In my double page spread, I challenged the typical convention of using a short title for the page, by extending my title. I also challenge the typical conventions of a double page spread by. My double spread image challenges the idea of typical conventions because the image used is not being taken at a pop event, or red carpet (posh events), its a general photograph with a plain white background, however instead of having lots of fans and people in the background, the couple are dressed smartly as if they are raedy to go somewhere and are taking a natural picture, which would be appealing to my target audience.

How does my Pop magazine double page spread use typical conventions? 

# data[].attributes.body
In my double page spread I used the typical convention of having an image placed on one half on the A3 page, and the other page having the title and text. I followed my house style and colour scheme which follow conventions of music magazines so all the pages fit the genre. As magazines typical have, I also put page numbers at the bottom of the pages. A main convention of a double page spread which I have found in my research is that, the columns of text have 2/ 3 columns of text, I followed this convention as I have used three columns in my spread, making it easy to ready and formal. In between the columns of text, I inserted a pull quote which crosses between all three columns. In the heading of the page : "Baby talk from Marvin and Rochelle"- I used different sizes and colors to make it stand out more, I also made it overall large, which follows on from the conventions, as seen in the images.  I also used the typical convention of adding in a pull quotes somewhere on the page, preferable in the middle of the three columns of text. My double page spread image uses typical conventions of images on a double page spread, as they couple

Usually in a double page spread, the title of the page, is a pull quote, attracting in the audience, however I developed this convention and used a simple title stating what the article is about in a few words: "Baby talk from Marvin & Rochelle"- I choose this title because I eanted a different title which gave out a little more information than just a small title. I developed typical conventions of the double page by using a picture related to the article, however by making it natural and not too much going o nshows the neutral effect of a calm but positive atmosphere, for the target audienc

A common convention of a contents page is to have the coverline text going across the image, howver I developed this convention and places my text in a box in the bottom left of the page. I also developed my contents page by using three colours: Blue, pink and black. Typically contents pages only use two colours

In my contents page I included category headings to sections out the different pages which is usually used in a normal contents page too. I also used capital letters to make the headings stand out: "LATEST GOSSIP", "REVIEWS & NEWS", and "FOR YOU". As the page numbers are essential in making a contents look clear and easy to read, I made the numbers bold, and the same colour, so readers don't have difficulties reading it, as the main point of a contents page is to inform the reader what is inside the magazine. At the bottom of the page, I added contact details about social media and I added a website link, which is a typically convention on the contents page. The main/ larger image on the contents page is of the same model which is om the front cover. I used this because it shows the reader that the main article would be on "Sumaiya Westwood", also reminding the audience that the celebrity is the main priority.

My contents page challenges typical conventions, as instead of placing the smaller images on the side of the page, I placed mine in the middle of the both columns. I did this so my contents page would look more unique.  Usually on typical magazines, they use several mini images as seen on the examples, however I challenged this convention as I only used one mini image, this was because I didn't wante to overcrowd my contents page with images. The contents page is supposed to be a clear, structured page, simply informing the readers what is to be expected on each page, so I added minimum amount of photos. As seen on the examples below.

How does my pop music front cover challenge the typical conventions?

My magazine cover challenges the conventions of a typical pop music cover, as the "exclusive" sign is positioned right at the top of the oage, in the left hand corner. When a magazine is usually "exclusive", it's positioned near the title. I also developed conventions as the bar code on my front cover is at the top of that page, and normally the bar code is placed near the bottom. I have done this because I used the space at the bottom to put my banner in. My main image has been edited and the effect of contrast and saturation has made the image look similar but brighter than the main colour scheme in the magazine. This challenges typical convetnions of mai nimages, as they don't normally change the effect of the image but adding colour and emphasis.

In my final product of the front cover, I developed typical conventions, as I created my own housestyle by adding another effect on dots to make the magazine look more recognisable and unique. I also used three different colours on the pug and coverlines. This develops the usual conventions of pugs and they are usually simple, as seen in the examples.
Another development I included in my magazine cover was the useage of effects on the text. As seen in the image above, I used a glow affect which develops the typically conventions, which normally has a standard type of text in a selected font, and included a drop shadow. However I developed this convention to make my tagline stand out and look more appealing.

For my main image, I have used one model, which is dressed in a red dress. The Mise En Scene of my model is posing, showing a informal facial expression and presents the audience with direct address, as she is looking straight into the camera. This is a common convention of any music magazine as direct address appeals to the audience. My image is an mid-close up, visualising the face features more clearly, which could catch the readers attention easily. The pug on my front cover has been placed at and slight angle on the left side of the page so the cover looks informal, which existing products also tend to use as seen on the example on the right.  The celebrities name "Sumaiya Westwood", is positioned in the centre of the page, in a large font, making it stand out more, and showing it's dominace in the page. This follows the convention of pop music magazines using what holds most importance as the main feature on the cover. The use of capital letters also emphasis the importance of the artists' name. Across the bottom of the page, I placed a banner, including names of other, well known, pop artists which relates to the pug near the top the page. This is advertisement of the event used in the pug, Again meeting the conventions of using some sort of advertisement on the cover.

My pop music magazines' front cover, has a certain housestyle in  which I choose the colours, Pink and blue, with a primary purple and black/white (used at a minimum). My masthead goes across the top of the page, in an italic font, going on top of the image. This is a common convention in pop music magzines as seen in the example below.

Media conventions are used to target to certain audeinces depending on the magazine type. Codes and conventions are also used to study an area of genre. For example, I followed pop music conventions because it would appeal to my audience and to make it look more professional, even if they are altered with.
