Contents Page Update

I have added an extra information part to my contents page and i have added a hint of colour to it to make it more presentable to my target audience.  I moved the image to the side to be able to add more information, I did this because it will pull the audience in and they will want to read more about it.

Lesson Update

This lesson, I'm going to be editing my contents page to make it stand out more and to make it more like a real magazine so that people would want to buy it.

Contents Page Update

I have added more page numbers because my magazine is a monthly magazine and they tend to have more pages.  I have also added some more text to the "Subscribe" part of the magazine to get more publicity and to get people to buy the magazine.

Contents Page Update

I have now put the font cover on the contents page for the subscription.  I feel like my contents page is coming along very well and my magazine is now starting to come together.

Contents Page Edit

This is the start of my contents page for my music magazine.  I have a dominant image of the band at the top and I have kept the masthead the same but I have just changed the colour of it so it stands out on a white background.  I have added page numbers with a little information about what is on that page and I have added the website at the bottom.  I have put and little information about subscribing to the magazine, however, I still have to put a photo of the front cover on there too so it references to that.

Front Cover Update

 

It is only a slight change but I have added 'stroke' to the tag line o give it a black outline to make it stand out a little and to show that it connected to the masthead.

Front Cover Edit Update

I have changed the colour of the essential information because I thought that there was too much yellow on the cover and also it isn't as important as the puff and the sub head.

Magazine Front Cover Update (2)

I have now put my cover lines in a banner at the bottom of my magazine and put the puff further up the magazine.  I have done this because it looks more effective and the cover lines stand out more and they now don't fade into the wall in the background.

Magazine Front Cover Update

I have now changed the colour of my main sell line because it was fading into one of my model's shirts and now it stands out more and it is more visible.  I have also changed the font of my cover lines to make them bolder and so they don't fade into the wall.  I have also made the tag line bigger because it was too small and hard to see.

Lesson Update

In this lesson, I plan to check my spelling, re-size my dominant image and also play about with the font and colour of my text.

Reflection On Front Cover

 

I feel that my front cover is coming along really well and it is starting to come together.  Everything that I wanted to do this lesson has been done and even some extra things, such as, putting in an extra banner and changing the colour of my sub head.  I am very pleased with how my magazine is turning out. 

Front Cover Edit Update (2)

 

I have now edited my sub head and changed the colour to yellow to make it now vibrant and for it to stand out for the reader and also Kerrang! magazine uses yellow a lot of their front covers so I thought that it would look effective.  I have also added a circle behind the word 'Plus' to make it visible because it was blending into the background.  I have also added an extra banner at the top of my magazine and added some text that will apply to all of the readers. 

Front Cover Edit Update

I have edited the masthead but putting a black outline around it to make it stand out and so it doesn't bleak into the background of the image.  I have also put the magazines website on there and I have added some extra information on the right hand side just to make it more interesting and eye catching to the reader.

What Is Inspiring Me To Create My Music Magazine

What is inspiring me to make my music magazine like this is having all of the band on the front cover  for the dominant image instead of just the lead singer.  I like it this way because it shows you that all of the band are important in the music that they create and I think that all of the band play a huge part in their success, not just one individual.  Also, I am getting inspiration from the main sell line and the sub head because they stand out and they go straight across the image of the band which I really like because it makes both, the dominant image and the main sell line, stand out and it shows the reader that both the image and the text are connected.
Also, the band that I am basing my magazine on, Real Gone, is a huge inspiration to me because their lyrics mean a lot to me and also everyone that listens to them.  They create amazing music that deserves to be heard and they are a down to earth group of guys that enjoy what they do which is a big inspiration to me.

Front Cover Update

In todays lesson, I plan on editing my front cover and changing the fonts on some of my text and maybe putting some extra information on there.

Front Cover Progress

This is a reflection of what I have been doing this lesson.  This is my front cover for my magazine.  I think that it is coming along very well but there is a few changes that I may have to make, such as, the essential information font to make it stand out more. I will be putting on an image of concert tickets to add to the give away.  Overall, the front cover is coming along great and I am very happy with my progress.
