LO3: following codes and conventions

These two magazines are similar as both models in the photos are wearing similar clothes doing similar poses as this follows the conventions of the rock genre. Banners are put over the words to make them more readable in the real magazine so that is what I have done in my magazine. The main coverline is big and is anchored to the main cover photo, this also stands out a lot with the artists name being the biggest I have followed this convention as It means that the main feature is advertised the most and if this singer or band on the front cover is someone that the audience likes it means they are more likely to read the magazine. I put more coverlines on around the photo this is used in the Kerrang magazine as it advertises the magazine even more which they want as it increases the likeliness that someone's going to pick up the magazine. I used similar colours to Kerrang as blue and yellow are very energetic and bright colours which really fit in with this genre.

My magazine follows the layout of Kerrangs contents as this is a easy to read and navigate design where the the sections and pages are clearly shown down the right side and there is a main photo on the left this is here as it is the most important page so it gets a lot more advertisement then the rest of the pages as it is more likely to interest the reader. The editors section is on the bottom as it is the least import part of the contents page. At the top is the masthead again, to create a brand and contents written out clearly to clearly show the reader that this page is the contents.

The picture has a whole page to itself as this person is really important and so is shown off to the audience as much as possible. The section that this DPS is in is shown clearly in the top left corner as this gives the audience an idea of what the article is roughly going to be about. Another thing that gives the audience an Idea of what the article is going to be like is the title and sub-title, the title is usually a quote of the name of the person because the reader may not know who it is. The sub title explains more about the person and what is actually going off at that point in their life just to fill the reader in. The interview is distinctly separated into questions and answers with mine the font colour changes with Kerrangs the questions are highlighted.
