Main Task - Codes and Conventions of music magazine contents page.

  • Issue numbers

  • Letter from the editor - right mode of address
  • Page numbers by stories

Codes and conventions are sometimes there to be broken to make the contents page, for example mojo. It has a more simple layout and only has 2 columns of the main stories. Also it doesnt have any subsidiary image only one main image, the main image is of two men and neither are them are looking at the camera and connecting with the audience. Moreover contents pages are very useful because they are seperated in subheadings e.g. regular content, features and news.
