codes & conventions

Codes & Conventions ALL music magazines have a main image on the front cover, this contains a Zeitgeist (The defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time.) this means that its mainly current artists that are shown on the front page. In well known magazines there will be promotional offers such as free stuff, which could include relevant things to the genre of the music that the magazine refers to, for example; tour dates, free CDs and posters of artists. there are also online interactive things such as a code in the magazine could get you exclusive material on the website. Another form of indirect advertisement would be if a band or record lable sent a preview for the audience to listen to to get a review, this is indirect as the magazine wasnt payed by the artist to do the review they get the money from the fan base of the artist that will buy the issue for the infomation about the new album or single. Typically in a music magazine there will be an interview with a current artist that for some reason is now being the main focus of a magazine or particular article, most of the time this will be a double page spread if it's the main talked about thing at the time in current music news. Lists are a very common thing to see in a magazine this could be offical like UK Top 40 or made up by the magazine like "100 top romantic songs" which are the magazines perspective of the songs.

mood board

Mood Board

This is my mood board which is a mixture of images which i want to be similar to my magazine images, the main type of images i have are formal/informal, technology/traditional sounds.

For my mood board i wanted to express the type of images i want to use for my actual magazine and what type of images i am interested in, alot of my images i have chosen are fairly opposite in the music industry. foir example technology against classical etc.
