Other conventions

Other conventions may include:
An image where the model is making eye contact with the audience, engaging the reader further.
The Name Of the artist being written about will also be in one of the largest texts of the page.
Before the actually article or interview that is wrote, there will be an introduction in to who the artist is, information describing them and telling the reader who they are.
The article itself is usually informal as it relaxes the reader making it a more enjoyable read.

Examples of differences between 2 photo shoots


Before-







2nd time round




this was my original plan for photos in my magazine

After the original photo shoot was taken i decided to do a second soon after as the lighting was'nt great in the studio and this made the quality of the photos poor, as you can see from the ones i have taken there were a few photos that were blurred and also no brilliant for magazine photos
