Use of Conventions

My magazine cover closely follows conventional fashion magazine covers. It has a person on the  cover and their name is in big letters so that it's easy to identify them. It has the month and year of the issue on the front cover underneath the magazine title. There are also multiple features and article titles on either side of the cover to get people interested in the magazine. One convention it doesn't follow is have the person's head in front of the title of the magazine.

My table of contents page follows the convention of stating the issue as part of the title, but it's titled "Directory" instead of "Table of Contents." It has a picture in the background, opposed to the conventional white background. It follows conventions of having the page numbers of the articles bigger than the title of the article. It also has a page number in the bottom right corner. 

My article follows conventions of have a big title, and having it written with black text on a white background. It isn't conventional to have a picture in the middle of the page. Writing the article in two columns is conventional, as is having a small excerpt from the article stand out in the page. In other magazines I've seen symbols at the end of the last sentence to inform the reader that it's the end of the article, so I used that convention. 

My magazine represents people in the fashion industry and people who are interested in fashion. My article about Instagram influencer Savannah West represents social media and the people who use it.
