I decided to not use the convention of having a coverline with the headline, this is because I didn't want to make the page look overcrowded. Also, the size of the pull quote meant that it can act as a coverline as it sets the tone of the article. Similarly, I used two different banners which are not typically used on a double page spread. I used this because of the colour scheme which meant the photo was black and white, therefore the banners were meant to stand out and point it out as important and useful - it still keeps in with the house style as it is purple colour.

Minimal page furniture is used so that the page is able to flow easier, with the minimalistic style it makes it look more professional. The end of the article which acts as the summary is in a different colour to seperate it and illustrates to the reader than change in person talking. The title of the page carries over but not the whole way this is because it show the continuous style but allows the photo to dominate the spread. The photo also is devloped in that the article doesn't fit around the photo, but rather it overlaps because it has followed onto the second page.

The title moves onto both pages to show how the article is continuous, therefore making it flow easier, and following conventions. The main image is large and takes up a big proportion of the page, it follows conventions in the way that it shows her importance in the article. Similarly, the use of direct address in the image also follows the typical conventions. To accompany the image I used a pull quote to create interest and give the readers a quick idea of what the context of the interview is, this convention acts as a small overview that can show the personality of the article and can set the tone. It has an informal tone to allow the magazine to connect to the audience on a more personal level, the smaller text size from the main article allows more information to be fit in on the page. The drop cap follows conventions as it is a different colour but still keeps in with the house style, which can similarly be seen in the stand first as it is more bold and a slighlty larger text, but it still allows the drop cap stand out becuase it is not the same colour.

Drop cap - In a different size, bold and sometimes a different colour to show where to start and make the page look organised.
Page furniture - Offers other information and causes reader interaction.
House style - same from the fron cover and contents page to show continous style.
Informal tone - Conversational tone which fits with the style of the interview.
Title - Often bold and crosses both page to link them and make it more continuous.

I changed the images used into a black and white tone which then differs from conventions, it still keeps in the house style of the magazine but it is different because the images are usually edited in a bright tone. I have edited my images in a black and white tone too make it look professional and as if the company takes their music seriously, encouraging the readers too as well.

The coverlines are split into more than two sections, which is typically the conventions. I wanted illustrate how much my magazine has to offer, it suggests that the magazine has been cleverly thought out and well organised. Instead of giving a date with the issue, I used a website which illlustrates how the magazine is modern because it involves online interaction and shows how the magazine can come in another form than print. It improves it in the way it can target more than one audience and shows a variety of mediums that the magazine has to offer which helps to from an identity and attract readers.

To break up the text and make it seem less crowded, I used another image at the bottom of the page which therefore meant that the right hand side of the page had less writing and seems more organised. Furthermore, the use of page numbers with the writing and captioning the main image, followed conventions and allowed the contents page to look professional and give it clarity when reading. The numbers I used were in a large bold and clearly on show which follows the conventions which therefore allows the magazine features to be separated but also hold a lot of information. It also follows typical conventions through the use of subscription box which then makes it look professional as it shows popularity and how involved the readers can be. I have arranged my text into a column on one side of the page following conventions which therefore gives the features clear and consise - stopping the image from seeming overcrowded.

My front cover doesn't feature a pug or starburst, I have done this because I wanted the focus of the magazine to be on the coverlines and article features rather than free products. Futhermore, the banner at the bottom of the page gives the audience extra information which may have been used in a pug, therefore there is no need for a pug to take up extra space that could be used for extra information. I have challenged this because I thought that readers would be more interested in seeing the wide variety of artists and learning as much as possible from the front cover, rather than having a pug.

The masthead of my magazine is short and memorable which is typical of conventions. However, the difference in size of the two words isn't typical as they are usually either one word or if more they are the same size. It draws enthasis to the second part of the title and gives it a modern style that can fit with the convention but also "Record" font gives the magazine a vintage style. I have developed a vinatge influence on the masthead in order allow my magazine to stand out against the others in the market but is still modern enough to be appropriate to the genre and appeal to different audiences

The masthead of my magazine, "Record Smashers" is short, memorable and relevant to the genre of being a music magazine. It goes across the top of the page and is partly hidden by my model, this is a common convention which can be seen in magazines such as Vibe and Billboard. My photo of my artist follows conventions because I used direct address and had the photo take up the majority of the space available and is in the centre of the page, I used a solo artist in order to allow the rest of my front cover to fall around the edges and give a more zoomed in image to the face. It has a large headline which is towards the bottom of the page but overlaps my image on the chest, it follows conventions in the way that it is noticeable, one of the largest fonts on the page to draw the reader's attention and is relevant to the image. Coverlines fall either side of the image and range in font, size and colour but are in a considerably smaller font than the headline. Within the coverlines, the names of the artists are in a slightly larger font as they are more important and likely to draw the reader in - none of them overlap with the image like seen in existing products and because they aren't the same artist. The use of a barcode, issue number and price give the reader important information and make it look more professional. Use of a banner at the bottom of the page is of typical conventions as it gives extra information as to what is included to attract readers. To maintain a house style which is a key convention that all magazine follow, I kept a regular colour scheme of black, white and purple as well as having approximately four font styles it creates variety but doesn't make the page look crowded or busy

Photo - It shows an artist or group which the main article if focused on.
Headline - Short with a few amount of words which is catchy and relevant to the photo.
Coverlines - Show other features in the magazine and can range in size, font and colour to make it stand out - the size will be smaller than the headline so that it does not draw attention from the main focus.
Barcode - Makes it look real and professional
Pug - Most often shows a free product, for example poster, or an advertise a competition. It is often in a different shape or colour so it is separated from the features.

Banner - Usually at the bottom of the page and holds other important information.

Conventions is what something follows and can often be found.
Conventions used can help a magazine find it's house style and make it look professional which maximises it to it's best quality.
Conventions are usually followed, as they work well with the format and style but don't have to be used and can be developed.
