3. Masthead- Each masthead on the front covers all follow the codes and conventions. NME and Q are kept to the top left of the
page where as Classic Rock and Kerrang are spread across the top.
Font- The masthead has its own unique font meaning that no other text in the magazine will be the same.
Image- Images on a front cover always have a direct address towards an audience .
House style- Each magazine follows a certain house style which will run throughout the magazine.
4. - Magazine contents pages are mostly dominated my images of different artists which are within the magazine
later on.
- The main divide within the 2/3 columns are main features which feature either every week/fortnight or
monthly and then feature articles.
- When listing the articles the order is just the number, bold text then a short explanation in roman.
5. -
Main image- takes up one image and bleeds onto the other
Title- this may sometimes grab attention to tease the audience
Stand first- introducing the article and artist
Drop capitals- breaks up text
2/3 columns
Sometimes uses a pull out quote to break up the text
Smaller images of the band/artist.
7. My Front Cover
My front cover uses and develops the
codes and conventions of a selling product
by:
- The masthead has it’s own unique text
which is not used anywhere else in the
magazine. It is also behind the image so
it doesn’t cover anything making the
image the main thing that attracts the
audience.
- The main image uses direct address.
- House style is red black and white but
the yellow used gives it an extra detail
so that it doesn’t look dull.
- A pull out quote is used for the artist
on my front cover which conveys their
attitude and personality.
8. My Contents Page
My contents page uses and develops
the codes and conventions of a selling
product in a variety of ways.
• The main split between the
columns is the feature articles and
the regular content which is clearly
shown. Each article is numbered
not following an even pattern with
bold and roman text.
• The house style(red, black and
white) still runs onto the contents
page so that there is a clear theme.
• The page is dominated by images
of bands, objects or artists that are
involved later on within the
magazine which will draw
attention to the readers.
9. My Double Page Spread
My double page spread also uses and
develops codes and conventions of a
selling product.
- The main image bleeds onto two
pages so that it draws the most
attention making the audience want
to read on.
- The name of the band is the biggest
text on the double page spread so
that it also draws attention to the
audience.
- I have also included the stand first
which introduces the band and
gives a subtle description of what
the article is about.
- My article starts off with a drop
capital breaking the article up and
spreads across the two pages in 6
columns.
