LO3 - Conventions of the genre

• Both mastheads are displayed at the top of the page this helps them to be recognised
• I chose to use my certain background image as it fits in with the theme of sheffield and genre indie
• I used similar bright colours on my front cover this helps the mast head and the cover lines stand out and making them easier to read 
• I have used a similar sized font for my main cover story this helps it be the most noticeable story on the front cover  

• I have used a large font for the title of contents page in order to let the reader know what page they are currently on
• I have used images related to the articles shown on the page that also relate to the genre of indie and the theme of sheffield 
• I have given a brief description for the articles within the magazine in order to entice the reader into carrying on to read
