This document discusses the forms and conventions used in a music magazine. It describes the layout of the cover, including centering the artist photograph to make it balanced, using a plain background to focus on the artist, and including eye contact and a connection between the photo and headline. It also summarizes the purpose and design of other elements like the masthead, cover lines, headline, selling line, and contents page which separates content into categories.

1. Forms and conventions
How have I used, developed and challenged
forms and conventions in my music
magazine?

2. Cover Eye-contact so
the audience
feels a
connection with
the artists
The artist is
in the centre
of the page
which makes
the cover
seem more
balanced.
The photo
links with the
headline as
the artist is
Jack Chudz
The background
is plain so the
focus is on the
artist

3. Masthead
• I have placed the masthead at the top of the page as
that’s what would be visible to customers if my magazine
was on the shelves in a store
• It is in a different font to the rest of the text on the cover to
make the name of the magazine stand out to the rest of
the text.

4. Cover Lines
• The cover lines show what other content will be in the
magazine and who it will be about

5. Headline
• The headline shows the name of the artist (Jack Chudz)
• There is a quote underneath the name of the artist
explaining why he is in the magazine. In this case about
his fight with Passenger being a mistake

6. Selling line
• The selling line shows that the magazine is all about the
rise of artist in the music industry.
• The magazine name, ‘RiizN’ is a play on word for the
word rise

7. Contents
My contents page is
split up into different
categories to show the
different styles on
content. For example
news such as chart
updates is separated
from posters included
in the magazine
