This is my double page spread for my music magazine. I have took up more than half of one of the pages with a long shot of emily to show the reader who the onterview is on. I have also used another picture on the other page where most of the interview is. The rest of the pages are filled up with the interview. I have also added a bog quote at the top so it grabs the readers attention. The title is put across both page so it can link them both pages together.

This is my music magazine contents page. I have decided to add just two pictures on this page and have added borders around them to make them stand out more. I have used the same fonts as I have on the front page to make it look proffesional and give it an indie/rock effect. The pictues i have used are from a gig and one of the girl my main story is about.

front page with picture

This is my first attempt at my front cover for my music magazine using my own photos. I have took a picture of a girl which is a close up on her face. I did this because I thought my mock up looked good with a close up on the front page as i think it stands out more than a long shot. i have gone for a simailar layout to my prelim i have donw this because i liked the way it was set out. i have changed the coulurs around because i think it makes the black and white picture stand out more.

Front cover mock up

This is another front page with a different layout. I have tried a different colour scheme of white and blue. I have also gone for a different layout where the where the other artist are on a different side of the page. I have also added a price and a barcode to make it look more authetic. But I prefer the other layout which i have done becuase i think it looks more proffesional.

music magazine double page spread mock up

This is an idea i have had for my music double page spread. I think i may use this lay out fot my final design. I have kept with the background of being black with a white border going around the side. I have chosen to do a big picture of the artist on one of the pages and three smaller pictures doing down the side of the interview. I have chosen to have a smaller interview so the reader won't get bored. I have chosen to have the title going across both pages so they will link together well.

front cover mock up 2

This is my second mock up for music magazine. I have kept with the same idea as my first mock up but have added things to it such as a different fonts which i think make it look better. i have also added a white block where the title of the music magazine goes, i think this makes the title stand out more. I have also added the white border around the edge to make the pcture stand out more.

This is a prelim for a music magazine contents page. i have used a font which i have only just found and have decide to use this font for my frint cover splash, the title for the contents page and the splash in the double page spread. the reason why i like this font is because it is bold and has a rock vibe to it. I have also used a different font to have the stories in the page. This is also another font i have only just found. I also think I may use this on my front cover page for the sub headings fonts. I like the layout i have used because it is bold and is easy to read. The pictures i have used all link in to the stories in the magazine. i have used a white border around the outside of the page and around the pictures i like this and think i may use this for my front cover and double page spread also.

music magazine mock up

This is a mock up of an idea i have had for a music magazine. i have used a simple font which i wont use in my final product but i have just looked at the layoutn i may use. i have added a barcode which will make the magazine look more authetic and a section at the bottom with more music artist on. For the background in my music magazine i have used a picture of the artist the main story is on which i am going to do on my main magazine.
