Final Music Magazine Front Cover

Final Music Magazine Double Page Spread

Final Music Magazine Contents Page

This is the first draft of my pop music magazine front cover. My initial plan was to create a cover that represented my chosen genre. I think my photo worked well with this idea, because in the photo the model is smiling. She is also giving the audience eye contact which hopefully makes the readers happy when looking at it, I also dressed her up in a floral top and a skirt, which is generally known as a quite a girly outfit. A prop was also used in this photo to symbolise that pop can be quite feminine and the umbrella also links into the dull surroundings and water features. I chose to use a purple font because I wanted to use a colour scheme that matched the clothes, representing the femininity of the pop culture. I also used black and white outlines for the headlines of the magazine so that it becomes eye catching to the desired audience. I also added a purple band to the bottom of my cover, once again matching my colour scheme to show the readers who else will be featured in the magazine.

After completing my first draft, I can see that there is plenty to improve. For starters I also want to add a barcode to make it seem more believable as a real magazine. I also want to use a bolder outline on the main article to make it seem more important and stand out from the dull background. When improving my cover, I want to think about adding more articles or maybe show contests and free posters that will be inside.

Kerrang Double Page Spread

This double page spread is featured in the music magazine ‘Kerrang’. The genre of this magazine is rock. You can tell that the genre is rock, because the main picture which is seen is the centre of the double page spread, shows a man covered in tattoos who seems to be screaming down the microphone, which makes us think more of rock type of music. That main picture is about ¾ of the entire page, which tells you that it is the main picture and also makes us believe that after looking at the little pictures surrounding the main one, that the man in the picture is the main artist and the groups in the other pictures are his band, but it also shows a picture of each of them individually which shows that they are all still an important part of the band.

The two page spread, seems very messy and rugged, it seems this because the main picture looks a little torn and ripped and all the surrounding pictures are overlapped and slanted, instead of straight and neat. This is very effective, because it gives us an idea of the genre and a feeling of rock.

In this double page spread, they only have a small space for text, but have used a small font, so they could still fit in a lot of information. Even though it is a small font, they have used a dark font, which is in front of a white background, so it is still easy to read. Compared to other double page spreads, this one has no colour and is just black and white.
