3. Conventions
we did use:

Columns I decided to use columns for the
interview on my double page spread as it helps it to look a lot more unified
and professional

Conventions
we didn’t use: 

There was no other convention that I did
not choose to use. However I did add my company logo on the double page spread
which is not featured on this particular magazine but is conventional of
others. This was to remind the audience of what magazine they are reading and
create a clear link.

2. Pull
quote; One
convention of a double page spread that I have used is taking a quote that was
featured on the front cover of the magazine and making it stand out on the
page. This has been done in order to draw my target audience in from the front
cover to the double page spread. I have also chosen to use the most eye caching
and interesting quote to make sure that it has its full intended effect. It
also makes the double page spread look more aesthetically pleasing as it stops
it from looking like it was full of words which was one thing that I found my
target audience did not like in the research section of my production.

In relation to Richard Dyers Utopian theory this solves the social tension of dishonesty and replaces it with the idea of transparency this is as they can clearly see that they got what was offered to them on the front page (an article on Kelsie) and the use of the pull quote emphasises this.

1, Colour:
One
convention of a female music magazine double page spread that I have chosen not
to use is the colour pink, this is because the colour pink is stereotypically
associated with younger females, as my target audience are older teenagers the
colour pink would not be fitting for them. Also as the rest of the magazine is
orientated around the colours red, grey and black the double page spread must
also follow this theme in order to make sure that the whole magazine links
together. Despite this thou colour of the artists clothes on this particular
magazine is mainly orientated around the colours grey and black, these are
similar colours to the ones in which my artist is wearing in her pictures
showing that although I have subverted from the main colour scheme of female
music magazines. I have conformed to some of the other colour preferences that
are featured in magazines through my artists costume code.

By conforming to the normal conventions for the costume code of my artist offers my audience safety needs in relation to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, this is as my audience feels safe in the conformity of this convention

2. Camera
Angles: One
convention that I did not use was a mid shot camera for the image of the artist
on the contents page. Instead I decided to use a close up of my models face.
This has been done to show my target audience how important my artist actually
is especially because my chosen genre of magazine is normally represented as
having artists that are full of themselves and people that always want to be
the centre of attention.

In relation to Richard Dyer's Star theory which states that a star is an image and not a real person they are constructed out of a range of material. This would show that my artist may not necessarily be full of herself or want to be the centre of attention however I have had to construct her in this way in order to fit in with the conventions of this genre.

1Font: One
convention that  I did use on the
contents page of my magazine was the font for the title of it. I have chosen to
use a bold sans serif font. This is as it draws my audiences attention directly
to it. The big bold writing also relates to the genre of my magazine and Hip
Hop and R&B is stereotypically seen as being a bold genre. I have also
chosen to form the letters in the same way, this is because it is different
from the normal layout of a contents page. This offers the audience a sense of
abundance through offering them something that is slightly different, However I
have developed this convention in order to fit it in with my magazine by making
a thin outline of the colour red around each letter. This helps it to tie in
with my magazine thus helping the audience to see a clear theme.

3. Other
conventions I did
use:

Features: I have included a large amount
of features on the contents page of my magazine which is as convention of many
magazine’s contents pages. This is as it gives my audience a large variety of
stories  to choose from thus making them
more likely to want to buy the magazine.

Other conventions I didn’t use: Page numbers: although I did use page numbers on the contents page of my magazine I decided to put the page numbers in separate boxes which is not a convention of most contents pages. This is as it makes the page numbers stand out, which makes it easier for my audience to find what they are looking for.

2. Masthead:
One
convention that I did not use on the front cover of my magazine is having the
masthead stretched on the top of the magazine, instead my magazine name is in a
box on the left hand side of the magazine. This has been done to offer my
audience abundance as it is seen as being something different and subverts from
the normal conventions of a magazine. Despite this as it is a music magazine
the box almost resembles a CD cover this shows that although I have chosen to
challenge the normal conventions of a music magazine it still relates to the
genre making it very relevant.

In relation to Richard dyers Utopian theory it solves the social tension of dreariness that can be found in some magazines that always conform to the same masthead at the top of the magazine, and replaces it with intensity as the audience is presented with something which is eye catching and different.

1Colour
Scheme: In
my magazine we used the colour red despite the fact that the initial plan was
to use the colour blue. Red has clear connotations of danger which is
representative of the genre of my magazine. As seen on the cover of Vibe
magazine which is based around the same genre as my own the colours red and
black play a consistent roll. This shows that I have conformed to the normal
conventions for the colour of Hip Hop and R&B magazines however, on the
front cover of my magazine I have integrated the colour grey. This has been
done in order to give the Hip Hop and R&B genre a more feminine feel thus
developing the conventions. This makes the audience feel like the magazine is
tailored to them.

3. Other
conventions I did use:

Direct address. In the front cover of my
magazine the model looks directly at the camera. This makes the audience feel
as if she is looking directly at them making it easier for them to relate to
her.

# data[].attributes.body
Other conventions I didn’t use: The model does not cover part of the magazine on my front cover. This is as my magazine is new thus is not easily recognisable as yet. Making it easier for my target audience to recognise it. In the future my magazine will become more recognisable enabling me to follow this convention.
