The document discusses the conventions used in a music magazine called "The Symphony". It follows standard magazine layout conventions like masthead, date, and price, but has a different overall layout than other existing music magazines. The document emphasizes that appearance and format are important considerations when creating a magazine, as audiences are initially attracted by appearance rather than articles. It also stresses that colors should be used consistently to make the magazine attractive and help build its brand identity.

2. My media product uses the conventions in the following
ways:
 Layout (Masthead, Date, Price, Main Image, Bar Code)
 Colour

3.  The layout of my music magazine is similar to other
rock magazines, like Kerrang! & Classic RocK. I used
the usual conventions of a magazine such as, the
masthead and features however. The layout of my
magazine (The Symphony) is different from other
existing magazines whereas, the main conventions of
the magazine such as, masthead, date, etc; are not
changed, they are in the standard format.

4. While creating a magazine, there are some things to be
kept in mind such as, appearance and format.
A magazine should look representable, as audience is
mostly attracted through appearance rather than the
articles in it. Each type of magazine has its own theme,
depends upon the genre. Appearance also makes the
brand of the magazine recognizable to the audience.
Colours are necessary for a magazine, in order to make it
more attractive. Whereas, a colour scheme should be set
for the magazine, to make it more consistent.
