2. Produce the front page, contents and double page
spread of a new music magazine. The syllabus states
quite clearly that ‘all images and text used must be
original, produced by the candidate, minimum of
four images per candidate) any manipulation of
existing images cannot count as an original image’.
3. I like these six front
covers because they are
bold and draw me in to
wanting to read them.
The females on the
magazine represent the
fact that music is not
just for male and that
music can be
glamorous.
The type of music these
magazines show are
chart and RnB style
music, which I will base
my magazine .
The use of bold colours
attract both female and
male readers due to the
artist on the front.
I like the close up image
of Florence and Cheryl
as it creates a sense of
intrigued.
4. I like these three content pages because they are laid out on into sections on the page. The contents pages are multi-modal
because of the different modes of information. E.g. pictures and texts. The way that all three contents pages synthesis the main
areas of the contents page creates the contents page to be more organised.
The one on the far left is a simplistic design with a minimalist colour scheme. The image that catches the attraction of the
audience is a young attractive female. This insinuates that the target audience is teenagers.
The middle design caught my eye due to the appealing main image. The content text is located to the left hand third of the
magazine. The main image relates to the “Oasis” section on the right hand side of the page. The header at the top of the page
stands out against the rest of the page.
The third design stands out most of all from the other magazine contents pages due to its larger, more imposing heading at the
top. Similarly to the other two, each point is synthesised into order of relevance to a general audience, prioritising segments most
likely to be favoured and are listed higher. M0reover, to the right of the page, subheadings such as ‘NEWS’ and ‘RADAR’ are placed
on a contrasting background, further emphasising their position and status on the page.
5. I like this double page spread as the image dominates I like this double page spread also for the image that

columns at the bottom of the page so that it is easier to
read and understand. The copy is in three columns and there is more word
in each column.
The white background makes Lily Allen stand out
against the rest of the spread. The use of the caption at the top saying “Florence”
shows that the page is about Florence and that it is
easy to locate in the magazine.
