My final double page spread

My final double page spread for my music magazine 

For my final product, I made some changes and included images which i took myself. I added images of the artist being interviewed and this was to give the reader an idea of who it is if they didm't know who. On the right hand side of the page is an interview of the guest music artist and their words on the rumours going around about them. The interviewee ask the questions and then she answers, this is an effective way of letting the reader find out more about the artist and know when their next music is going to be released. I followed through with the colours which were both used on my frontcover and also contents page to give my magazine a flow to it, I however decided to use a lot of black text on the interview page because it stands out against the red text and white background making it easier for the audience to read. I used images of the model smiling because the interview represents how she is back and coming with new albums. I completed this double page spread on the 22nd of march, in time to hand it in before the easter half term.

My double page spread in the making

My double page spread in the making 

This is my double page spread in the making and not the finished product. I followed my plan of a double page spread and looked at similar magazine double page spread issues from "VIBES". The spread includes a main image of the music artist being interviewed and a stiking bold masthead which will in no doubt grab the eye of the audience's attention. In my next upload will be the final product of my magazine doublepage spread. This double page spread in the making was made on the 21/march 2013, to complete this, I had to fill in the spaces left with text from the interview 

My final music magazine contents page

My final music magazine contents page 

This is my music magazine contents page after its been finally done. I made a few changes and added to it for my final product, The image i took made it look more like a music magazine contents page giving it more to look at rather than texts alone. I used similar colours as i did in my front cover and this is to give my magazine a flow in colour pattern, these colours stand out as I have a white background helping the image to stand out too. The contents page in my magazine is very important because it tells the audience what the magazine will contain as they read through. This is very helpful for the reader because it is a page which tells you what the other pages have making it much easier to allocate pages. I filled the page with more text of what the magazine features.

My making of music magazine contents page 

This is a print screen my contents page in the making. I looked for ideas from the very popular magazine from America called VIBE and this helps me layout and set out my magazine. I then used similar colours as I used in my front cover to add to my contents page so it the colours used have the same flow in my magazine.  In my next upload will be the final product of the contents page with the image I chose.  This was done on the 21/march 2013, at this point I was a little far behind so I had to get an image in completion of my contents page

MY FINAL MUSIC MAGAZINE COVER 

This is my final music magazine front cover and I used a striking image to create attention to a buyer when passing by. I also used this image because it is very eye catching as the model is looking directly in the camera creating intensity but also softness with a little smile. I used bright colours for my front page because it attracts the featured audience and brings the front cover alive. I also used a bold masthead which says 'number 1' to show how highly rated the magazine is and how it is at the top of all r'n'b magazine ranking. On the front cover, I including the price and a barcode making it look very professional and as a magazine in a shop would have. Going down the side are some urban featured music give the audience the idea of what will be included in this issue of the magazine.

MUSIC MAGAZINE FRONT COVER PLAN

This was my first music magazine front cover plan. I made this plan to give me a brief idea of how my magazine cover's layout would turn out and if it would have looked organised. I followed the structure of the plan while creating my magazine cover and it helped me as it gave me a set out of how to lay out my main image and my masthead.
