Conventions of my music magazine.

-Masthead with big bold font so the name of the magazine stands out to the audience's eye.
-A slogan which will stay in the reader's head to remember which magazine it is.
-A caption underneath the main photo explaining who it is and what they are on the magazine cover for.
-Side stories to make the magazine seem believable for example, an interview with a famous musician.
-Banner headline with information on about the magazine ssuch as 'best magazine of 2011'
-Tease device to make the reader want to look into the magazine e.g. 'PLUS MARK D....'
-Layout is important, medium long shot of image in the centre of the cover, this is because you can then clearly see who the image.
-Logo to show the audience what magazine it is and when they see the logo they will know it is my magazine.
-Thumbnail images so it looks more professional and to show there is more stories inside.
Byeline-name of the writer so the readers see who wrote it and if they are well known will infuence them into buying it.
