These are the conventions of current music magazine that I found after evaluation of similar media products
I have included all of these within my media product which represent and fit in well with the design of my magazine. The double page spread contains an image that covers the whole 2 pagesd with the writing filling the space that the image doesnt, this has worked well and is comparable to other media products as a double page spread usualy contains one main story rather than seperate cover stories. My front cover also has references to other pages within the magazine and many sub headings informing the reader on other sections of the magazine. My front cover also challenges conventions by having a main image that isnt kept within the bnorder of the page althought the top of the page contains the title over the head of "George" as when stood in a magzine rack this is all that will be readable if it isnt displayed on the font of the rack. Many music magazines have a single coloured silhouette of a single artist when my cover has "George" posing with his guitar that overflows over the edge of the page I feel this has worked well as it stands out form the normal and makes my cover interesting because its different. My contents page containes the normal information a contents page includes such as the contents for the magazine but I have used less images than current magazine as many publishers use this page to display many images but I felt this detracted from the importance of this page so I used less images to highlight the information.
