One convention of my magazine which is related to those of
an official magazine is my colour scheme. My colour scheme is kept consistent
throughout my magazine; it consists of black, white, grey and red. I used these
colours as this set of colours is known to represent the genre R&B.
A second convention of my magazine which is similar to
official magazines is my artist’s style. To make my magazine more like that of
an official one, I kept my main artist in the same mise-en-scene to keep the
consistency throughout the magazine although I took series of images at
different periods of time. Doing this, I also had to re-do my artists make up.
One mistake convention I have missed on my magazine is the
barcode, most R&B magazines use the barcode on the front cover of the
magazine but I have not completed the task as the work on my front cover
crashed therefore giving me less time to complete a new cover.
Using inspiration from Billboard contents pages I used
graphics of the outline of a box shape to separate the text from the images.
This makes it clearer for the reader to understand what is what and where to
find certain pages.
As seen on the left side of the Billboard contents page, you
can see the masthead. This is just the name of the magazine as seen on the
front cover but smaller which is shown on every page of the magazine. I used
this convention to link all my pages together as I feel it sets the style and
vibe of my genre more.
