Today i focussed my attention on choosing my desired genre for my magazine; after some thoughts i chose classical because i want to give the magazine genre for classical a new electric look that will spice up the look of the magazines.
The main conventions of classical music magazines;
- Masthead: 1/6th of the front page often in red, blue, black or white.
- Colours: black/white/red,yellow font , white,
- Cover stories: main article on a specific artist
- Features: workshops, events, announcements, biography, information, about performances, concert review, what's on, women in classical music, new artists, advice, for sale, music score, venues and buildings.
- Puffs - rare - usually only one, quite simple and small
- Banners: rare
Pictures/ photography: often the front cover has the full photograph of the model in a medium or medium long shot. Inside: close ups of instruments, venues, people with instruments, long shots of performances.
- Individual shots
- Traditional genre
- Locations are: studio, interiors, buildings, workshops, recording studios
- Props: instruments
