Final Contents Draft

I particularly like this plan as it would have an equal amount of text to picture however other details would be added to make the contents page look more professional, know I have to decide which layout plan I like the most and then use it to start creating the final draft so I can start to create my final draft.

Contents page Layout draft 2

This is another idea but it needs work it is a bit plan and needs other information like competition information and contact information but i do like the idea of the large picture which takes up half of the page as a contents page needs to be attractive and interesting it would be boreing with too much text.

Contents page Layout draft 1

This is my first idea for the layout of the contents page. This is just a rough draft of what the final draft will look like, as you can see there will be be text on the left hand side and pictures on the right, I think there will be more picture than text, the text should be brief and attractive to catch the audiences attention, this is also to gain there interest. There also needs to be the magazine logo on then contents page to make it look more professional, it will also be important to add contact information just so audience can get in touch to give us some feedback and they can use website to join in on competitions.

Draft 3 (final Draft)


This is my final draft of my cover, it is set out well. I like the minimal and simple colours, it gives the magazine a great effect especially withe the colourfully and attractive straplines, i have now also added the website address a price label for magazine and a barcode. I have also changed the Headline to a quote from the interview within the magazine to make the story look more effective and interesting. I have also made the stapline bigger and bolder to interact with its audience. The font has also been changed and improved it noe looks alot neater than before.
Now I need to come up with some contents page drafts and ideas so that i can make a decent one to be included in the magazine, firstly I will look at layouts then i will go on to think about colours, pictures etc and start to head towards final draft of my contents page.

New Font Styles

Here are some ideas font the main font for magazine cover logo Font, I like them all they are rustic and have a worn eroded feel to them, please help me choose by giving me some feeback :)


Front cover Draft 1

This is my first draft of the cover, I like the black and white theme I thik it works well, however I think i need to make some improvements, I think the title needs to be bigger and in a different font, I also think the headline needs to be bigger and spread across the page, also the cover line colours need to be made more viable so they are easier to read but I think overall it was a good first attempt.

Front cover picture ideas : )

I have recently been out to take some pictures for my magazine, for now I am going to focus on cover pictures, My pictures must look professional and glamourous, they must be like this to attract target audience to influence them to buy magazine.

Picture 1



















I like this picture, it is very natural, as you can see the person in this picture is not showing eye contact this is because he was focusing on the guitar, which I prefer a picture like this rather then a posed picture as it is more classic. If i did use this picture i would add effect to make it more interesting though to attract more attention.

Picture 2

















This is another picture I could use for my cover, i do like it but it would need to be edited as it is quite a cramped so it would need to be spaced out to be more effective. The picture is also quite a long shot so it is hard to see detail but i will lokk over all pictures and decide which is right for the cover.


Picture 3


This is another idea for the cover picture.
If anyone has any idea or any feedback please let me know as it will be a great help.
