This magazine uses conventions of real music magazines through elements like a masthead, positioning statement, contact details, page numbers, and a consistent color scheme. It challenges conventions by using unconventional titles, images, and layouts to attract an indie music audience. Key design elements include a prominent cover image of an indie artist, a large "INDIE" cover line, and article imagery and formatting that relate to the indie music genre discussed in the content.
