In comparison to another

music magazine, my

magazine cover has all the

typical conventions of a

real music magazine. I

have chosen a unique

colour scheme as the

indie/alternative music

genre focuses on

individuality and variety.

My contents page fits the

conventions of existing

music magazines. The

contents are split to make it

easier for the audience to

access the article they find

the most interesting. The

colour scheme continues

from the front cover to

make the magazine look

professional.

My double page spread follows the conventions of existing music magazines. By following these conventions and the results of my primary research, I have laid out my page so that there is one large dominating image, A large title that takes up half of the page and an article in 3 columns. The page reflects the genre of the magazine and the artist. To continue the colour scheme, I used it in the page numbers to make sure all pages look like they are from the same magazine.
