My media product uses many conventions that would be featured in a real media product, such as a barcode, price, issue number, page numbers on the double page spread; even on the left, odd on the right. I have listed various genra's, as featured bands to demonstraight that this is a mixed genra magazine. Like 'Q' magazine, i have used images as well as text on my contents page as this is commonly seen in professionally published magazines. I have included a small sell line underneith each of the featured bands as this is commonly done. I have included a 'competition' on the front page to entice the reader, as this is another commonly used convention. I have made the colour scheme on the front page match the contents page by using the colour blue, i have also made it fit in with the double page spread by using the colour orange. Some magazines do this but others dont so it is not a commonly used convention, however relating the pages to the front cover allows the reader to see, that the whole magazine is connected. My magazine layout is similar to that of 'Q' as this is the style of magazine i wanted to do.I have used many conventions from 'Q' such as using a gradient background throughout my magazine to create a house style. I have set out my contents page like Q as all of my features are on the left hand side with various images on the right. I have used simplistic shots as these look the most professional and are the main kind of shots used in real media products. I feel that i have used many conventions from real media products, which efficiently makes my product look professional.
