Font's.

When coming to this choose of picking different font's , it was a hard thing to choose as the fonts that i chose had to be correct of my magazine. They also had to be the same kind of fonts that feature in other urban music magazines. I went through different processes to chose the fonts for my magazine.I feel the fonts that i  have chosen suitable ones for my magazine and for the genre that i have chosen.

This is the font that i have chosen to use for my front cover. It is a bold font and stands out if someone was to be looking on a shelf of magazines i feel this would be one of the magazines that would stand out.

Contents page analysis

This is my contents page on it there is a title which says contents page. There is also 3 other sub-titles which break the contents of the magazine down into 3 different categories. There is also a picture of the artist that features in the double page spread of the magazine. When I first did the contents page my aim was to keep it nice and simple and stick to the black and red and while colour scheme that I wanted to go for .

Front page analyis

This is a screen shot of my front cover . On it is a header which has the title of my magazine in it . It also has cover line's on it which are about thing's that are going to feature inside the magazine. It has the price of the magazine in the right had top corner . The bar code is in the bottom left hand corner . The title of the magazine is in the top corner on the left hand side because this would be the corner grabber. The part that people will see when the magazine is on the shelf , so if they see the title and the tag line that goes with the slogan it may draw them in to buying the magazine more. At first i thought that this image would be great for the front cover as it may not be the typical person that you would think would buy this kind of music magazine but it would draw other people that don't buy this magazine all the time to buy it . Then i realised that it would of been much better if i had of used a different picture as the picture that is on the front cover at the moment does not tell people that it is a music magazine . So if people was just too look at the picture and not the title and tag line , this could be a magazine about anything.

clipping paths

To make this clipping path i made the clipping path in photoshop using the tool that looks like a pen. Then once you have made the clipping path save it as a PSD. Then you have to place the image in in design . Then go to object -clipping path - options . This allows you to import the clipping path from photoshop to in design. Then you need to draw a text box . Change text wrap-wrap around bounding box. You can then change the distance between the text and the image.

All images taken for music magazine.

These are just a range of some of the different pictures i have decided to use inside my music magazine.

Contents page final.

This is my finished contents page i decided to add my logo too it and also added 2 pictures that relate to topics on the contents page. The finished version of my contents page is much better to how i first had designed it , there is much less empty space and things relate to each other to make it stand out better.

Overview of what will be included.

In my college magazine there will be different activity that students can get involved in an overview of the new college building and chances for students to win certain things.

Cover Final.

This is my front page i decided to change the picture on the front of it so that the person on the front related more to the genre of music. I feel now that i have changed it the picture it will attract more people to buy the magazine.

Fonts and Logo.

The fonts that i have chosen to use are simple and are stereotypical to the genre of music that i have chosen to target. The fonts are simple but make a good effect on the magazine.The logo of my magazine is simple and also reflects the colour scheme of my magazine. I have also used a slogan at the bottom of my logo the reason i have done this is so that when people look at the logo they also look at the slogan and it gets them thinking about the magazine and the different things inside the magazine.

Background colour on double page spread.

I decided that i wanted a background colour on my double page spread just so that there wasn't too much white space on it and so there was something else to draw the readers in. First of all i went with a teal colour but then after thinking about it i saw that it doesn't fit in with the colour scheme of my double page spread and the code of conventions of the urban music background. I then decided to change it to a red background so that it fitted in with the rest of my magazine and when i did i decided it looked much better.

Contents page

I have changed my contents page to how i first wanted to have it . When i first started to design my contents page was simple like this one. When i carried on designing it i thought that i should change it because although i wanted my magazine to stay simple being this simple would not be good and it wouldn't be the best that i could do or achieve. So i put some thought into it and thought about what other magazine contents pages looked like and how i really wanted mine too look . My contents page now looks like this. I feel that my magazine cover looks a lot better now and would also appeal to a wider range of people with it looking like this .
