The conventions I found from club/dance magazines were;
- Modern style font, the use of this gives it a modern/state of the art feel and in ways makes it look eccentric and in your face especially when used in bold, making it stand out just like there readers then to do with there fashion and raves. Adding on, sometimes the use of line kinda font is used, this is thin letters/characters which gives us the effect or future/rebellious so its more appealling and is inways easy to read with a dark background when light and its mainly fashionable.
- The colours the magazines tend to use are mainly primary like bright blue, yellow,white. All of these are very appealing and create a happy/dance kinda atmosphere, additionally these colours mixed with a dark background make it look futuristic and out of this world to give the impression that its special and you will have the time of your life also this can make it look more reebellious for it to stand out even more against anything else.
- The use of images the magazines use are; In normal circumstances an artist doing something spectacular or fashionable to make them look like the artist is magical with there music or just individuals which only want to stand out and make to make there music heard (making a statement or whatever). On the other hand some magazines use women in bikini's to makes a summer kinda feel to make it all happy/positive and they can get the male audience involved with all the women and beauty.
- Stories/main flash. These are mainly based around; DJ's making a come back or realising a new track after a long time, new songs/albums, biography's, artists lifestyles, fashion, new gear for DJ's, artists top ten or views on other artists, interviews, events, events review's, whats the next big thing, rising stars, news, these kinda things etc.
