This document outlines several codes and conventions commonly used in pop music magazines. Key conventions include: - The masthead uses large, colorful text to attract attention and identify the magazine's topic. - Cover lines and dominant images preview articles to encourage reading. Color schemes and styles are tailored to the target audience. - Contents pages, page numbers, and subheadings help readers navigate articles and information. - Articles provide the main content and attract buyers, using various fonts, sizes, and images to engage readers. - While essential, barcodes and issue details are de-emphasized to not detract from the visual design. Puffs and pugs advertise content to persuade purchases.
