Conventional - follow/change

I plan to still follow the basic conventions of a music magazine as I plan to have musical content in the magazine. My main content is going to follow artist from the north east however as this is such a small amount of people and yet I plan to draw in a large variety of people I will use other people in the magazine but I am going to try and give it a sense of loyalty to the local celebrities. I am going to use the masthead in the conventional top space of the magazine, I will also use sell-lines around the main image (another conventional I am following having an image on the front cover), and I am having a contents page which will give audiences a better understanding of what is in the magazine.
