Incomplete first draft of music magazine

Work in progress - Contents page

I have decided to do two contents pages, The A side and B side inspired by XXL magazine. I have completed my first side and named it the Alpha side: the other side is going to be called the Beta side. This is because even though my magazine is inspired by XXL magazine, I didn't want it to be a complete copy of it and wanted to have my own originality to it.

Work in progress - Double page spread.

Today i got started on the writing aspects of my double page spread and decided what questions and answers i will have on it.

Work in progress - Double page spread

Today I started working on my double page spread using Indesign. I experimented with how i was going to place the picture and how the text would work on the page. I also begun to experiment with a colour scheme but my decisions are not final yet.

Photos from Photography session

work in progress - Front cover

Today I worked some more on my front cover and settled down for which picture I wanted to use. I added cover lines and a pull quote and experimented with which colour I would add to make it more interesting to look at rather than having just all white.

Work in progress - Front cover

Today i used the pictures from my photography shoot and played around with the pictures to find out how i would use it to lay out my cover lines and masthead. I have begun experimenting with how my masthead will be placed on the front cover and what colour it will be.

I booked in to use the photography studio for my music magazine shoot

I edited my contents page plan and decided to change the layout because i feel that it works better and looks more professional in this layout.

Work in progress - Contents page

I used Indesign to make a rough plan of what my contents page might look like, however i'm not done because i still have to sort out where the pictures and text will go on the page.

"Work in progress" - Front cover plan

Today I was using photoshop to create a plan on what my front cover will look like. I experimented with what colour scheme I wanted - I was going to add in blue but I think it looks better with just the red and black. I also used that picture of rihanna to inspire me for when I do my photoshoot, I will have my image in black and white with my model placed in front of a white backdrop. My image will be a close up and more to the left side of the page so that my cover lines can go on the right side.

Timeira Lynck media pitch

I did my media pitch on my music magazine and got various feedback from it. One piece of feedback I received was that I should not make my masthead be the shape of the london eye and big ben because it would appeal to a more older audience rather than young who was not my target audience. Therefore i'm just going to keep my masthead plain and simple.
