In what ways does your magazine use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real magazines?

Throughout the process of my research and planning I analyzed magazine covers, contents pages and double page spreads that I found online that had typically appealing features that fitted the conventional grime/RnB magazine house style. I found the layouts and structural designs of several magazines very attractive and appealing, though they were all well-ordered and smooth, for this reason I decided that I wanted mine to use gritty textures to challenge the form of real magazines and also to reflect the nature and themes of today’s grime.

After all my research and planning I decided I wanted my front cover to look like a musical mess in terms of the layout of the cover lines all around the page and the main large character on the page this is because it reflects that my magazine has a lot to give.

Whilst developing my front cover I decided that I wanted my magazine to be a mixed genre magazine mostly focusing on grime. I have already briefly given my reason as to why I have produced my magazine like this and different to others. The reason being that the characters in my magazine have a free role to attract who they attract not like other magazines that focus on certain ways to attract certain audiences therefore in conclusion the developing of my magazine is majorly contradicting to modern magazines now a days .
