Music Magazine DPS Draft 2

This is my second draft of my music magazine double page spread. I have added three pictures as well as a title stating the featured artist. The finished product should feature more pictures as well as a pull quote. I've decided I am going to add a pull quote as many other magazines use pull quotes from the text such as NME and Kerrang! (The two magazines featured in my case study)

Music Magazine DPS Draft 1

This is the first draft for the double page spread of my music magazine and so far I have added the actual text for the article that I wrote and also some text in the top right corner which lets the reader know that the story is exclusive to fusion magazine. In the next draft, I plan to add some pictures and a title.

Music Magazine Contents Draft 2

This is the second draft for my music magazine contents page and I have added a subscription box, which I think is necessary as most magazines feature a subscription box on their contents page. I have also added the words "This Week" to the top of the page. This lets the reader know that it is the contents page and it also shows that it is a weekly magazine. I have also added the date and  some text which briefly explains what is featured in the main story of my magazine.

Music Magazine Contents Draft 1

This is the first draft of music magazine contents page. So far I have only placed the magazine's name/masthead on top of the page and I have also positioned the regulars/features on the right side of the page. I plan on adding some text next to the magazine's name at the top of the page which lets the reader know that this is the contents page. I will also add some text on my main cover story and possibly some pictures and a subscription box to the next draft.

Music Magazine Front Cover Draft 3

 

Music Magazine Front Cover Draft 3

 

 

 

 

In this draft I have added a red box at the bottom of the magazine front cover containing info on one of the magazines free giveaways. This was placed on the left-side of the magazine as it is the part of the magazine that is seen when displayed on a newsstand. As well as that, the giveaway is shown in a red box, making it easier to see and eye catching as it stands out against the black background. In this draft I have also added some shadow effects to the title and boxes on the front cover. This give them a 3D effect which further adds to the idea of them standing out. Although most magazines have plain fonts and designs on their front covers, I think that these effect are appropriate for a rock magazine as rock magazines are known to have more extravagant designs.
