2. My masthead challenges normalconvention of real Hip Hop magazines.This is because normally the masthead would not appear on one side on a Hip Hop magazine. It would be right in themiddle with the artist /s at the front. Iput mine to one side and in front as it allows my audience to see it better. The main image develops convention of real Hip Hop magazines. Most Images on Hip Hop magazines front covers like to portrayattitude, especially when the artist /sare male but they would not cover their face with a hoodie. I decided to do theopposite of this to emphasise theattitude stereotypically associated withHip Hop, but also to reflect myaudience. As I will later mention inquestion 2 of the evaluation, they are stereotypically chavs, who wear hoodies to show they have a badattitude. 3.

In terms of imagery I would I say I developed conventions of real Hip Hop magazines asnormally they tend to have just one mainimage of their cover artist/s on the contentspage. I put more than one image on my contents page so as to cater for my targetaudiences wants, as it was made clear to mein my questionnaire that the majoritywanted more than one image. In terms of text I would say I challenged convention. This is because in realmagazines the features do not take up a whole column . I gave the features awhole column to draw the readersattention more towards it, to show I have listened to there wants and included artistthey said they would like to see in my questionnaire. The inclusion of an editors note is a challenge to convention as noreal magazines have them. I put one in to make the reader feel the contents page addressed them more directly. I achievedthis as in my second questionnaire allrespondents said the editors note made the contents page more personal. 5.

The placing of a barcode on the doublepage spread could be said to challengeconvention as it is not normal.However, it is not really my own original change to convention as vibe, a realmagazine, do this to highlight their website , which is what I have done.I would say my headline NXTdevelops convention of realmagazines. As normally all the letterswould be the same size. I have mademy letters progressively bigger toreflect the idea that in 2012 my artist got bigger and bigger until theyreached mainstream stardom. Demonstrated by the final letter(T) being the biggest letter.
