This document compares the front covers and contents pages of real music magazines like NME and Kerrang to those created by the author for their own magazine titled "iMusic". Both the real and student-created magazines utilize similar conventions like mastheads, dates, artist names, and photographs. However, the student's magazine includes fewer photographs and a simpler color scheme. The placements of specific elements like the masthead, cover images, and contents headings are similar between magazines but also differ in some ways. Overall, the document shows how the student drew upon real magazine formats and designs while also experimenting with some original elements for their class project.
