The double page spread for my magazine uses a typical convention of having the main headline in capital letters stretching from one side of the spread to the other. This follows the typical conventions, as it is the most important text of the page, so it needs to stand out more and be seen.

I have included two pull quotes. The first goes along the bottom of the page, and the second is above it in the corner of the image. These draw the reader in as they know it is an important part of the article. It lets out a little bit of information, but for it to be useful, they will need to read the full article. This will engage their attention and make them attracted to read the magazine.

I have included an article with 3 columns and a small introduction into the article. This is seen in quite a few double page spreads as it allows their to be enough text, but not too much that it becomes boring and the reader loses interest. The reason I have included it is because of my target audience are fairly young and would not want to be reading large masses of text, in comparison to a middle ages reader.

Commonly, magazines of my genre use long shots for their double page. However, the main image for my double page spread is a mid shot. The reason behind me challenging this convention is because Conor-J is a new up and coming artists. For this reason, the readers of my magazine do not know too much about him. A mid shot allows the viewer to get to know the person as they can see a bit of their body, allowing to grasps an understanding of their style, but also allows them to clearly see their face allowing to see their facial expersions, making it more personal.

For my contents page, I used a double page spread. This isn't seen in all types of magazine such as nme and rolling stone however it was something I saw in the Q magazine, which I found to be a good way to present a contents page.

I have included a title of 'Contents', which is this biggest font on the page, this helps to enhance that this is the most important section on the page as it addressing what page of the magazine you are on. This is a common convention of a contents page, that I have found out from my research. I used the same font for the word contents as I did for the anchorage text on the front cover which says 'Conor-J'. This allows my magazine to attach a house style, using the same or similar types on fonts throughout the magazine.

The main image on the page is of a girl group. Majority of the images that appear throughout my magazine are males, and this is aslo common throughout my research. However, I thought having a girl duo as my main image on my contents page would be an interesting thing to do, challenging the common conventions. Females appearing on a contents page is not something that never happens, however it is more often that there is males as the main image and likely to see a smaller image of a female. The reason behind me doing this was although my main target audience is males, there was still a section of females who read my magazine, and I would like to still appeal my magazine towards them. Also, the female artists are pretty, and this would attact males to the magazine.

I have included page numbers in a non-consequtive format, which is a common convention of my genre of music. This makes it look fun, interesting and easy to locate the article you are looking at. If the numbers were in order, it would make the magazine appear boring and simple, and this is not something I would like for my magazine.

There is a obvious house colour throughout my magazine of shades of blue. This is clearly imputed into my contents page, with blue boxes around text. This adds bursts of colour to the magazine, making it appear cool and fun.

I have included the common magazine conventions of the typical indie rock magazine. I have included a big clear to read masthead, NOISE. This is also the biggest text on the page, aswell as typically seen on other magazines.

Also, there's an anchorage text which says the artists name, this is the typical anchorage text, as seen in the examples with 'JAKE BUGG', 'FLORENCE' and 'CARL BARAT'. Mine says 'CONOR-J'. That is the part of the anchorage text that stands out the most, but there is more text to go with it that typically includes a pull quote from the article. That is seen in the Q magazine and the Carl Barat nme page. NOISE has the pull quote 'I owe it all to Luke Pricthard' as well as a small summary of what the article will be about. It is in a very similar layout to the NME front cover above on Carl Barat. This shows how my magazine strongly uses the conventions of a typical indie rock magazine.

I have stuck to a colour scheme that is my house style of blue colours. This is a convention of a magazine to stick to a house style to boost the brand recognition, however, most commonly for my genre of music, it is reds, but I have used blue. This challenged ts the forms of the real indie rock genre, however, the reason for doing this was at first I used a red theme with a red masthead, but it did not look too great and my target audiences opted against it, so I decided to change it for the benefit of my target audience, so now my magazines colour schemes challenged conventions of real media products. However, to allow my magazine to stick to some sort of conventional colours, I have included bursts of blue in the plug, lines and speech marks.

There is a plug on my magazine which is in a circle. This is commonly how plugs are shown, as seen in the Jake bugg cover and the florence cover above. I have made it red to stand out and add colour to my previously dull magazine.
