Generic Conventions of a Pop Magazine

·         Vibrant and bright colours are used for the front page
·         Imagery has been laid out in a collage form which is informal but appealing
·         Titles are bold and match the colour schemes on the page
·         Text can have a drop capital at the start to indicate where to start reading
·         The contents list is laid out into separate columns
·         The main image either sits in front or behind the heading
·         Each page is busy, there are no blank spaces
·         Font size is around 11pt
·         Top of the front cover generally advertisement – a feature in magazine or a sales item
·         All headings are in colour, but the body of the text is in black and simple font.   
·         The main story often has a related image on the front page which is larger than the rest
·         Headlines are quite short and simple
·         Quotes are often used from an artist (a story featured in the magazine) on the front cover
·         The colour scheme usually stays the same throughout the magazine
·         The contents list is short sentenced and doesn’t give the stories away
·         The way text has been written is informal and this would appeal to the Pop target audience
