Task five ( music )

For task five i had to analyse the contents pages of magazines that are already out there and note all the codes and convections. I looked at the magazines Q and Kerrang. I noted all the things that they have in common and all the different names for all the details on the magazine. I noted what everything was and why they were layout in that way. This is my work for it:
