DPS
The page title and small description of what the page is about, consists of different fonts, font sizes and colour. This helps to highlight specific parts of the writing as the more important is more visible and easier to read. Some of the writing is in a different size and colour because it doesn't over power certain parts of the page.
The writing is a completely different font to the ones used for title and sub titles, this was done so the writing looks neat and easy to read, the use of the large first letter also makes the piece of writing stand out. The contents of the writing is also in a very formal and informative form, this is so that it makes it easy for all class and ages read the piece.
The pull quotes that are used in the DPS are used for highlighting what happens in certain areas of the large piece of writing, this helps the reader also to understand what the paragraph or area of writing is about. The pull quotes are all within a formal looking boarder that helps to show the pull quote in a neat and easy to read manner.
Front Cover
I followed conventions with my banners ass they all follow the same or very similar colour schemes, feel also that the colour scheme fits with the younger age group, but also the mellow classical music feel. The colour also shows different emotions that are involved in the type of music classical is such as Love and Passion; by using the Red/ Maroon colour it has aloud me to adhere to my Target Audience.
My font for my masthead helps to represent a younger generation, as it is very bold and simple; the colour is also simple but effective due to the contrast to the background. This font came from multiple different trails of various fonts but this the second it was edited on to the front cover it stuck due to its boldness and the way it cleanly fits within the page.
The puff isn't conventional as it underlaps the Masthead, but its is only done as it reads the Magazines full name not its abbreviation 'CMM', the banners shape though is used as it is a scroll which can relate to the classical music industry as it is elegant but bold. The Font colour is white as it is clearly visible upon the puff, but also as it pairs with the Mastheads colour.
Contents Page
This Puff is conventional within the sense as it is used to Title certain section of the Contents page, but isn't as the colour of the font isn't clearly visible in the puff, but its is done as the colour used is the 'Main' colour of the magazine that is found upon every page. The Style of the Puff isn't usually seen on a Classical magazine as it isn't simple of elegant, and its look more scruffy but this helps to increase the younger audience that isn't a fan of the older classical style.
This Puff and what is found in it is very conventional to music magazines, as it is used to create a larger audience and draw people in due to the various deals. The Font style and colour is very simple but thats whats needed as it is used to only gain some attention from the audience, and increase the knowledge of the magazine.
Another banner within the page had logos such as Twitter,Facebook and iTunes, this breaks conventions slightly as they aren't usually found with a banner at the bottom of a front cover, this is effective though as it is clearly visible due to the logos contrast to the banner, it also looks simple and easily recognisable due to its location upon the page.

The language and style that is used is conventional to the music magazine industry, as it is clear and is used to invite you into the magazine with various things such as competitions or free items. The font is simple and which appeals to all audiences, but could be improved for the younger audience by using more colour and a more stylish font style.
