This music magazine uses conventions of real music magazines in its form and design. It includes a masthead and main image on the cover, like real magazines. However, the main image was originally covering the masthead, so it was moved down to clearly show the masthead, as this is the first issue. There is also a main cover line explaining the main image and cover story. As with real magazines, it includes a barcode on the front cover and displays the price under the barcode.
