2. Front Cover
Masthead big and bold.
Masculine font. Very
conventional for rock genre.
Similar style masthead to real one.
Same positioning as professional.
Masculine bold font with bright
masculine colour. Conventional for
the genre.
Cover story and
Image in similar
place. Conventional
for a magazine to
have the image and
cover story here.
Barcode in similar places.
Conventional placement
Puff – Not present
on my work. Does
appear on other
magazines but not
so much that its
conventional
Cover lines
in similar
places. All
down one
side on
profession
al but
either side
on my
piece.
More
convention
al for the
cover lines
to be
spread out
on the
page.
Page
completely
covered, every
gap is filled.
Top strip – Not
featured on
professional
magazine but is
still very
conventional
for a magazine.
Similar pose and outfit as
professional. Open Jacket
outfit and looking at the
camera. Difference as my
artist is more turned
towards the camera. This is
still conventional as lots of
magazines have artist
facing or slightly turned
away from the camera.
3. Contents Page Title in a similar place to the
professional image.
Conventional placement for
magazine. The font used is
conventional as it is a bold
masculine font which
matches the rock genre and
the red matches my house
style.
Image on the
left hand side.
Very
conventional
as seen on
most
magazines.
List of articles in the
magazine.
Conventional
placement of list. Would
have been more
conventional if list had
been thinner. Font is
conventional as it is a
small sans serif font that
is easy to read.
Editors Note.
Semi-conventional
as lots of
magazines have
one but the are
only sometimes on
the contents page.
Image is more
of an action
shot which is
not
conventional as
most cover
pages have the
artist just
standing and
not performing
an action.
4. Double Page Spread. Title in similar position (Can’t see
on professional as title is yellow)
Similar layout. More divided on
professional however.
Similar posing of artists.
Led Zeppelin look happier
but the more serious
expressions are
conventional.
Larger article on professional.
Three columns instead of two. No
pull quotes on professional, this is
unconventional.
Outfits are unconventional in
my article. Could have made
them more conventional with
better planning.
