Task six ( music )

For task six i had to analyse a double page spreads of magazines that are already out there and note all the codes and convections. I looked at the magazine Kerrang. I noted all the things that they have in common and all the different names for all the details on the magazine. These was abit different than task four and five as they dont have the same qualities or features. They also had different settings and layouts. The analysed picture is from my magazine that i scanned. It is different from the other double page spreads as it was mostly a picture and abit of writing and story. This is my work for it:

This is the pages of the magazine:
