This document contains the student's draft layouts for the front cover, contents page, and double page spread (DPS) of their magazine. For the front cover, the student likes the colors but thinks the masthead could be improved. They also want to add more text on the right side. For the contents page, the student likes the consistency with the cover and themes, but thinks they could add more descriptive text over the photos. For the DPS, the student likes the consistency but may alter the layout and add a catchy title to draw attention. Overall, the drafts are helping the student identify what is and isn't working well in their designs.

1. This is my drawn and coloured layout of what my magazine cover
may look like. I haven’t finalised all the text and colours yet, I may
slightly edit and change certain aspects of it for my final design,
however this is probably going to be similar to my final piece.
What I like about this front cover is the colours of the masthead
and how I’ve depicted certain aspects of colour for the other areas
of the cover. What I think may need to altering and improving is
the masthead, I think it needs to be placed over his head slightly.
Also I think with regards to my actual cover, when I come to
designing it, I need to add more text especially down the right side
just to fill it out a bit more. This drawn layout gives me a rough
insight to what has worked well and what hasn’t work so well.
However, I think this has gave me a good insight to my cover
design.

2. This is my drawn and coloured layout of what my contents page for
my magazine may look like. As you can see, its got a variety of my
own photographs including other artists/singers and a concert I
attended. What I like about this is the consistency following on
from the front cover, consistency of colours, and overall theme.
This will help make the magazine look professional. Obviously
there are still things I could change and alter as this is only a draft.
I think I need to add more text over the photographs maybe a puff
to specific pages which will engage the audience more so. I also
think I could try and get some photos of a band, as opposed to just
individual artists. However I think this contents page looks quite
effective because its tidy, neat and has enough information to
provide what's going on what page.

This is my drawn and coloured layout of what
my DPS for my magazine may look like. What I
like about this is the consistency following on
from the front cover, and contents page with
regards to the consistency of colours, and overall
theme throughout. This will help make the
magazine look professional. Obviously there are
still things I could change and alter as this is only
a draft. I think when it comes to designing my
DPS I am going to alter it around and maybe
have a catchy title brining the audiences attention
to that artist.
