In my proposal I wanted to create a magazine that was both entertaining and educational. I think I have made the magazine more about entertainment than education. I also wanted it to be a magazine that would highlight unsigned Sheffield bands. I've interviewed Calling Angels and I've been to a gig and I've reviewed The Vellas who are both unsigned Sheffield bands. I have made my magazine about music and I think it will appeal to 16-19 as I outlined in my proposal.
In my proposal I said I would have "a front cover with my masthead at the top and the acts from one of my double page
spreads will be on the cover. The front cover will show the masthead, main
cover image and cover lines." I have succeeded in this because I've got my masthead at the top of the magazine and a list of all the bands that will feature in my magazine. This links back to the brief as it a Sheffield based magazine for a Sheffield based company. The magazine relates to both Sheffield and the target audience as it is about bands with a teenage following that are from Sheffield or are in Sheffield at the time. This follows magazine conventions as it includes a masthead, a main cover image, an idea self/partner, main cover lines and Sell lines.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2CP5J8Zo5dS73G2eNlTylzMIVijk0qRpLXCejwGCF8v7Zd2_FY_ncCV2Uj3RwDLDbAXS_pYsegTH_2N8ez_rR2F7gdg5lGixL6GimCvL1lMXo93H8DRFMUxNOl3PBpJcytm-fJ1g-7YE/s400/Screen+Shot+2018-02-12+at+10.11.11.png)

In my contents page I have given a list of the features that will be in the magazine. In my proposal I said I would have a list of the “Top ten gig places in Sheffield” and I have included this in my contents and this was in the brief in SPH publishing. I have also added a list of regular pieces and features along with the page numbers of where the articles would be. The magazine conventions observed in the content page are as follows, there is a banner, the page consists of a summary of the contents of the magazine, there is a main image. I did this be using the box tools and place tool to get the image in the place and the text boxes tools. The image below are what I used.

This is the placement tool which help me put my magazine image on.
This is the text tool so I could write the summary of what in the magazine and title.

My double page spread is of a band call Calling Angels who appear on the front cover. This is a young band who should appeal to my target market of young Sheffielders. The article is in a question and answer format and has a picture of the band on it. In my proposal I said I would do a review of a gig but I decided to interview a band instead because I thought the article would connect more with my readers. This also includes magazine conventions such as Ideal self/partner, is written like an interview and has gutters.
