Jules Joseph

Evaluation 1

Masthead – I have a bold title at the centre of the page which is a common convention of a music magazine. The title is bold so when it is on the shelf it is eye catching and easy for readers to see. Also on my magazine I used some conventions that you would see in a real magazine such as puffs ‘exclusive talks with Julzy, Tinie Tempah, Kano, Figure Flows’ and cover lines ‘ What makes grime so appealing to its audience’. On my front cover the main image is the featured artist which is a common convention on a music magazine and this lets readers know that the main focus is my artist Julzy for this specific ‘June 2016’ edition. The use of the date is also a common convention of a magazine in general as well as the barcode and price. On my contents page I have used many common conventions of a music magazine such as the artist social media links so that people can contact him. Also, page numbers directing readers to page information and features. On my double page spread I used a ‘pull out quote’ for the audience to remember as there is a lot of writing and I didn’t want my audience not getting the key message from the article.
