Research into conventions of music magazines

I have looked and a couple of magazines to see the conotations and conventions used in magazines. I looked at a range of genres to give me and idea of what i need to put in my m,usicv magazine.

This magazine is 'NME'. I included my annotations which shows why certain conventions were used.

 'Q' magazine, including my annotations on why certain conventions were used to give a particular effect.

The front cover of the music magazine 'Top Of The Pops' with my annotations, the reason they are on there is to give an insight into why some of the conventions were used.

These are some double page spreads that i have analysed.

The double page spread above is aimed at a young reader as it catches the eye.

I have analysed some contents pages to show the conventions that are used.
