Conventions of My AS Music Magazine

The convention I used on the Cover of my magazine include;

• The Masthead = Was positioned at the top of the page, however did not fill the top but was to the left hand side such as NME or Q. I downloaded a unique and signature font to create the magazine brand. The mast head was coloured a bold purple. Often red is used so I slightly deviated from common conventions.
• The Cover Image = Took up nearly the entire cover and was a mid-shot, common of most magazines. The model was the central focus of the cover and represented the magazine brand and genre.
• Issue Headline = I positioned this central to the page and used a complementary but different font to that of my mast head. Below the main headline was also a quote from the feature band of the issue which is commonly seen.
• Contents Details = Bold, down right side of page, containing main categories of magazine contents.

The conventions I used in the Contents and Double page spread include;

• Maintaining my colour scheme off purple across all elements.
• Using the same three fonts across both.
• Using my 'RAW' title as a logo in the corner across both elements.
• Having category headings in my contents and a subscribe advertisement.
• Having an image of my feature band in the contents.
• Having the image cover around half my DPS.
• Having highlighted quotes throughout my DPS article and using dropped letters at the beginning of each new paragraph.
