The document describes the layout and design conventions used on the front cover and interior pages of a magazine. Key elements include a large masthead at the top of the cover page, the artist's name in bold letters, a large central image of the artist, and props associated with their genre. Interior pages have large page numbers, headings, and multiple pictures of artists. Throughout, bold fonts, contrasting colors, and large images and text are used to catch the reader's attention.

4. I have mainly chosen to follow the conventions of real magazine products through
several aspects of my front page. However how some magazines choose to have a
close up of their main artist making an intimidating eye contact with the reader,
I have chosen to have challenge this approach by taking a medium shot of
my main artist to incorporate into the picture his muscular physique with the
desired effect of showing creating an imposing sense of power to the reader.

9. Most of the conventions are the same so the reader can recognise this
is a double page spread product. Although I decided to not have a large
title block and challenge a convention on this page as on the same side
of the double page spread as the survey I conducted it was important
to have a lengthy interview with the main artist; having a large title
block would limit this and therefore wouldn’t please my target
audience.
