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.
