Similarity’s of my magazine cover to conventions.

Differences of my magazine to normal magazine conventions

Simplistic logo, abbreviated. Masthead in the center.

Masthead to the side, along tilt with the main image.

skyline, I felt having one ruins my simplistic look

Having a main image, in a music magazine, typically an artist, the feature story, it was not question having this.

I had the main image be framed by all of the text on the cover, to create a sense of importance with the image, while the typical convention is to have the main cover line of the main image.

Cover lines on the side of the image. I went for a minimalistic colour scheme while music magazines, tend to go with brighter colours.

Barcodes, put obviously this is needed I used one photo, and its only the main image , since I want to give my audience the impression he is important/important enough to be on the cover alone.
