Labeling this magazine with the technical conventions made me realize the importance of using typicalities when creating a magazine so that the magazine is successful and lives up to the audiences expectations. These technical conventions include:

• mastheads
• main cover lines
• main cover star
• cover lines
• pugs
• plugs
• price and issue
• bar codes
• insets
• captions

This will help me when I create my own music magazine as I will be able to use these technical conventions in order to increase sales and make my magazine successful.
