So far within my research, I have discussed the Masthead, Sell lines and house style of each magazine and compared them. This will help me to decide these features when I design my magazine as it will be for a similar audience.
I have researched different conventions of a music magazine so that I can discuss whether these conventions are used or not and how they are used within the 2 magazines I have chosen.
Mast head- The title or logo normally across the top of the magazine.
Sell Lines - Text on the cover that helps to sell the magazine to the audience.
House Style - A magazine's distinctive design that distinguishes it from its competitors.
Main Headline - The biggest headline on the cover normally relating to the picture.
Strap Lines - A smaller headline, printed above the main headline.
