Contents Page First Draft

Rough Layout

First Draft

Here we can see the first rough draft of my music magazine's contents page. This gives me an idea of the layout and house style I will be using but also the font types that I will mix on this page that coordinate with each other. The page is unfinished and there are still many improvements that can be made such as the use of more pictures, an editors note, more page listings and perhaps a brighter pug for the advertisement of magazine subscriptions that is clearer to the reader. I am yet to make these improvements but I am pleased with the contents so far.

Front Cover- Third Draft (with headlines)

Third Draft

I still have a few improvements to add to this draft such as adding more pictures or changing the headlines, but the layout and style of this draft is my favourite so far. The red on this stands out from other magazines as it is more of a subtle red, but it also matches the main subjects lipstick and therefore keeps the house style throughout. This will most likely be the style and layout of my final draft.

First Drafts of Front Cover

First Draft

Here is the first draft of the front cover of my music magazine. This was more of a test to see if my image would work, however I have learnt from this that this image will not allow me to add many headlines or pugs as these would obstruct the image. Due to this I am going to try a different image that has a larger space around the edge for pugs and text and see if that will work any better.

Second Draft

I believe this image will work muh better as there is much more space around the outside of the subject for other image, pugs and text. This is most likely to be the image I use for my final magazine.

Layout Designs

Layout Designs- Front Cover, Contents page and Double Page Spread

Front Cover Layout

This is a simple layout that will attract the audinec through a larger background image of an artist. The front page represents my house style and so I will have to ensure that my whole house style comes across on this page.

Contents Layout

This would be a clear, chronological contents layout so that the reader will understand what pages different articles are on. The top right corner however will need a bit of work as there is a lot of blank space to fill, but this problem will be resolved when it comes to designing my magazine fully.

The use of circles for image will be used throughout my magazine as part of my slightly retro themed house style.

Double Page Layout

I have taken inspiration for this from both NME and Q as they both possess an 'Audience Opinion' pug on their double page spread. This would entice the reader and give other peoples opinions so they can create their own. The article will be clear and concise so that it is easy to read and the order cannot be confused.
