Today I have decided two look at two different magazines that are from different eras. The magazine on the left is from the late 40's and as you can see there are some differences from the vibe magazine 2010. Firstly the in the vibe magazine the two main focuses are the masthead and main cover image which is typical for most music magazine nowadays as they are the two most Important selling points. However in the magazine on the left everything seems to blend in and usually there is more focus on the main cover image but in this magazine the cover image doesn't not look important maybe suggesting the magazine is solely about music not the artist unlike modern magazines. Though these magazines are quite different there are still consistency's with the codes and conventions, for example there is still an identifiable masthead on both magazines and they both have cover lines and anchorage text to give the audience an insight as to what will be on the inside of the magazine. By looking at these magazines I can see how far music magazines have come and even though it have evolved to suit the Morden day person there are still constancy's within them. When I come to create my music magazine I know that I have to consider my audience and whether or not what I want to put in will be suitable for them.
