A variation of different smaller images. Instead I have used two dominating images as these are more effective and fit the layout better with the text aswell as not looking unorgansised.

Pull quotes, usually DPS have several pull quotes throughout the text as well as a main one which is more emphasized. However in my DPS I have only included one main pull quote as I felt this was the most important and most associated with the interview. It develops the convention as there is only one which is empahsised rather than a few.

A large dominating image. The images on a DPS engage the reader through either eye contact or doing an action. For my DPS both images are engaging as the one makes eye contact attracting you to the correct visual syntax of reading the headline first. Then the other image is an extreme close up again directing you where to start with the pull quote. Page number is small but effective as it is the only thing in the top half of the page other than the image. This is easily readable and noticed so the reader can navigate easily. My DPS spread is set into two columns, this makes the layout look more organised and professional. The two columns signal where to be read and does not interfere with the image. The head line is bold and is isolated on the first page, this makes it stand out as it is the most important as it summaries what the DPS is about. The white backed with a drop shadow also emphasizes the head line so it is easily seen. Subheadings/questions are more emphasized by a different colour and a bolder text, this helps navigate around the page and organizes the layout. As it is a question and answer formation this shows that the interview was planned and proffesional.

Editors letter, many magazine have single contents pages which do not contain editors letters as there is not enough space. Therefore because of this reason I have not included one in my magazine.

Subscriptions, music magazines usually have large subscriptions to promote their magazine so they can make more money and have a wider audience through different media forms. However on my contents page the subscriptions are at the bottom of page instead of standing out near the top of the page.

The page numbers are emphasized by being bold, being a brighter colour and in a larger font. This is so the reader can be easily be navigated to each page. Each number is the same size within the columns but the numbers associated with the images are larger as these are ore important and interesting to the reader. The cover lines are ranked in least important to most important, this is done so that the least important may be read to get to the most popular cover lines. The cover lines have more emphasis over the captions as these are more important. I have included three different images in my contents page, each associated to a popular story. Again, the images are related to importance, for example an exclusive interview is situated first as it is the most important. The four colour house style black, hot pink, light pink and white have followed through from the front cover on to the contents page helping separate articles and emphasise certain texts. The blurb/captions to the cover lines are less important therefore fit the conventions of being smaller and not as much of a bold colour.

The house style, usually music magazines have a two colour house style such as the music magazine 'Q' with red and black however I have introduced a third and fourth colour being a lighter pink in my magazine to reduce emphasis and separate different cover lines from the main headline which is hot pink and white. The price and barcode is small yet effective because it is easily seen and informative to customers. The issue date/number is also here as they are all associated with each other. Usually on magazines this is at the bottom of the page and is the last thing you look at whereas mine is near the middle of the page as I feel it is important and follows the visual syntax.

The masthead, my masthead ‘LOUD’ is hot pink and black which are contrasting colours that stand out against the white background. The bright pink makes the masthead memorable as the colour sticks in your mind. My masthead also goes across the whole page which engages the reader as it is large and unmissable. My main image is a mid-shot which takes up the whole of the page. This image engages the reader as it makes eye contact. The subject's make-up has been matched with the bright colours of the house styles along with a simple yet effective white t-shirt to make it stand out. The pug/starbust that I have used supports the convention of a front cover because it has something that would be most exciting to the customer which for example in my case is a free poster, this is as a pug as it emphasises the text so it grabs your attention and gives you another reason to buy the magazine.

When designing a media product there are many key conventions that have to be considered. Conventions form the best type of media product but there are some music magazines which challenge these conventions.
