My magazine challenges conventions of a double page spread because I have included a post it note about the artist on the second page. This is because Holly is a new artist that people might not know about so the note gives them more basic information about her and her life. The post it note style is unique, memorable an easy to read.It will help the reader get to the know the artist more and it can encourage them to read the article.

My double page spread develops conventions by having 2 images of my artist on the page. This shows Holly at different angles and it gives her a different perspective to the reader. Also, I have developed the convention of having a pull quote however I have put it around the 2 columns of text so that it stands out more. This means that more people will be able to see it as they are reading the article and it makes the page look more interesting.

My double page spread follows the convention of having and image where the artist is looking directly at the camera towards the reader. This is making direct contact with the audience. The double page spread conducts an interview in which the writing is written in 2 columns. his is similar to the other magazine articles where there is either one large column or 3 columns. My article has 2 pull quotes which stand out as they are in a different colour. These are a popular and common convention of a magazine of all genres as it gives a small quote from the artist.

Conventions on the double page spread include a range of images (between 1 and 3) as this makes it visually appealing for the audience to read but also, the text needs to be displayed in a readable font. The conventions of a double page spread include a large image with smaller images, a pull quote, a variety of fonts and sizes, drop cap, columns, magazine name, similar colour scheme and page furniture such as page numbers.

I have challenged the conventions of contents pages by using a variety of colours. This is because most contents pages of music magazines that I have researched use a lot of black and white colours. I have used similar colours of my front cover and contents page  such as the turquoise blue so that the audience notices a pattern and a similarity. I have tried to use softer and more pastel colours on my contents page so that it contrasts with the grey.

I have developed the convention of having 6 images on my contents page. this is more than any other magazine that I have seen which means that I am showing the audience a range of visual pictures which helps them to understand what is inside. The 6 images are varied in size which means that it creates a difference for the reader. It also empathizes the most important articles by having a bigger image.

My contents page follows the conventions by having a full length column on the right that includes all the contents of the magazine. This is listed in an organised structure and is split into sections- features, news, regulars and reviews. This is written in capital letters and is on a black background so that the writing stands out. In the column, my magazine follows the convention of having clear and bold page numbers detailing where everything is. This makes it convenient for the audience to find what they want to read. My main artist, Holly, is the largest image on my contents page and she is in a prominent position. This makes her the focus which is the convention of a magazine as she is my featuring artist. Also, Platinum follows the convention of having an editors letter as I have one at the bottom of the page which introduces the audience to the magazine and gives a brief overview of what has been happening at Platinum and what is in this issue of the magazine.

The contents page will include more of a balance of text and images to give the reader more information on whats inside the magazine. Following conventions means that it is easier for the reader to know what to look at and how to find the information they need. The contents page is there to include conventions such as page numbers, cover lines, a mix of smaller images and larger images, editors letters, columns, contact information.

I have challenged the convention of the anchorage text. This is because I have not included a pull quote from what the artist has said, instead I have included a more general text which means the audience will know the topics covered in the interview rather than knowing a quote. I feel like this is better because it gives the audience more information about the artists interview. Also, my pug is different to what many music magazines use. This is because I have used a round pug with information on the inside split up by different coloured layers. This is eye catching and unique to my magazine as I have used 4 different colours that support my house style.

My magazine has developed conventions by using a range of colours. I have used 3 different colours on my cover, white, purple and turquoise. The mix of these colours means that different pieces of text on the magazine stand out such as the text in on the right hand side is the names of the artist and the details of the story are written in other colours. This means that the artist can stand out and be seen straight away and this can attract the audience to buy my magazine. Also, the varying sizes of text that I have used on my magazine cover empathizes certain points again and provide visual syntax. The words 'exclusive' and 'top music videos' are smaller than the artists name. This is so that it crates a variety and it is eye catching for the audience to read. The banner at the bottom of the magazine is a development of showing the audience what is included in the magazine. This attracts the readers as it gives more information on the Brit Awards

My music magazine follows the conventions of others by having a large masthead in capital letters at the top of the page. My magazine is called Platinum which is appropriate to the genre and style that I want my magazine to be. It is only one word which makes it easy to read and means it is memorable to the audience. I have followed the convention of having one large main image on the cover. My model is looking directly into the camera as if to catch the audiences attention. It is a mid shot which means my model can show some body language in the image. My headline of Holly has been placed centrally at the bottom of the page. It has been kerned so that the text  has more emphasis and presence on the page.

Conventions are something that magazines follow so that their media product looks similar to others that are available. This is so that the audience can recognise it is a magazine straight away and they will be able to tell what genre is it due to the way the person looks on the cover, the colours used and what the text says. It allows for a media product to look professional and good quality if conventions are followed. Conventions can also be developed and challenged to make your magazine look unique and to make it stand out to the audience. For example, putting the masthead in a different place such as down the side rather than along the top, like the majority of magazines do. Conventions of a music magazine front cover includes, the masthead, an main image, cover lines, barcode, price, pug and a web address.
