Generic Conventions of 
Magazine Covers and Contents 
Pages
Appealing to the Target 
Audience 
Feature Language 
Concerned about exams Tips for revision and time planning Don’t stress! We will help you pass 
your test 
Want to have a break from 
all the work 
2 tickets to Thorpe Park Do you need a break from school 
work? Win tickets for a day at 
Thorpe Park! 
University/Future plans Helping you to figure out what’s right for you Take control of your life, find the 
perfect way for you! 
Socializing with new people Tips on how to make new friends and a 
feature on an upcoming social event 
Having trouble finding the right 
people to talk to? We’ve got an 
event that will help you find your 
new best friend! 
Interesting in driving 
lessons 
Local driving schools and links to online 
practice tests 
Road rage driving your way? We’ve 
got all the best local driving schools 
to help you on your way! 
Where to go and break and 
lunch 
Talk about the study centre and local shops 
around the school. Also say about the 
canteen and what food it has to offer 
Cafes and shops right up your street!
It has stuck to 
the rule of using 
no more than 3 
colours. It uses 
pink, white and 
black 
It has the date, 
but not the bar 
code or price so 
it does not have 
every generic 
convention, but 
it does have one 
There is text going 
over the face of the 
model which should 
be avoided 
The shot 
type 
used is a 
medium 
shot 
Used fonts that match 
well together. The font 
size for the masthead is 
the biggest on the page 
and is also positioned 
at the top of the page. 
They’ve used different 
sized fonts for certain 
words to catch peoples 
attention, for example, 
the writing on the left 
third side is bigger 
than on the right third 
side because they want 
that story to stand out 
more 
Plain 
background so 
it does not 
distract your 
attention from 
the text and 
model 
Model is looking 
directly into the 
camera so it is 
interacting with, 
and inviting the 
reader
Has stuck to the three 
colour rule using 
orange, yellow and 
black 
The contents is broken 
down into different 
sections so that it is 
easier to find certain 
features 
The numbers of the pages and 
subtitles are a different colour to 
the subheadings. This is useful 
because it makes it clearer to see 
what is on each page. Also the text 
after the subheadings isn’t in bold. 
This makes the subheadings easier 
to read and stand out more to catch 
the readers attention 
The contents is laid out 
in a column so it is 
easier to read and 
understand 
There is a long shot picture with 
text by it saying what page it will 
be on so that the picture catches 
the readers attention, then they 
know where to go to see the rest 
of the article that picture will be 
about 
There is a plain background so it 
does not overcrowd or distract 
the reader from the information 
they want to see 
They have used generic conventions 
on this page, putting on the date and 
their website so people know where 
to find them online and also so they 
know when this magazine was issued
