I have completed a draft of my double page spread. I have again tried to follow conventions of a magazine by using a pun on the article heading. Also by making use of a floating quote as well as using some images along with questions and answers in an attempt to fill up the spaces on the page which is a typical feature of music magazines.

Contents page draft

This is another stage of the production of my contents page. I managed to follow most of the conventions on a contents page by making use of images supported by relevant texts. Also by having an editorial and separated information on special features and regular features.

I have almost completed the construction of my contents page. Again I have tried to follow the conventions of a contents page by presenting images with the relevant texts to back it up. Also I have made use of an editorial and departments such as regular features and special features specific to this edition of the magazine. I have tried to again base mine on contents pages done by professionals such as Vibe and XXL.

These are some of the potential images I am looking to use for my contents page. Some being relevant to the fashion section of my magazine and some representing artists in my magazine.

This is the production stages i have gone through for my front cover of my magazine. I have decided to use a white font as the third font instead of blue because there were too many primary colours. I have also included more sell lines to make the magazine follow the typical conventions of a music magazine. I have also varied the sizes of the font as I said I would because some stories are more important than others and it is important to emphasise this fact.

Front cover draft

production log

I have managed to finish the construction of my front cover and have done this in comparison with an edition of Vibe magazine where the artist is applying the same pose as the artist in my magazine. I done this because the shot size is an MCU and uses firect mode of address where the reader is targetted directly by the model. As he is making eye contact with the audience. Also I have managed to make the masthead 3D by using different layers of fonts and merging them together to form a shadowed layer making the font look 3D.

This is the second stage of the production of my front cover. I decided to change the image of the model as I believe that this image is more suitable as the other was slightly slanted. Also I made adaptions to the font using the blending options tool.
