Since creating my school magazine i have learnt a lot about the conventions of magazines and what i should include in my magazine to make sure that it fits its purpose and caters to my chosen audience. For example in my school magazine i used text boxes of color a lot more than what would typically be used in a magazine, for example the border round the edge wouldn't usually be there, or the yellow text boxes around the cell lines, so in my music magazine i didn't include them. Also the name of the magazine at the top is separate from the image in the background which is unusual for a magazine as they usually have the model overlaying the title or the title overlaying the image, either way there wouldn't usually be a separate box for it. Also after researching more into the conventions i noticed that they would often rotate the text to make the appearance of the magazine more attractive so i included this in my music magazine. I think since my school magazine i am a lot more experienced with software and my knowledge of magazine conventions so i found it easier and was more experienced with how to create a better, more professional looking magazine correctly catering for my target audience whilst making sure it sticks to the genre of the magazine.
