2. MASTHEAD
My masthead was based around the q magazine
masthead. This is why they look fairly similar, they both
feature a large letter in a red box. However my masthead
differs from the q magazine in the way that the letter is
black instead of white and my masthead also features
more letters as well as the big one. This is how my
masthead differs itself from the q magazine masthead.
3. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
My double page spread challenges convention as most
music magazine double page spread have a lot of writing
that can fill up to one of the pages. As well as this most
double page spreads feature an image that covers both
of the two pages. My double page spread only has a
picture on one side of the page but I have another
smaller picture to fill more of the double page spread, this
goes against double page spread convention as they
usually only feature one main image.
4. CENTRAL IMAGE
On the front cover my central image dominates the page
and stands out more than most of the text. This is standard
convention of the central image. The central image on
the front page is usually the most dominating feature to
the front cover.
5. LETTERING ON CONTENTS PAGE
The lettering on the contents page usually differ in size
depending on the importance of the text. The heading
larger than the sub headings and the sub heading larger
than the informative text. My contents lettering does stick
to convention as the heading is the larger piece of text
followed by all the sub headings. As well as this the font
type is kept constant throughout the page, this is also
convention for the contents lettering.
