Christmas edition

After research and discussion,  I've discovered the different ways in which magazines, especially pop, change their style slightly in a December issue to make it visible that it's a Christmas special. I need to make sure i don't let the seasonal aspect take over, as it will be a music magazine and should be planned around music, not Christmas. To do this i will plan out the magazine first, going by the typical codes and conventions of a pop magazine, and then add the seasonal specials on top of this, so that they are just extras. I can also plan the outfit, hair and makeup of my model around the Christmas season so that the photo will fit in with the rest of it.
