I have developed the convention of my pulled quote as I have used two different fonts for the text. This is not something you see in normal double page spreads which means this is unique to my double page spread which could mean more people will be interested in reading my article.

On page 32 of the double page spread, I have used a watermark which makes my double page spread look more professional and will intrigue the reader. As you can see above, the other existing double page spreads do not have a watermark which makes my double page spread unique and challenges the typical conventions.

My double page spread has two columns of text which is a very important convention and this is also used in existing double page spreads. Its good that it is two columns so the text is evened out and not crowded which makes it easier to read. I also have a main image located on the left hand side of the page which is an important convention as it tells the reader who the article is on about. As you can see the existing double page spreads also have a main image which shows it is important. I have also included a stand first which tells the reader some background information on the artist which is also a convention used in the other existing double page spreads. This can be an important thing in the double page spread as the reader may be able to relate to the artist. My house style colour theme for all the products has been kept as well as I have used the colours black, red and white which is the same for the contents page and the front cover. I have also included page numbers which tells the reader exactly what page they are on in the magazine which is a convention used in the other existing double page spreads. I have a pulled quote at the top of page 32 which is a convention used by the far right double page spread which can draw a reader in to the article.

I have added the date of when the magazine was published and that isn't normally shown on a contents page so that challenges a convention. Also I have a little extra article which says single of the month which gives that little bit of extra information to the reader which isn't normally located on a contents page and their isn't anything like that on the other existing contents page which makes it unique.

My contents page has a masthead on the top of the contents page which is a convention of a music magazine as the examples shown above also have their masthead located on their contents page. I have also have a large column on my contents page which lists the Features and Regulars of the magazine. This is a very important convention as it tells the reader what is in the magazine and as you can see, other existing magazines have a large column of their magazine because if there was know column, then people wouldn't know what is in the magazine. Another convention is that there is a larger image on my music magazine. This is similar to the other existing music magazines as they have a larger image which is normally the main part of the article. I also have smaller images which are in my music magazine and this also follows a convention. I have also got page numbers on my music magazine which is an important convention as people wouldn't know where to find that article and this is similar to the other existing music magazines. I also have cover lines which is an important convention and this is also included in the other music magazines.

I haven't used a pug on my front cover of my magazine which a lot of existing music magazines have used but I felt like a pug wasn't needed on my front cover so I didn't include one. My magazine also has a barcode in the top left hand corner but as you can see in the other magazine examples, the barcode isn't in the top left hand corner so that challenged the convention

I have also used three colours of white, red and blue which go well together and make my project look professional. I have got cover lines on my front cover but I haven't put much extra information which is different to the other magazines as they have text below the the artist.

my music magazine has a clear and simple masthead with the magazine name of Loaded going across the top of the front cover with a medium sized font. As you can see this follows the convention of the other music magazines shown as two out of the three existing music magazines are shown to have their mastheads going across the page as the one word is will be easy for people to remember. My front also has one main image covering most of the page. I have used a medium shot for my front cover of my model as you can see all of his upper body. This is like the magazine Q as you can see a lot of their models upper body. My model is looking straight at the camera looking aggressive with half of his face covered to show he wants to be mysterious. The main headline is the word TEEJ an this has the biggest font out of all the other wording on my magazine front cover. This is the biggest font as it is the most important part of the front cover as the main article is about TEEJ in the magazine so the reader will know the magazine is based around TEEJ. This is a typical convention used as Billboards front cover has Rihanna as the biggest font in the magazine which shows that is the most important part of their magazine. The cover lines around the main image are well known artists and other important parts in the magazine which are also shown to attract readers to the magazine. This is a convention used in other music magazines as shown in all three other magazines as they have other artists listed and also important parts which they want to include on their front cover. I have also included banner at the bottom of the page which fits the convention of other magazines as Q have used a banner at the bottom of their magazine.

It is important for media products to follow conventions as this will help a media product look professional and look like a media product which looks good. A media product needs to be of a high standard as people in cases of a music magazine will be buying the product which means it needs to be of a high standard for people to be interested in buying the product. Most people will not challenge the normal conventions because people don't feel the need to challenge the conventions if they work well but people may develop the conventions to make their products look more unique.
