My magazines adheres and challenges to many conventions of music magazines throughout the 3 pages I created.I tried to follow as many as I could to make my magazine appeal to my target audience .
Front Cover:
I have also included a sell line , I did this to make my magazine more appealing to the audience , this challenges many jazz magazines because they don't this. I have placed it at the top of the page to create more effect because its near the masthead it is automatically seen by the buyer this helps convince more people to buy my magazine and helps the brand to be associated with it more.
The biggest challenge to convention I have on my front cover is the cover image, the star is not looking into the camera which breaks any music magazines conventions , I did this to give my star attitude. I also used a colour pop on the artists lips to make them stand out and I used this colour to create synergy with my magazine.
Contents :
In my contents page I have used the same colour font for the contents page title as the iconic masthead. I did this to create synergy within my magazine this normally adheres to conventions in magazines. I have also used lines by the side of the contents title to make it bolder and stand out more this also challenges conventions of magazines . I have placed this in the middle of the page at the top to draw more attention to the meaning of the page help . I have also used headings such a 'cover-story' ; ' features' and 'regulars' this is to help the readers and help organise the contents in the magazine. This challenges conventions of jazz magazines because it is not normally done .
I have placed the page numbers in blue boxes which I did to create more synergy this follows conventions of jazz magazines because many jazz do this to make the numbers more bold and to help the reader.

This image adheres to conventions because the star is holding an instrument which many jazz magazines like the stars to pose with.
The images also adhere because they are all studio shoots which are normally used in jazz magazines.
I have used mostly medium shots for the pictures on the contents page. I have also used a gig image this challenges conventions because most jazz magazines wouldn't include this on their contents however , I decided to do this to appeal to a more younger audience.

Double Page Spread:
The image on the double page spreads covers both sides however, the artist is just on one. This challenges conventions of jazz magazines because the image used is normally placed on one side of
the article. The image I have used is a close up this is because her face is close to the camera however, this is because she leans into it, this is challenging conventions because of the shot type.The star looks into the camera to create a relationship with the reader and make the article more intimate, this adheres conventions in jazz magazines because they want the star to appear kind and friendly.

I have placed the page numbers at the bottom which adheres conventions of magazines I have also included the logo.
In the double page spread article I have used questions as headings this is challenges conventions, I did this so the reader could see the bit of the article which interested them the most, I have also used a consultative register this adheres conventions in magazines.
