The magazine layout sticks to magazine conventions seen in the market already. The masthead is poistioned at the top of the page from left to right. This is typically where mastheads are poistioned. Challenging this concept would be risky and could jepodise the success of the magazine.
The image is large and centerd which again is conventional of film magazines across all genres. The large image is an important of which I established from my audience research so therefore, concentrated mostly on the poistioning of the main image on the front cover to keep conventional forms the same as well as making the magazine appeal to the target audience of teens. The image is overlapping the masthead which again is conventional in all magazines not just film magazines across all genres and would be a big mistake to not keep to the conventions. Challenging this concept breaks down the reality of the magazine and is a form that should not be challenged.
The other uses of puff and plug I have decided to use is not a concept and trait of magazine front covers from the high end market. This is some think I intend to challenge by using the uses of puff and plug. This is because I intened to make my magazine not only fit in with conventional traits from the high end market of film magazines where I am placing my magazine, but also appeal to the target audience of the film. With the uses of puff and plug my magazine will appeal to my target audience of teens which will challenge the conventions seen in high end magazines. One of these texts use will be the actors names and the film title. This again is another concept seen on film magazine front covers and helps bring attention to the magazine as well as providing a professional look.
My magazine will also have the date, issue number and barcode present to help make the magazine look professional. These are added extras which will help bring the reality of the magazine out. They are essentials to publishing and do have to be poistioned right against all of the other aspects of the magazine front cover to balence the page out.
