My magazine cover resembles a typical R&B magazine cover with bold colors that stand out and catch the eye. The text around the featured artist is bold and clear with some text larger than others. The masthead is big and bold. However, my magazine also includes social media icons indicating availability online, and shows what's included inside (a poster), which challenges conventions. The content page layout is somewhat similar to typical R&B magazines with page numbers and "Contents" at the top. But it also challenges conventions with another text strip along the top and more free space not filled with words. The double page spread conforms to conventions with a large main picture and smaller supporting images, a quote, and intro
