9. Codes and conventions from my magazine Left third: left thirds usually have giveaways I have followed this convention by giving them a free poster Top/bottom strip: these are very important as they give additional information to lure the audience in. I use the fact that girls would be interested in horoscopes, puzzles and the chance to see Sugababes to attract or appeal to my target audience. These are other photos I have used. I have challenged this convention as I have added an effect to it not normally done with professional magazines
10. Coverlines: these coverlines are ones that will attract the target audience as it is something they are interested in. girls would most definitely be into the 37 style statements because the majority of teenage girls are into fashion. Main image: this main image portrays how teenage girls are like in society compared to other magazines where they have a false identity of a girl. The lollipop in her mouth emphasises youth, which is the main concept I want to create from my magazine Barcode and pricing found on a music magazine for purchasing reasons.
11. Codes and conventions from my contents page Masthead: the masthead is the same as the one on the front cover and is positioned in the same place. Automatically we know that this is linked to my front cover. Layout: just like other magazines, the contents page has a particular layout. My layout is to have different sections and each section is split up into fashion and fun. I’ve used purple for the coverlines, and yellow for the additional information. This makes it easier to follow, and readers can easily find what section to read. Other pictures to make the contents page look more realistic.
12. Codes and conventions from my double page spread Page numbers: page number make my article look realistic and professional Masthead: the font for my masthead is very creative and shows that this magazine can have a creative side to, also I want candy is play on words emphasise the fact that we want CANDY GiRL. Layout: the layout is like a normal double page spread, which is set in columns, with box outs. Pictures are usually included of a double page spread article, again I have the same to make it look more realistic.
13. Before and after There are huge differences in my before and after of my previous work for my music magazine poppin. Although I have kept the top and bottom strip the same and the giveaway sign I have made a lot of improvements. I didn’t use the codes and conventions like pricing whereas now I have included that. I've got more text and used up the space wisely.
14. The only thing I have kept the same it the masthead but apart from that I have changed the whole layout. I have included more pictures to make it look more realistic. Before I only used one colour and one font. Now I have used a whole range of colours and fonts so that certain text stands out more than others. This is again so that it looks like a professional magazine and follows all the codes and conventions .

20. I have used the codes and conventions of a double page article. Firstly I have used the same layout as a normal magazine by having it in columns. Also double page articles use other pictures and block outs so that they stand out from the rest of the article. Here is my double page article against another double page article. In some ways my article is similar as they both use columns however I have challenged the codes and conventions because as you can see the magazine uses a big image and two other smaller images. I on the other hand use three smaller image. This is because I think that by using a three smaller images I'm not taking the focus away from the article.

27. Audience feedback What attracts you to this magazine? I asked 20 people what they thought attracted them most to the magazine. The results vary and it is quite clear that what most attracts people to my magazine is the layout. This also emphasises the fact that I can appeal to people in different ways.
28. What gender do you think my magazine is aimed more at? All the people I asked thought that the magazine was aimed more at females because of the colour scheme and the content which proves that I am targeting the majority of females which is my aim.
29. Which age group do you think my magazine is aimed at? Most of the people asked thought that this magazine was aimed more at teenagers than anything else. However from the results concludes that people also think that it is aimed at younger people as well.

31. Here is the picture being edited on Photoshop to get the border effect. Here is the original image that has been edited so that you can only see the girl on the right. I have rotated the picture so that it fits in with the rest of the text.
