Contents Page- first draft

This is the first draft with written content of my Contents Page. I slightly adapted the layout from my previous first intentions due to the amount of information and the size of images I was planing to use therefore re-arranged the design. I have continued with the colour scheme of black, white and red, and also with the same fonts I initially wanted to use to keep the magazine looking simple, professional yet asthetically pleasing to my target audience.

Contents Page- template

This is the template I created for how I want to layout my contents page for my music magazine. I have chosen to continue with the red, white and black colour scheme and font style. However I have also decided to use a few more pictures as my target audience would want something more laid back and aesthetically pleasing when trying to find the article they wish to read.



Contents Page- research analysis of Billboard magazine

I researched some contents pages of current hit music magazines such as Billboard, which enabled me to gather ideas in order to design my own contents page.

Front Cover- first draft design

This is the first design I have created for the front cover of my music magazine, I created a rough design then a template then followed the design to create my first draft. I have used the colour scheme of black, white and red as requested in my questionnaire. I have also kept with a simple and traditional layout where it is easy for the reader to differentiate each feature article of the magazine. I have also used some informal fonts for the cover line titles to keep the look of the magazine fresh and appealing for my target audience of 16-17 year olds.

Font Samples for Music Magazine Title

I sampled some fonts for the title of my music magazine 'AMPLIFY'. I have chosen some quirky fonts which are bold and unusual which would appeal to my target audience as they are quite informal making them want to read the magazine and relate to it.
