Rule of Thirds have been applied to allow

certain articles and parts of the page to

stand out. For example the main image is
in the central hotspot since it is in the eye
line of the audience and therefore the
audience are more likely going to focus
their attention the image. In addition the
left third is occupied by the column of
articles therefore the audience can quickly
refer to want they would like rather than
look through each article individually.
Main Image (mise-en-scene) is larger than the
other images to gain the most attention as it
has more importance therefore because of the
size the audience are more likely to read the
article. Mise-en-scene and branding has been
applied this is because the connotation of
rock music is the aggressive nature. In this
particular image we see an artist crowd
surfing and shouting in a long shot (the usage
of the long shot allows a background to be set
and the main person to be revolved around).
Date line makes it clear to the read which issue
they are reading therefore the niche market of
regular subscribers can refer between their
copies of the magazine.
Column has been placed although no
apparent separation has been made but all
of the articles have been placed in the left
third. This helps with organization as when
people are reading they only need to focus
on one particular area.
Title of Contents follows the codes
and conventions of the magazine it
also gives a clear layout to the page
since it gives the page relevance
and not just random page numbers
with articles. It also gives
organisation to the page since the
heading is at the top and the
information is beneath it.
House style establishes the brand
identity of the magazine through
the consistency of the colour
scheme and fonts because it
allows the target audience to
recognise the magazine through
the subtle details for example the
consistency of the black and red
also follows the sub-genre of rock
music since black has the
connotation with gothic music.

Layout of the magazine is to allow the
reading of the page to be easy for the
audience. Therefore the column of
articles in one area and the rest of the
page is covered with the main image and
other images for the audience to focus
on.
Tone of Language is very direct
and to the point for example
Crowd Pleaser. The
conciseness creates curiosity to
the readers as they have an
extremely vague idea about
what the article is about and
hence more likely to go to the
article to find out what theyre
on about.
Page Numbers are applied to
the articles so the readers
are able to select the article
they want to read and
therefore go to that page to
read it. This is a fundamental
part of the contents page as
it gives the article relevance
hence it is a part of the codes
and conventions of the page.
Fonts are all serif fonts because it is clearer to read for all
people they are also varied. However, branding has been set in
the title of the magazine through the eroded effect as it follows
the rebellious connotation with rock music and thus looks
appropriate on the page
Sub-headings allows the groups
of articles to be put into
categories and also makes each
article clear on the page since
the sub-heading allows the
target audience scan through
and focus on the articles they
prefer hence if the target
audience want read reviews
they can refer to that sub-
heading since it stands out from
the smaller text.
