Typical conventions of some Music magazines.

I have chosen to point out some typical features/conventions of two different music magazines (you can see a more detailed review of these features in a coming presentation made by myself).

I have shown three conventions and their placement on each cover, this is to show that though each magazine breaks conventions, they must stick to some regular features (Like the ones that I have listed)

Masthead placement on DJ Mag and NME is very similar in the idea that it is a brand logo, that their audience will know, therefore it is regularly.

The main coverline idea is impressive, as both magazines use the same idea of using the band/artist title, then using word placement before each artist title to give a sort of 'draw in fact' for the audience/readers.

An obvious feature, though I thought it would be nice to point out how the placement on both the magazines is exceedingly similar once again, it is placed in such a way so that it's out of the way, but is still easily readable.
