2. In contents pages there are different conventions
that make up the contents page. Contents pages
are separated into two different categories which
are features and regulars. Features will include
information about music artists, upcoming albums
and other news about music artists. Regulars have
nothing to do with artists. These are merely
advertisements, competitions, quizzes and posters.
Other conventions would be;
• The name of the article at the top of the page.
• Main image related to one of the features on the
contents page.
• Colours which are of the same colour scheme of
the front cover.
• Contact information of the magazine company like
their telephone number and their social network
details such as Twitter, Facebook and Myspace.
• Smaller images with page numbers on it.

4. This magazine contents page is for a
Hip-Hop magazine. You can see from
the way everything is laid out. In a Hip-
Hop magazine you have one big central
image and writing on either side of the
main image. There are quotes in big
bold writing and also a little piece of
the article below the title. The image is
a bit high key and a little bit low key in
some areas. The lighting around his
face is quite high key but the
background is very low key. In Hip-Hop
magazines the person in the central
image is made to look rich and quite
intimidating as well as professional and
business-like.
5. In a Rock magazine there are a
lot of dark colours used and
big, bold, sharp fonts are used.
In this contents page there is a
lot of low key lighting in the
main image. The only part of
the image where high key
lighting is used is on the
person’s face. Other than that it
is a really dark image. There is
also a lot of bold writing and a
lot of dark colours in it as well
and very few bright colours.
6. For Pop magazines there are
really bright colours used in
them. The images are high
key, the colours are really
bright and the writing is also
really big and really bold. In

really bright. The colours are
really bright and also the
writing is quite bold and eye
catching.
