Contents page- Final


Contents page 1


Double Page Spread Final

I decided the caption above the picture didn't work so I deleted it. I also added a few bits to make it look more realistic. This includes a website address at the bottom, a page number, the writer and photograph's names, the masthead at the top and a quote from the celebrity. This all follows conventions of similar music magazines.

I have continued to add the text as well as playing around with the caption at the top of the picture, deciding if it works or not.

 Here, I have added my double page spread picture as well as just adding the beginning of the article to play around with and see what works well and what doesn't.

Front Cover- Identify


In my final piece, I added another plug onto the front cover, stating the price, as well as adding more rectangular shapes to give it a sense of continuity. I also made the whole cover a bit lighter to enhance the image and also make the text easier to use. I stuck to a basic white, black and grey text colours as the background and the guitar is quite colourful which makes the text hard to match up. This is why I stuck to basic text so I can keep the background the same, as well as the bright colours making the dull ones stand out.

Front Cover 2


For this draft, I just added a few extras to the cover. I added a plug to the "Reading festival line up: full review" coverlines. I also added the "Issue 254" bit to add a sense of realism to the cover.
