The document appears to be notes from a student describing the layout and design elements of a magazine cover, contents page, and double page article spread. The student explains where different elements like the masthead, barcode, images, columns, headings, bylines, etc. are placed and why in order to follow standard magazine design conventions. The student also notes a few instances where they deviated from conventions due to design choices.

3. Masthead
My Masthead follows the codes and conventions. This is because
It is placed at the top at the top of the magazine. My Masthead is
bold and it stands out ‘CHILLS’, this is because I want it to be
noticeable to my audience.
Selling Line
My Selling Line, again follows the codes and
conventions. This is placed at the top of the magazine
but it is placed above the Masthead. The selling line is
short and snappy and that is how I presented it ‘Music
just for you anytime anywhere’
Main Cover Line
My Main Cover Line follows the codes and conventions. My
Main Cover Line is big and bold, this is so that it stands out
and that it is noticeable to the audience. I wanted it to drag
the readers attention so they know what the magazine is
going to be about.
Barcode
My Barcode is at the bottom left had side
of my magazine. This follows the codes
and conventions. I placed my barcode
here so that it is out of the way from the
other text so were not focused on it.

4. Main Image
My Main Image is in the middle of
my front cover. This had to stand
out or else it won’t follow the
codes and conventions. This
image is important because the
image is what makes the reader
engaged and what to read the
magazine.
Cover Lines
Date Line
This follows the codes and conventions of a
proper magazine. This is small and doesn’t
stand out as much but the reader are still
aware of It. Under the date line is the
website address. I place that where I did
because it’s not that important but I made
sure the readers are still aware of it.
My Cover Lines surround my image
this is because we don’t want the
magazine to look messy. This follows
the codes and conventions. Even
though on most magazines the cover
lines are placed on the left third, I
choose not to do that because if I
have cover lines on both sides, it will
be too much writing and my target
audience may not want to read my
magazine anymore.

My Smaller Masthead follows my
codes and conventions. On all
magazine there will be a smaller
masthead, this also reminders the
reader what the name of the
magazine is called.
Main Image
My main image follows my
codes and convention. My main
image is bold and stands out.
This is so that the audience is
aware that they are featured In
the article. Other images will
have smaller pictures with page
numbers on them.
Issue date
This follows the code and
conventions of a contents
page. This is placed at the
top of the contents page.
Its is small because we
don’t want It to get in the
way of the other text.

7. Colour Scheme
My colour scheme follows the
code and conventions because
it matches the colour scheme
for my front cover. It is a blue
background which allows the
reader to feel calm and they
don’t get distracted so they
keep their attention on the
text.
Categories
My Categories follows the
codes and conventions.
This is because I have
regular feature of the
magazine will appear in
every issue as well as new
features which will appear
the once.
Mix
My Contents pages has a
mix of pictures, headings
and text boxes. This
follows the codes and
conventions. Without
theses' the page will not
be a contents page.
Column
I have 3 column’s in my
contents pages. This is so
that the reader finds it
easy and simply to read.
My column follows the
codes and conventions.

8. Smaller cover page
My small version of my front
cover, follows the codes and
conventions. This is so that
people don’t forget how it
looks like and they don’t
keep on haven to go back to
look at it.
Editor’s note
As you can see I didn’t put in
Editor’s notes and that means I
didn’t not follow the codes and
conventions. I didn’t do it
because I wanted the categories
to all be based on music and
nothing else.

her that is spread at the top
half, across the double page
spread. They also stand out
to the reader.

and simply to read that the
reader can understand. I have 4
columns that are even sizes

seeing as I am he

11. Subject Name
The Subject name is where the
subjects name is placed or
highlighted on the double page
spread. This is so that the
reader knows who the
magazine is about
Headline
The head line is often
placed at the top of the
double page spread.
This is what draws the
reader in.
Drop Capital
The drop capital is when
the first letter of the
article is bigger than the
rest of the text. This is so
that the reader knows
where to start from. I
followed this code and
convention
Strap-line
The strap-line is often placed at
the top or bottom of a pages and
It tells the matter. I didn’t follow
this code and conventions
because I didn’t have enough
space to place it in.
