mock layout front cover
i have used the same layout as many top music magazines use to creat there magazines. with the masthead across the top and a big main image cover a large percentage of the page. To ether side cover lines, and at the bottom, the bar code date and issue. this is the most used layout in music magazines so i feel it will be best for my magazine to.
mock content page
this is a mock layout of my content page. it consists of a main image covering about 50% of my page , i made it this size as many top magazines have it this way. the masthead is across the top to keep it linked with the front cover and so people know straight away what they are looking at. my contents page has the features witch is page numbered and what is on each page so the reader knows were to look for each particular story. and in the bottom left Corner i have a space for things that are in every weeks issue of my magazine such as quiz's or competitions.
mock double page spread
the article will be along the bottom in formal text. I noticed alot of double page spreads were lay ed out this way so i based mine in the same arrangement. i also have3 smaller images down the side of the page giving the audience some more understanding on what the article will be about.

this is another front cover from vibe magazine and it follows a lot of the same conventions as there others it has a very wild and vibrant title and they use the same color as they did in the other magazine cover with r Kelly on they use these coloures to make the magazine seem hard and gangsta like gangstas usually wear these types of coloures. They have used a famous role model again which is t.i he is one of americas most well known rappers and is known for how he strived for fame. He came from rags to riches. People will buy this magazine because young people will want the things he has and will try to be as successful as him so they will read the things he says.

This is a contents page it follows the conventions of other magazines because it has a big clear mast head and also has sub headings which tell u about what is in the magazine. They also have a picture about what will be inside the magazine and this will also attract the the type of audience the editor is trying to appeal to.

this is a picture of r Kelly a well known rnb and hip hop artist he is very famous and is also very successful. He is someone for young people to aspire to be like this is why vibe have put him on the cover of there magazine. They also put him on the cover because it will make people want to buy the magazine because people will want to know what he is saying. This is a convention that most magazines follow because if they have someone succefull on the cover there magazines sales are bound to increase.
The mast head of the magazine cover is very bold this is a convention of magazine covers because this makes the magazine stand out on the shelf so people can see it and want to buy it . they use up to date language so they can make it attractive to younger viewers who tend to be more interested into the hop hop scene. They use coloures which are hard and harsh to add a gangsta feel to the magazine so they feel it keeps it real to there type of culture.
