My Magazine will be based on Rock music. The issue i am working on will be based on the bands Dragonforce, Avenges Sevenfold and Fall Out Boy and it will have news that will draw peoples attention like a new album, or a gig, a new Guitarist/Drummer/Lead Singer
It will need a picture to make it look believable and then use up as much space as i can with information and pictures and it will be really informative and and offer free merchandise in competitions and/or Giveaways so that people could read the magazine and want to enter a competition and win a T-Shirt, Hoodie anything that they like in the magazine.
I will make the front page look big and bold to stand out from the rest of the magazines and then mine will be picked instead and then it would be a popular magazine. The front page will look interesting because i will have big bold writing for the title and have a main image that will take up as much space as possible and have one of the bands i picked (Avenged Sevenfold, Fall Out Boy or Dragonforce) news on the front to draw people in and then have like posters or a CD giveaway, Also for my magazine because it will be for Rock bands i will have to use Rock type colours like black, dark red maybe some bright colours to catch the attention so it will stand out to Rock fans/listeners.
From doing this task it will bring me one step closer to making my music magazine because now i know what the basic layout will be, The colours i will need to use, What the contents will be, What the genre will be for the magazine and what the story i will need to make will be. So i am prepared for the music magazine making stage of the course.
Okay, but I think that you need to add more conventions here.
