This document provides examples of magazine layouts and plans for designing a magazine mood board. It discusses including images of the band on the first page and the lead singer on the second page to connect visually with interview text. Font and color scheme ideas are presented, noting bold chunky headings with a clear simple text font. Colors of red, white and black are considered to match example magazines and stand out brightly. Flat plans sketch the first two pages' elements.

2. Images Of Magazine Layouts These are some examples of magazine layouts from the magazine ‘Q’ and
‘NME’. They are both music magazines that fit the genre of music for my
chosen band. I need to look at how they have used the imagery, fonts and
colours in these magazines and think about how I can incorporate that in my
designs. They all have very similar styles and I think this is what I need to look
at because I need mine to fit in with the style of magazine to work well.

3. Sample Images
On the first page of my layout I will be using an image of all the band members. This will give the readers a
visual look of the band if they don’t know who they are already. I then want to use an image of the main
singer Alex Turner on the second page. This is because when I did my interview with the fan, her favorite
band member was him so I felt this would connect the image with the text and give the audience a visual
look of the singer.

4. Text Fonts
Heading Fonts
I will need a really bold and chunky font for the headline and for the text it will be quite a clear and simple font.

5. Colour Scheme
Both NME and Q have very similar colour schemes and they
focus on reds, whites and black. The red and white is bright and
clean and the black stands out against the white and the red so I
think all of these colours work really well together. I feel that
these kinds of colours will work for my magazine and to focus
on bright colours that are going to stand out.
