2. There are five conventions
of a music magazine:
• The front cover
• The contents page
• The editor’s letter
• Two-page spreads
• The advertisements

3. What does the front cover
have to include?
• The magazine’s title
• The fonts and colour
used
• The main image
• The cover lines
• Others ( the price, the
bar code, etc.)

4. The magazine’s title is
Amuzine
The date of Amuzine published. I
decided to make Amuzine be
published monthly.
A free gift is a way to attract the
audience. It can also be said this is
a way to encourage teenagers to
buy our products. I used a free
poster as a gift to them. This poster
is used the most girl’s band in Asian
therefore teenagers may buy
because they want to support their
favourite band.
This is the main image I used for my
cover. I used a medium shot. She is
my friend. I asked her to help me
because she is a pretty girl by
Asian people’s aesthetic standards.
Most female teenagers’ outlooks is
looked similar to her. And most
Asian boys likes this kind of girls. So
I believe she can be my cover’s
model to attract my target
audience.
I will sell my magazines as
£2. This price is set up by the
comments which I got from
teenagers from my
questionnaire.
Those are the cover lines. The
cover lines are used to show
the audience the interesting
contents inside the magazine.
If there is any topics inside the
magazine which they are
interested in, they would buy
and read it.
Every magazine covers
contain a bar code. It’s used
to scan the price in the shops,
such as 711. it’s necessary to
have a bar code on my cover.

5. What is a typical contents
page like?
• The magazine’s title
• The page numbers
• The titles of each contents
• The subtitles of each
contents
• The advertisements
• The published date

6. The magazine’s title
It’s used to show my
audience this is the contents
page.
A main image I used as the
background on the contents
page. I used a long shot to
take this picture. However, I
think a long shot picture
doesn’t look good with other
things together therefore I cut
this picture and change into a
medium long shot picture. She
is also my friend. I asked her
for help because she is also a
fashion, pretty girl. Asian
teenagers like her outlook.
This content I placed individually
because I wanted to show it relates
to the picture.
The published date
The issue numbers
Contents, which contains page
numbers, topics’ titles and subtitle
used to summary the each topics.
There are three sections, which are
interview, features and plus. The stars
around every page numbers are
used to ornament this page.

8. The magazine's title. My
teacher advised me to
add it onto my double
pages spread. I decided
to add in the end because
it looks suitable on the
double pages.
There are four pictures
which took on my friend,
Yaho Lee. This page is
showing I had a interview
with her. So everything is
about her. It’s reasonable
that I used her pictures on
this page because they
are related to the
contents.
This is a special text box
which I only used to
ornament this double
pages.
The title and subtitles.
The page numbers
This is the text which I wrote by myself. This is a interview with Yaho
Lee. On the left side I wrote some introductions. And on the right side,
I wrote some questions which are showing I was interviewing her,
asking her questions for her fans and she was answering.

9. The front cover:
The double pages spread:
The conventions on the sample cover are
all included on my front cover.
My teacher advised me to add the
magazine’s title-Amuzine onto my double
pages spread. So this is the only
difference between the sample and my
proper one.
The contents page:
To compare with the sample, my proper
page doesn’t include any advertisements
and the editor’s letter. Except these two
conventions, my contents page included
very other conventions.
Before I started to create my pages, I did
some researches about the boundaries of
music magazines. I have to read some
examples and decide what my music
magazine will look like. And also I saved
the drafts every time when I thought I
finished. And I asked feedbacks from my
teachers and test buddies.
