Changes!

For my front cover, I have decided to make a few quick changes to make it look more like a professional magazine Here you can see the changes that have been made. I changed the name of the artist to something that sounded more media related and made it shorter. Short names stand out more as there is less syllables in them and people can remember them. I also made the font bigger and took away some of the writing to keep it short and sweet. i moved the text at the top below with the rest of the text because it was over lapping the main image. Finally, i also twisted the "100 albums reviewed" box at an angle to make it look more interesting.

And finally

This is my contents page i create using photoshop. I decided to go with the brown, grey black and white colour scheme as i think this is indie and modern. Below you can see my final version of the contents page for G magazine!

I saw on the front cover of a Q magazine a little box which says 100 albums reviewed and thought this would be a nice touch for my magazine front cover. Below you can see Q magazines version and my own replicated version.

                                                              
                                          

My Logo

I created this logo in Photoshop and was mainly influenced by Q magazine. I think the whole one word logo works really ell and can be easily remembered seeing as theres no words to try and remember. This is my final logo design.

Lesson 4

During this lesson i started my double page spread and finished my second draft of my front cover. This didn't take me too long seeing as i came in during the half term for a few hours to get the first draft finished. then i managed to get my second draft finished. Finally, the next stage now would be to start my contents page and get a few drafts posted on my blog to see which one works best.

Double page spread

The next thing i had to create was a double page spread for my music magazine. Below you can see my first draft with no images. However I have blue boxes to show where I could place my images.

This is my second draft but I think personally I may have to change all of the font to white and not half black half white. This is going to be my final front cover as I like this design rather than plain white.
