Question-1
In what ways does your magazine use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real magazines?

To be able to create an authentic media magazine it was crucial for me to follow some of the traditional forms and conventions. I did add my own little touch and made it a bit more modern. So it wasn't exactly the same as the other magazines. It had to be unique to be able to sell.

Front cover-Masthead
I looked at many magazine to see where their mastheads were based on their front cover, many where based on the top across the page. There were a few that were placed horizontally down the page, but I didn't really like that style for my magazine so I stuck to keeping across the page on the top of the cover. I did add my own touch but adding a floral background to the masthead. It was something different I really liked it and the results to my questionnaire showed the same.

Colour scheme.
For the magazine to look as real as possible they usually stick to 2-5 colours’, it makes it look more professional and gives the magazine an organised look. The more colour you have the crazy the page looks. Because my audience for my magazine are teenage girls who are very fashionable the like stuff very sophisticated so having it look quite elegant with only a few colours’ attracts them to read it.

Front Cover- Cover lines
While analysing a few magazine I realised the cover lines are usually place on either side of the front cover or on only just one side of the cover, usually just the left. So sticking to the traditional form I put the cover lines on either side of the page. This made the page look more fuller and outgoing attracting the target audiences’ eye when going to purchase it.Front cover-Proportion of image. I stuck to a large bold image in the center of the cover. Most front covers have the Center image covering the masthead, it’s usually rock magazine but because my magazine genre is pop I thought it should be a little different.

Content page-layout
The layout of my magazine is quite different to the contents pages I analysed I think by having it quite different made it look unique. As my front cover was quite traditional and stuck to the theme of what a cover should actually look like but having a little different contents page looks nice. I thought this would attract my target audience so I changed the traditional convention up a bit.

Double page spread- Amount of interview questions
The average amount of interview in the magazines I analysed were around 8. I stuck o 5 questions 5 answers from each band mate making 10 answers all together.
