Conclusion • Overall, you can see that my magazine uses a lot of forms and

conventions, such as a bold masthead on the front cover, the use of a subscription on the contents page, and the use of a large main image on the double page spread.

• However, I have challenged some forms and conventions in all three pages, such as not using a main cover line in the front cover, likewise, there is an absence of a main image in the contents page whereas in the contents pages I saw of real magazines, there is usually a main image of the cover story.

• Nevertheless, I did develop some forms and conventions, with the use of advertising my website on my contents page, and using more than one image too.
