When I started this project, I didn't know about the codes and conventions of a music magazine and how magazines follow a house style that makes them easily recognisable. I couldn't use Indesign or Photoshop as they were new programmes for me. The main skills I have picked up from this project are how to use professional design programmes and organisation. I've learnt that in order for a magazine to be appropriate for a purpose it has to have a relevant target audience which it caters for throughout the publication. I've learnt that all magazines contain a masthead which includes the title and date the magazine was published which is a convention. The conventions of the majority of magazines follow a house style of between 3-4 colours. By creating a readership profile I discovered how different audiences are represented and the stereotypes that go along with this. I learnt that designs look more professional when they are in columns as they are aesthetically appealing.
