Detailed Research into Forms and Conventions

DJ magazine:

DJ magazine is an electronic, dance and club genre magazine, it has a typical and renowned title in which would draw a typical 'rave' audience into reading it, these are the type of people who prefer simplicity rather than complexity but that simplicity of a different culture or 'world' the colours used are typically splashed everywhere or in block colours, the font for the title itself is bubbled and the text on the cover is normal block writing, the contents page portrays the same functions as the cover but a bit more low-key and smart. The features in the magazine are simple, the pictures are used for the audience to relate and feel a part of. the colours are only blue and pink the two colours associated with boys and girls. the text used are mainly abbreviations, and the adjectives are occasionally put in all capitals to emphasise the affect. There's a central photo of a seemingly famous DJ which the audience would notice. The contents page contains an editorial and  a bi-line with the publishing details at the bottom, the page is split in two with the actual contents information on the right it has reversed out cover lines with '0' in front of the page numbers to make it more sophisticated. The double page spread has some interesting designs, two large photos in the centre of the spread with two large articles.
