Front cover final

I changed my front cover by discarding the text boxes, this help the back ground stand out, i also changed the colour scheme, i change this because NME a similar magazine had a lot of colours going on , this made the magazine look more informal and free flowing.

The contents basically shows the reader what is the magazine , compared with my draft i spaced out the images and the text so it is more visible. I also added more pictures so some articles will stick out on the page.

My double page spread is a question and answer article, it is based on an up and coming artist and his current success on his latest album.On the first page of the article i used an image to represent the character in the article, the image takes up the whole page. However i created  a small fact file on the character.

Image manipulation


The photographs i used in my magazine are very simply manipulated, for this picture i basically cropped the image to make the overall image smaller, this allowed me to get the image shot i wanted. This image i used was in my double page contents, i cropped it so you could see the expressions on the models face.

preliminary task final

For the preliminary task i choose to add several colours of text, i thought that the target audience would have liked the text because it is not boring, it create a sense of excitement to the sixth form magazine.

More images





I decided to take more photos, to add more variety to my magazine, it would allow me to appeal to more audiences and it will make it look more authentic. Some of the photos i previously posted i did not use because i felt that they did not fit with the type of magazine that i am trying to make.
