In this slide I have compared my contents page to the contents page featured in NME.1. Short introduction - Both my contents page and NME's content page feature a short introduction, this is to connect with the reader somewhat, as if there was just information on this page then it would seem very rigid and formal. The nature of the introduction does differ, as NME's features the start of an article whereas mine showcases the editors note, in this sense my contents page is both using and developing the conventions of the real media product
2. Headings - Both contents pages have headings under which the articles, a long with page numbers are listed, the reason i decided to use this very widely used convention was because it brings the contents page together and gives it organization.
3. Gig Guides - Gig guides are used in any good music magazine, it's a simple way to attract your audience and it gets you revenue as those performing at the gigs give you money to feature their gigs, these are the reasons i conformed to this handy convention
4. Heading - Again another convention that i have used and yet changed is the heading at the contents page, my heading features a short message underneath it, this is again a way for me to attract my target audience, as it is another place i can put slang and language that will relate to my target audience
5. Picture - Both my contents page and NME's feature a picture, but the nature of the photos differ, mine is used as a headshot to show the audience who the editor is, this is a convention for many music magazines, the one featured in NME here however is linked to an article and shows a band playing, the appeal of this is great as it again attracts the reader to a main story that the magazine wants to get viewed the most.
