2. POP MAGAZINE
• In the next slide I am going to analyse a pop
magazine and annotate all the different
conventions of the magazine.

3. CONTENTS PAGE
Page numbers- Every magazines
contents page has to have
numbers to indicate readers what
topic is on what page to make it
easier for them to get to the page
they want easy and fast.
Colloquial language- This is found on most pop
magazines to suite the target audience. It would
usually suite a younger audience.
Sub-Headings- A contents
page should usually contain
sub-headings next to the page
numbers. This is to give a clear
idea of what is inside and
makes it easy to navigate.

4. POP MAGAZINE CONVENTIONS
This is the masthead of
the magazine. This should
always stand out and
draw the attention of the
readers. Its usually a
bright colour to attract
the readers eyes. The
Masthead should always
have a link to the overall
magazine in this case a
relation to pop music.
The main image is usually
a famous singer or band
who are well known at
the time and in this case
Jessie J was the famous
pop musician at the time.
It needs to be popular
musician as this is what
will draw the readers to
buy the magazine. The
artist or band must attract
a certain target
audience
The Cover lines should
have some sort of link
to the features of the
artist on the front
cover of the
magazine. The artist or
band must attract a
certain target
audience. The cover
line for this magazine is
“Jessie J tells her own
story” this is in regard
of Jessie J and her
personal story which
she shares to the
public.

5. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
• Bold fonts- Bold fonts are used to get
the attention of the reader the bold
fonts are mostly used for the main
story of the double page spread.
The biggest image on
the double page
spread is usually who
the story is based
around this may be a
story about a particular
celebrity in this case its
Rhianna
