Music magazine research - Codes and Conventions of music magazine contents pages

As a class we managed to produce a list of the codes and conventions of a music magazine. This is what we managed to find out:

All magazine contents pages include:

• have reference to the magazine name
• have word contents on
• contain one main image
• layed out into 2/3 columns
• apart from the main image there is more that one other image
• the colour scheme matches that of the fornt cover meaning there are only around 3 colours
• the images included relate to the page numbers in the magazine
• there is a website or way of contact included on them
• there are more images than writing included
• contain advertisements e.g the next issue
• an editors letter
• different font for section headings (sometimes include graphics)
• banner to highlight important things.
• usually 2 columns of pictures and one of writing.
