double page spread

This is my double page spread. The font is linking with the masthead font and the sell lines. I have chosen three images for this page as i wanted her to dominate the page and to also use a range of different ways for her to be presented.

My Photos

Here are my photos i have taken as samples for my front cover and double page spread. These still need editing and made more presentable.

I.T Draft

This is my i.t draft for my front cover. I have added stars to the front to give it a more special feel and also it relaes to stardom.

Similiar Covers

Even though these are not music magazines they have the same type of cover photo of the music artist Leona Lewis. These are examples of similiar designs i have for my front cover. I will be using one person for the front cover as i feel this is a way f attracting mroe readers if the page isn't too packed full of images.

This is a scan of my plan of my contents page. The title of the contents page will be at the top on the centre of the page. It will also include the image of the new artist to the right of the page which will take up a quarter of the page and then the page nubers to the left with the features at the bottom of the page as this is a least important factor of the page.

This is my main cover plan for my music magazine. I decided to have the masthead to the upper left as it wont cover up too much of the main image. I have also made the price also at the upper rght so it wont cover up the main image as the image will be the biggest selling point of the magazine. The sub headings will include selling lines and advertisements for the inside of the magazine. For example there will be quotes from interviews that it will inlcude and it will also include points of the music artists that i have on the front page.

My target audience for my magazine will be 16-18yr olds as this is the age when they know what music they like and the genre they want to listen to. It is also a popular age for teens to buy magazines of what they are interested in. I want it to appeal mainly to girls and the front image will be off a girl group who will look confident. It will be around the price of £3.20 as this will appeal to a certian group of people who like decent magazine and you can identify them by the price.

<< This is a mind map of the LIIAR conventions of media magazines and what they need to include.

This page spread focuses on the work Shakira does in the studio when recording her music. This shows that she enjoys her work and she tries her best at what she does.

The main image is a long shot so we the readers are able to see all of her body and the studio she works in. There is also another image of her but she is posed more sexy and without a top which would attract more readers. This shows another side to her and her personality.

The text involves words such as 'Danger' which connotates her work and music is dangerous so people need to get ready for her music. The lighting is also quite harsh in the studio which would highlight her features.

This page spread is different in layout, content and images than the previous example.

The main image takes up 3/4 of the page. They are not smiling in the picture and this makes them look confident but their positions make them looked relaxed and calm. The writing on the page consists of different colours and in different fonts. The main word you see is 'Brother' which relates to the band as they are called The Jonas Brothers. This is in bold writing and at the bottom of the image so it doesn't cover up the image. It is also outlined in bright pink with the letters in white. This makes it stands out more tothe readers and it also relates to the audience as it is mostly young girls who are big fans of the band. There are also quotes in pink writing from the bands interview which happens on the opposite page. Again this attracts the readers.

There are also smaller images on the opposite page of them performing which their fans would like to look at as they enjoy seeing them perform. This also shows the work that they do and how serioud they are about doing it.
