The masthead of my front cover is across the page from left to right like a banner, making it the first thing the audience sees, in Sans-Serif font which is consideredcontemporary, which attracts a younger audience. The subject of the image is makingeye contact with the camera and therefore the audience, so that the visual syntax goes from the masthead to the image. The headline is in large, Sans-Serif font, which is seen after the masthead as it is not as bold. I have included straplines in purple over atransparency as a type of banner, which doesn't overpower the headline or the coverlines. The coverlines alternate between purple and white font, the purple being used to emphasise band names that appeal to the target audience due to theirgenres. As well as those band names, I have a banner going across the bottom of the cover to add more information about what will be inside the magazine. There is apug/starburst towards the top right of the cover, which balances the page and coverlines out, so that more attention is brought to the image. I havemasked/superimposed the subject of the image over the masthead to bring more attention to her.

The unconventional colour scheme of my front cover may appeal more to the target audience of my magazine's genre. The simplicity of the layout may also appeal to the young target audience.

I believe my front cover challenges the typical conventions of a music magazine cover as its colour scheme and house style uses the colours black, white and purple, as opposed to black, white and red, as is the case with most music magazines usually.

I have given the contents page the title of 'contents', a common convention of all contents pages, no matter the genre. There is a miniaturised masthead, along with anissue date and a web address for the magazine. The page makes use of two columns, one large for images, and one small for page numbers, article names and subtitles of each article. I have used one page. Despite my questionnaire showing that the majority of people preferred a 'spacious' layout to a more 'structured' one like this, many of those people were also mainly fans of pop rather than rock, and after looking through a few rock, metal and alternative music magazines, I have found that they use morestructured contents pages. I have continued the house style and colour schemefrom the front cover so that it still appears to be from the same magazine. There is also subscription information, as well as a miniaturised image of the front cover, as is frequently used in magazines to draw attention to subscription information. I used green text to draw further attention to it, as green greatly contrasts with purple. I have used captions on the images as well.

At first my contents page had only one main image, the top one, which the caption in extremely large font in the empty space beneath, where the two smaller images now are. The two smaller images with captions in front of the images have brought more intricacy and detail to the contents page, making it more interesting to look at and read.

I feel that my contents page may challenge some typical conventions as it is a rock magazine retaining some characteristics of minimalism, conventional of a pop magazine, such as the captions on the pictures, which is unusual in a rock magazine. However, as it is alternative rock and not heavy I feel this suits the genre well.

I have put the title of the DPS to the left so that it is read first through visual syntax. I have put a miniaturised version of my masthead at the top right corner to maintain house style and make the magazine recognisable. I have also maintained house style through keeping the same colour scheme as the front cover and contents page.

In the title of my DPS I have put the artists' names in the largest font on the page, next to an image of both of them together, so the reader knows the article is about these two musicians. In a smaller font underneath the title I have put credit for the photography of the article and the interview so that the reader knows who has photographed and written it. The text of the article goes all the way across both pages of the DPS, and the image also takes up both pages, which shows that both pages are all part of the same article.

The text is laid out in four columns to give it structure, with gutters in between to make it easier to read. I have used a pull quote to draw the reader's attention and further draw them into being interested in reading the article, a popular convention of a DPS. I have also put page numbers at the bottom of each page, a convention found in any kind of magazine.

I tried out black text against a white background, but I felt that it didn't suit my house style as black against white appears more minimalistic, and despite having some minimalistic elements, I'd prefer to keep a busy style as it seems better for a rock genre.

My DPS may challenge some conventions as it makes use of white text against a darker background, whereas with most DPS examples it is vice versa.
