The document compares images from the author's magazine to real music magazines. Both the author's front cover and a Lady Gaga cover feature the artist in the center obstructing the masthead with their name written across. Double page spreads in both magazines feature the artists looking away from the camera, which the author found to be a common convention. Contents pages in both magazines feature a large central image from another article surrounded by smaller images representing other features.

This facial expression, as I wanted her to be taken seriously by the readers, and that she was serious about her
Music. I also noticed it was a common convention for artists to pose seriously, and so I adopted this into my task.
Both artists are on the Right hand side, with the text on the left, and I think this is a good feature to have as it
focuses on the image and the text separately, each getting the right amount of attention.

4. CONTENTS PAGE IMAGESCONTENTS PAGE IMAGES
These contents pages hold many similarites, one of which is the large image going across the two
pages.
This is obviously the main image, and it has clearly been shown on both images, as it is centred and the
Biggest one. Surrounding both images are smaller ones representing different articles and features in
the
Magazines. I have used an image of my double page spread, and I found that most magazines do this,
or
Use a copy of the front cover, as the copy of Q did. There are a variety of other images on my page, and
like in the copy of Q, I chose a variety of different edits, shots and people, but still portraying the indie
