Conventions
Music Magazine Conventions
AS Media Studies
In this piece of work I will be analysing what conventions are involved in a music magazine, and what conventions will be involved in my own music magazine. I will be covering the following aspects…
Technical
Written
Symbolic
You know what genre a magazine is particularly by the front cover. The front cover gives away the meaning and concept of the magazine, and this is probably the most important part. The masthead is the magazine name, which could be the seller, as the more popular the logo or name of your magazine, the more people are going to buy it.
In my magazine I will be conveying the genres of music called indie & Rock, interviewing a band, and then explaining the characteristics of their songs compared to the mainstream sound of indie.
