Gaining a greater understanding of a music magazine

Today's lesson has been a bit of a change as we have strayed away from the computers. Well ... until now of course. The lesson started off with a group task and the task was to draw the chosen music magazine but only one person could describe the features of the magazine and at the end of our allotted time we compared the real magazine with our drawing. They looked nothing a like. The whole point of this activity was to find out the codes and conventions of a music magazine and to be honest it helped quite a bit. I gained a good understanding of how many colours are involved and the text justification.
