Double page spread

This is my final draft of my double page spread. I decided to use a grey font as to blends in well with my main photograph. I edited the main image using special effect called coloursplash. I changed the font colour of the interviwer's questions to white to make clear who was saying what. I chose to have different effects on all three of the smaller pictures to give a range of photographs to make it more intresting and apealing.

This is my first draft of my double page spread.

Contents page

This is my final draft for my content's page. I decided to position the masthead in the same position as on my front cover as whilst doing my research, most, if not all music magazines use the masthead in the same position. This is the main way I have stuck to the general forms and conventions of a real magazine.
I decided to use the same fonts as on my front cover as I think this is a valuable part of the content page.
I used two different pictures of the artists who feature in my double page spread as I think it is best to not repeat what will be on the double page spread.

First draft Front cover

This is my first draft of my music magazine front cover.

Front cover

This is my final draft of my music magazine front cover. I feel I have progressed from my first draft as I have developed to use alot more of the software and make it stand out more.

I did alot of research on other music front covers and this gave me idea's and inspiration on what to create my front cover like. I decided to use red and white Sans serif font for my masthead as whilst looking at several types of covers I decided that Q magazine had the best Mast head so I chose to make a similiar one.

I decided to put the main artist infront of the masthead as it seems to give a better effect that the artist is why you should purchase the magazine. I got this idea from Rolling Stones which also has the artist covering parts of the masthead, but leaving enough to demonstrate which magazine it is. I feel that my magazine cover looks realistic and fits the conventions of my researched magazine covers, such as NME, Q and Rolling Stones as they all have had a impact on my design an layout of my front cover

This is the original picture I chose to use for my double page spread. I used effects from photo shop to give it a more unusual look. I chose bold colours to stand out and to give it more of a indie effect. I thought taking the photograph in Liverpool train station would be a good idea to demonstrate that the girls are very proud to be from the city. I decided for them not to look at the camera as with research, alot of indie groups tend not to look at the camera and give of a serious pose. Overall I am very happy with my photo.

This double page spread is from Kerrang magazine. This double page spread seems to be more rock which has helped me to define what genre I would like my double page spread to be. I chose Indie as my genre as I think it is the best kind of music and they arn't enough just indie magazines. With this double page spread the text is small an not much quanity. The main colours is mainly black which represents the theme of Blink 182.
