Draft Contents Page

This is the draft i have created for my contents page.

Good points:

• the colour scheme is the same as the front cover
• I have included several pictures
• I put an editors note in

Bad points:

• The writing might be a bit to large and not enough of it
• there is some negative space but the smaller images

Otherewise i am fairly pleased with my contents page, but will probably make a few change before completeing my fianl contants page.

Draft Front Page

This is my draft for my front cover.

The good points:

• The image fits well
• The red font draw the audiences attention
• I like the font

The bad points:

• i was unable to edit out the white in the middle of the title.
• and in the name 'Ginge'
• its hard to see the writing in the bottom left hand corner

Otherwise im happy with my draft.

Weekly Review

This week i have been on half term, so i used my time mainly to edit my images, as i have the facility to do so at home. I have tried out many techniques and different ideas. I liked using the black and white effect, but once i put the images against the masthead and cover lines it blended in to much and didn't stand out very well. Another process i used in something call clarfi on paint shop. It makes the image more clearer and chrisper. After editing many images i am still undicided as to which one to use for each part of my magazine.

Weekly Review

This week i have mainly focused on doing draft layouts for all sections of my magazine. I looked at several magazines to give me ideas for whatkind of layout i will use. On most of my layouts i have made the main image the main focal point. I think this will show the audeience viewing my magazine , what to expec at a quice glance. for example my magazine will be mainly about bands and indie music, so someone viewing my magzine on a news stand will get a good idea of what to expect and if the magazine is for that person. These are only drafts and could potentually change. I will include more writing and coverlines on the actual magazine than shown on the drafts, becuase they are just layout ideas. The next thing i went on to do was a draft of my magazine. I tested out a few images and fonts which would be suitable, so now i should be able to get a good idea of the kind of fonts to use.

Draft layouts of double page

These are the double page page layouts i have created. I like both of them, but will probable use the second one, due to the large image and small content of writing.

Draft layouts of contents page

These are the two layout ideas for my contents page. I'm not to sure which one i prefer yet, but i will probably use the one with the big image, this is because i think it will be more appealing to the eye. I will include the date and title of the magazine on the contents page, to remind the read.

Draft layouts of front cover

These are the two draft layouts i have come up with. the first one is really simple, which i like. I think it will focus on the picture rather than whats in the magazine. I got this idea from the 'Q' magazine analysis i have done.

The second layout is a bit more complicated and focuses on the contants and the coverlines rather than the image. I will use the same image what ever layout i chose, and this image will be of a band.

Weekly review

This week i finsished up my photoshoot. i have posted some image which i may use. I have edited a few, but they still need a bit of tweaking before i can post them. I have made most of the images brighter due ot the dull weather. I have also just started the teratment of my magazine. Onc this is finished i will produce some draft layouts of my magazine. All in all i think this week have been very productive.

Photo shoot turn out

I have just finished my photo shoot and have a range of image that i can use. I have quite a few individual ones which i will probably use on the front cover and contents page. I also have some band ones which will be my double page spread.
