Analysis of Music magazine key conventions from omushigo
What I Learnt
What I Learnt
- The positioning of the artist whether it be behind or in front of the Masthead plays great significance. For my own product, i want the artist in front of the Masthead because i want readers to focus on the artist as he is my selling point
- The positioning of the Masthead itself is also very important as it lets audiences know what magazine their reading. It needs to be bold and unique. My products Masthead will be at the center of the page.
- A variety of images on the contents page looks better and busier. Also allows audiences to know first hand the artists which will be mentioned. Different shot sizes is also important
- There should be a good balance between text and images on the double page spread to cater to those who enjoy reading or enjoy pictures.
- Including a quote from the artist is popular and i will be sure to follow this convention
- As well as following and developing conventions i hope to challenge them also to make my magazine unique and interesting. If you follow conventions to closely your magazine lacks authenticity and will find it hard to compete with others.
