell that it is a music magazine from the name 'Vibes' and not just from looking at the images and cover lines that i have used.
