I put the main image on the right page of the double page spread. I have concluded from research I done by looking at existing products that the main image is more commonly found on the on the left page. I developed this convention as its suits the layout of my double page spread better and it allows my article to stand out from others

I think my DPS has met the conventions of a DPS as i haven't really challenged any stereotypes. This is because my magazine is a mainstream magazine for people that follow the crowd. Many people like the way pop magazines are laid out so i decided to follow a common layout and adapt it slightly

"My front cover is going to challenge the normal stereotypes of a popular music magazine.
The image will mainly dominate the page and I will include a close up or a mid shot of the model. I am going to do mainly studio shots using a white back drop. I will also make use of different costumes and props too. Using a plain backdrop will allow my model to be the main focus of the image which will allow it to stand out to potential readers. I also aim to make use of different camera angles and shot types to get unique images. I would like my model to have eye contact with the camera as it makes the image stand out more to readers but the model is going to do a range of poses making use of facial expression and body language."

Challange, Moat popular music magazines are very busy and loud. From first designing my magazine I wanted to design a 'minimalistic' front cover. Which i can successfully say i have achieved.

The main image - Directly addresses the reader. The image should instantly catch the readers eyes and should draw the reader in creating a connection between the reader and the magazine. This is normally achieved by the model looking into the camera. Also there is only one image used

The masthead - The largest and most noticeable text on the page as it is the name of the magazine. Most magazines have their own unique font and are usually one or two words maximum.

The bar code - Appears on the front cover of the magazine

Consistent fonts and colour scheme - Helps to make a house style for the magazine which is important to gain a brand identity. Having a consistent colour scheme and font makes magazines look more professional.

Clear layout & visual syntax- Order of how things are laid out for the reader to read

Coverlines - Used to gain reader interest. Cover lines should make the reader want to find out more about the article. coverlines are the second biggest text on the magazine and are done with few words as possible they make them breif to attract the readers eye.

Sublines - They just give a little more information on the article.

Buzz words - These are words that attract reader attention E.g. WOW, FREE AND EXCLUSIVE

Puff - They are words or phrases on the cover of a magazine used to boost status
