The conventions that I have used from this genre of magazine are used for a specific purpose, these allow me to display a lot of information in a clear and well-presented manner so that potential readers will easilly be able to see what the magazine contains without the front cover being cluttered. I have also used specific sizes for each of the elements on the front cover so that the important things are larger and because of this, more eyecatching.
Contents and Editorial -
The magazine that I compared with here did not have an editorial in their magazine probably because this was not their first edition for this magazine. I used a lot of images on these pages as they are quite text heavy and this breaks up the monotony of the page. I also featured the convention of a large segment of the page to preview the featured article on the page, this makes sure that the reader will know about this more than other segments. I also have the brand colour-scheme and title going across the top of all pages so that the brand is reinforced.
Double Page Spread -
The double-page spread is a very text heavy layout as it has a lot of content, it is important to have a lot of colour on the page to encourage people to read and for it to be eye-catching. I have done this with the convention of images throughout the text, I have wrapped the images around the text so that it gives more shape to the article. The large feature image that I have is immediately noticable on the article so that people will notice is easilly.
