The pictures that were used did follow magazine conventions by having the subject look directly at the camera to engage readers and signify the meaning and story being told.

I edited two photos by cutting out the backgrounds so they would fit properly on a double page spread and look more professional. I then placed the images on a new background representing their countries to show the artists collaborating.

It is broken down into three branches: semantics, which examines the relationship between signs and what they refer to; syntax, which studies the formal structure of signs; and pragmatics, which analyzes the effects of signs.

- 4. Stage 3 Here is my magazine at its 3rd stage of production, as you can see near this time I started to add more small things to make my magazine look like a real media magazine such as a bar code, and also a issue date for the readers to know when the magazine was issued.
- 5. Stage 4 This is my magazine after all the production work has been done, as you can see I have changed the colour of my magazine front cover the reason for me doing this is because I wanted my magazine and the headline to stand out in front of my target audience.
