During the project we had to stick the codes and conventions of music magazines, this meant that using stereotypical conventions would make my magazine successful. By using similar conventions to other magazines it meant that my creativity was influenced by other magazines, and my creativity had to appeal to both males and females. I used a theme of mainly red and black and although this targeted a majority of males it could attract certain females who are aware that males would go for this type of magazine, this is a use of intertextuality. I produced all the pictures myself and designed all the graphics within the magazine, as an attempt to portray my creativity and make my magazine look extremely professional.
