5. Aspects I intend to use in my magazine
• I intend to use a lot of the aspects of the front
cover because it is similar to dubstep and
there are a mix of light and dark colours which
will appeal to a younger audience. Also I
intend to use cover lines to advertise my
magazine and obviously some of the basic
conventions like a barcode, issue
information, masthead etc.
