1. DRAFT LAYOUTS.
Basic paper base layouts of my front
cover, contents page, and double page spread.

2. In this presentation there will be two draft layouts
of some ideas that I would like my front
cover, contents page, and double page spread to
look like.
To help me deicide which idea I will use the most I
I will be putting up a poll so that people of my
target audience age range can choose which
layout looks best to them.

3. FRONT COVER 1;
My main inspiration for my
front cover ideas was
Kerrang, as I like the way they
don’t always use a full photo for
their main photo, and I also like
the way they advertise things
that will be within the
magazine, as they make it
interesting, and eye catching.
I have took ideas from various
different magazines, as i looked
at a rather large variety as I
found it was important not to concentrate on just genres that
were close to mine as other music magazines could had a lot of
ideas i may like. And example of this is the two pictures with the
Vs sign in the middle. I found inspiration of this from a younger
generation magazine, in which the music genre was pop, and I
found inspiration of the posters section from a rock magazine.

4. FRONT COVER 2;
The second front cover I sketched, I
did not sketch it to normal
convention, as my barcode, price and
date are towards the top of the
page, but I think that it works for this
type of style of magazine. This layout
I feel is very basic and even thought
this can be good, as no attention will
be taken away from the main
picture, as this was one of the main
things i wanted to avoid whilst
making my
front cover, however if i choose to go through
with a layout like this, or even this layout, I feel
that there may not be enough eye catching
things included on the front cover.

5. CONTENTS PAGE 1;
The way in which I am going to be
setting out the word ‘contents’ and
the way it will be laid out, will be
the same as i did in my pliminary
exercise. This is because I like the
layout and i also think it works well
and will fit in with any type of
organisation of the contents.
I also think the way that I have
positioned information around the
picture was interesting, I found
inspiration for this from a magazine
called Kerrang.

6. CONTENTS PAGE 2;
I took inspiration in which the way
that I have organised the main picture
on this contents page was from a
fashion magazine, mixed with another
media students, i merged the two
together and this is what I cam up
with.
I thought that it would be a good idea
to follow original convention with the
way that the information is set out as
the rest of my contents page does not
follow original convention at all.

7. DOUBLE PAGE
SPREAD 1;
This double page spread
contains the original ideas I
had for my double page
spread. I took some
inspiration from the
magazine Kerrang, and
added my own twist to it. I
think that if i was to do this
on Photoshop what it
would look a lot better and would work well. As i would like to use it as
a sort of theme for the whole of my magazine. I also feel that it was a
good idea for me to use a little picture within the interview as the
interview I personally think that it will look less boring, and people will
want to read it more.

8. DOUBLE PAGE
SPREAD 2;
I think that this double
page spread could work
quite well, as originally i
didn’t want a picture on
one side, as it meant that
the other side would just
be text and this could be
boring for my target
audience, so instead of
this I included some
Little pictures at the top of the page so that the
double page spread would not look so boring on one
page.
