The document discusses how the creator of a music magazine both followed and challenged conventions in their design. They followed typical conventions like including the title, image, and price on the cover to make it easily understandable to readers. However, they also challenged conventions by having a simplistic cover design with minimal text and an casually dressed musician rather than a formal pose. Within the magazine, they attempted to draw the eye along the page in a "Z" formation, following some layout conventions while keeping the background simple for readability. Feedback indicated that the cover achieved its goals of generating curiosity and representing its target audience of indie/rock music fans. The creator believes the magazine publisher EMAP would be most suitable due to its similar existing titles.
