Comparing my magazine to others

• My front cover is original as I didn’t use many things out of magazines.

• The R sign is original as I thought it could be a trademark sign for the magazine.

• The “12 exclusive interviews” is used from Q magazine. This is used because it is a stereotypical convention used in a magazine.

• The colour scheme is similar to Q as it uses red and black, but I have added a grey colour at the top and an aluminous green to make it original.

• This is Q magazine, I have used this as my style model. As you can see the main mast head is at the bottom like my front cover.

• The model is in the middle of the cover which is different to mine as, mine is slightly to the right to fit the text in.

• The text at the side is in the same place as mine this is a stereotypical convention as most front covers have the text on the left side of the page.

• The colour scheme is quite similar but mine is darker to make the red stand out more.

As you can see the front covers look different but they share similarities.

Contents page• This is my contents page it shares

similarities to other contents pages but it is original.

• The image of the model holding the wet floor sign with the text on it is completely original compared to anything I have seen.

• The large image is similarly placed to the image in Q magazine

• I put my feature article on the contents page simply just to take up space and as the Q magazine does that too.

• The most exciting people in music tag appears on all of my pages to show it is from the same magazine.

• The name of my magazine is faded and is behind all of the images to add originality.

• This is the magazine I have used as a style model as you can see the main image is in the right of the page, just like mine.

• The text is on the left hand side like mine, but I have more on the other side so it didn’t look exactly like the Q magazine.

• The magazine keeps the same colour scheme and so does mine, this is a convention of a music magazine as it is unprofessional to have the pages looking like they aren't from the same magazine.

As you can see the pages are not that similar apart from layout but I used the magazine to show me what I wanted differently to make it original.

• This is my feature article and I have used Q magazine as a style model.

• My image and text are two different pages which is the same as the Dave grohl article this makes it look professional as you cant have the image or text over the crease in the page.

• The colour scheme is the same as the rest of the magazine to keep the house style of the front cover.

• This is my style model the image is on a different page to the text, the same as mine.

• The title is in the same place as well.

• I have used bolder text in the middle of the article like this one, this is a stereotypical convention of a feature article.

As you can see the feature articles are similar but the colour scheme is totally different as I had to keep the house style.
