Conventions Notes

• The masthead is the name of the magazine and on
  this magazine is Billboard.
• Because Christina is all white and that goes with
  the idea of her resurrection.
• The colours suggest that the magazine is a fun
  and youthful applying to a younger audience
• An exclusive first listen suggest that its for
  a higher class magazine
• I think it shows a formal style for the magazine
• By the picture I think Christina is a soul or an
  RnB singer cause of the colour and the style of
  the picture

Conventions Notes

• By the picture I think Christina is a soul or an
  RnB singer cause of the colour and the style of
  the picture but the style of writing also shows
  this and backs up my point
• The Main part of the page is Christina and that
  comes across in the picture and how big the text
  is when it talks about Christina. But they also
  tell you what's in the magazine by the kickers
  and cover line

Noticing Conventions

• What does the masthead tell you about the
  magazine?
• How does the anchorage help to create meaning
  with the photo?
• Do the graphic features tell you anything about
  the style of the magazine?
• Does the way things are phrased or designed
  (including taglines, flashes, quotes etc) give
  you hints about lifestyle the audience and
  artists are expected to have?
• Do the fonts and colours communicate a certain
  style or approach?
• What impression do you get about the artist
  judging by the photographic styles and techniques
  e.g. positioning, mode of address etc.?
• How does it arrange the space on the page to tell
  you what is most important?
• How do the kickers and cover lines work?
• What is missing from the list of conventions and
  is that significant i.e. is it less important?

• How front covers are conceived and laid out

Direct mode of address can appear in yer face,
serious, warm
Indirect mode of address can be mysterious,
lively, sombre
Creates a wacky, fun image, sharing an identity
with the reader that offers the independence of
indie music.
