The student analyzed real magazine covers, contents pages, and double page spreads from magazines like NME, Billboard, and Vibe to research industry conventions. Features like mastheads, cover lines, layouts, fonts, images, and articles were examined. For their magazine "Rhythmic," the student used a red and black masthead and three basic colors to appeal to different audiences. Formal fonts, large cover lines, and Photoshopped band images were used to look professional. A question and answer article on the double page spread was included after researching common magazine styles. Kicker quotes and pull quotes were utilized successfully to highlight important information from the article.
