Magazine so far

Now I have 2 pieces of my magazine. These can still be edited, and i am currently working on my double page spread. One idea that i have had is to change the headline on the front cover. I may change this to the red that i have used on the front cover so that the magazine flows and has the same house style all the way through the magazine.

Contents page V2

This is my progress on my contents page. In this version I have changed up the text on the contents page. The text was described as "too chunky". because of this i have decided to make the text smaller, aswell as the text boxes below. I have also added a link to a social network site so that the audience can contact the magazine.

Double Page Progress

This is the progress of my double page spread so far. I will be attempting to complete this by the 25th of march.

 

Contents page first draft

This is the first draft of my magazines front cover. After receiving feedback I will make any changes necessary.

QR codes

QR codes are like barcodes that smartphones are able to scan. These are used in magazines as a way that readers can see exclusive videos or a link to promote something. I am hoping to use a QR code in my double page spread as a link to an interview by the artist or to the magazines website.




this is what a QR code looks like

contents page progress

this is my progress of my contents page. I am still improving it at the minute. Things i need to improve are
More pictures
Smaller text
more information

re-taken photos analysis #2

the second picture that i had taken consists of a solo artist. This will be used as the main image on my contents page because of it's simplicity. The picture consists of the artist standing with his arms crossed in the casual attire associated with the genre. The arms folded gives off the sense that he is very serious, helped along with his facial expressions. He too is giving direct address to the audience meaning readers can share this "connection" with the artist. I have planned to have the artist to the left side of the page, and to keep all text to the right side of the page, this is because i want the magazine to look simplistic, rather than be filled with unnecessary texts and pictures.
