In a magazine you are likely to find certain things on it, these are known as conventions, and here is a list of these conventions:


-Release Date
-Album Name
-the Artist Name
-Reviews
-Websites
- Scanning items for more info about the magazine
-Images
-Where certain songs may be available, e.g itunes, HMV etc.
