Music Magazines and Their Conventions:

Today, I'm looking at different music magazine covers and explain their conventions. When looking at different music magazine, you can notice that they all have similar conversation which make them up. Look at these 3 different music magazine covers:

Like all magazine cover, the first thing you notice is the mastheads. Look at how the editors of these music magazine covers have used a thick font style to make it eye catching. Also they made sure their masthead is in contrast against the dark or light background. It helps the audience who like to their magazine easier to find it and it leaves a print in the reader minds.

A similarity between these music magazine covers is that they all have a main image of a celebrity that they are talking about and them right in the middle of the page. The reason why they have done this is because it informs their target audience who are interested in this particular person,  should get this magazine and read about their favourite celebrity and that they are up to date about the latest gossip about them and they. They made sure they right in the middle so that they are first thing besides the masthead that the target audience will see. Also, the editors have used airbrush to make celebrities so that it connotes the idea that of them being perfect and give the audience a reason why they are their role models.

Another one of their similarity is that they have other taglines on their page. The editors of theses have added them because it gives the audience an idea on what other special articles that they can read and there is a little extract on what the audience will be reading about.
