4. You can see that my magazine has many conventions to similar professional magazines.
Both use a sans serif font which stands out and makes the magazines look bolder. The
texts all use bright colours and both names of the magazine are at the top to show
they are the name. The layouts are very similar too, the main image covering the
magazine and relating to the main headline which is at the bottom of the magazine in
a much larger text than the cover lines. Both the magazines have a date, issue number
and price which are conventional for a magazine. They also have a barcode.

7. My poster is very conventional and similar to other professional posters. You
can see this as they both have a main image of the main characters that are in
conventional clothing and props. Both of the posters have a bold title that
stands out from the other text. There are credits and a coming soon near the
bottom of the poster which is conventional.
