Photos for School Magazine

 

 



Here is the draft for my double page spread. I aim not to use too many images in my spread, but I also want enough images to make it look like there isn't much reading involved in case my audience doesn't fancy reading too much.
I placed the magazine logo in the top left hand corner of the first page and the bottom left of the right. This is to remind the reader of which magazine owns this information and that when they start reading its the first thing they see, and it would be the last thing they will see when they finish.
In the bottom right of the right page I placed a website to where the readers can go and order tickets. It is in orange because it stands out from everything else on the page, meaning its important.
My double page spread will contain information on the new band/ singer and will explain how they came to be and how they got to where they are now.

Contents Draft.

I wanted to make the magazine look as if it were part of Ore, so I used the same colours within the logo in the contents of my draft. The title 'Contents' is in white with dark green borders over a black and white image of a party to reflect the logo.
On the left hand side I placed images of bands mentioned within the magazine with a sort slogan next to it. I placed them on the left hand side as viewers would read from left to right, so these main stories would catch their attention first. I also placed red boxes on the top left hand side of the pictures with a number to show the reader what page they can find the story on.

Front page Draft.

Here is the draft of the front cover of the design of my magazine. I have used images from the Internet to make it, however I will use my own photo's to make the real magazine.
In the top left hand corner it the name of my magazine. I chose green and white as the colours for the logo, mainly because as I looked at other magazines I noticed their logo's are mostly red and white, so I thought I would go with something else. Underneath it I mention the new rock/ soft rock band I come up with in yellow to make it seem more important compared to the other titles seen.
The main image will fill the whole front cover and I will use contrasting colours for the titles of the stories against the colour in the picture. The picture I used is of a male, but I plan to use a female on the front of my real one as girls are not seen very much on the front of rock magazines.
In the top right I have placed information on a rock band called 'Imagine Dragons'. I used the colour yellow around it to make it stand out from the rest in hope to catch the readers eye. I also placed a 'New Ablums' heading in the bottom right in order to make people wonder what new albums are out.

This is my magazine pitch. In it I describe my idea for my magazine and what I plan to put in it, with some background music. Enjoy.

This is a case study of a music magazine that I looked at.
I used Prezi to create my analysis and break down how this magazine was put together and how it will influence my magazine that I will create.
