1. BY DAMIEN ASHTON-WELLMAN MUSIC MAGAZINE EVALUATION

8. I chose to have my mast head within a box, both to try and get the same effect as Kerrang and so the shadow would stand out from the back ground. I also chose to have my side article on the left third because this is a great place to put things you want people to see as when the magazines are stacked that’s all that is showing LEFT THIRD LEFT THIRD I wanted the text to match the style of Kerrang, so I used a short mast head and added statement as the sub text. I wanted also to have a free gift on my magazine because it helps sell a magazine, I placed it like Kerrang in the left third so that readers see a free gift first and therefore are more likely to buy it. Lastly I placed a bottom strip like Kerrang only I used my one as a competition were as Kerrang used it as a menu.

9. I wanted to repeat the mast head 0n the contents to keep the house style flowing over from the front cover and to keep the structure of the Metal Hammer magazine. I also added a main image to my contents page, I kept the structure and placement of Metal Hammer but instead of using lots of images I used one single main image. For the text the position was the same as Metal Hammer as well as using 2 different font sizes and styles, but with mine instead of having 2 columns of information I only had 1 and added three icons at the bottom of the text box.
