Breaking Conventions

Although music magazines follow generic conventions, some magazines make exceptions and break these conventions. In my research, I looked at special editions of magazines, and the conventions that they break.


For instance, this issue of Mojo is a John Lennon special. The Magazine features the main Image of John Lennon, and one Main cover line. The reason for this is because of John lennon's iconic status in the music industry. This issue of Mojo will attract readers just with the image of John's face. The masthead is in a transparent font to place emphasis on the image, and the cover line also uses a minimalistic font to compliment the image.
