Our magazine follows most of the typical conventions for a magazine. There is a picture of people on the front and a mid-shot is used. Also is uses a colour scheme of only a few colours. There is a masterhead at the top and smaller pictures and cover lines at the bottom. It also uses many different layers. It doesn't break any conventions. The colour pattern suits the target audience as it uses bright stand out colours such as red and yellow that suit the audience for a rock magazine. The cover lines entice the audience by refering directly to the reader, such as '25 metal anthem you must own' and 'how to survive rock 'n' roll'. This makes you want to find out more and read the magazine. The Magazine appeals to regular readers because the masterhead with the name of the magazine is overlapped by the picture of the band. Although you can't see all of the name of the magazine regular readers will know what it is. I have learnt that to produce a successful magazine cover it must follow the most of the typical conventions for a magazine and must make an audience want to read the magazine. I have also learnt how to produce a magazine using photoshop.
