4. Rough Sketches Front Cover
Masthead includes the logo and title
of the magazine, this allows the
reader to easily see what magazine it
is and makes the logo become more
memorable.
Anchorage text shows the
reader what the main article
will be about and makes them
want to read the whole
magazine.
Cover lines show the reader what
other articles are included in the
magazine, this is another way to
entice the reader to buy the
magazine and read the whole of it.
A puff promotion makes the
reader want to buy the
magazine to be in for a chance
of winning the promotion.
The barcode allows sales of the
magazine to be made and also
informs the reader of the issue
number, date of issue, and social
media account.
The main image shows the
reader who the main article
will be about. This also uses
star appeal to attract more
readers to read the magazine.

5. Rough Sketches DPS
The stand first is the headline that
summarises the main article and is
sometimes similar to the anchorage
text on the front cover.
The pull quote is another way of
summarising and enticing the reader
to the article. This is usually a name
drop of another celebrity and utilises
star appeal here as well.
The main image shows the reader
who the article is about so that they
can make up their mind about reading
the article without having to read the
stand first or pull quote.
The drop capital highlights to the
reader where to begin reading the
main text.

6. Masthead Ideas
'Musique' is the name of this magazine. The inspiration behind this
name is similar to Q magazine, instead the Musique stands for music as
that is the main focus of the magazine. The masthead of the magazine
will include the name, the logo and the strapline of the magazine and
will keep to the colour scheme and target audience.

7. House Style
This will be similar to Billboard, keeping the masthead and cover lines
black and white and including colours in the background to highlight
the image further.
The black and white shows the simplicity and sophistication levels of
the magazine. This is because black and white together connote a
sense of pure strength. This will relate to the power ‘Musique’ will have
in the music magazine industry.
The other colours will be bright to show and highlight the importance
of each feature of the magazine. This could be a colourful image, to
show that this image will be important and relate to the text
surrounding it.

8. Font Styles
I will get the magazine’s fonts from www.dafont.com because the
website allows fonts to be downloaded and used.
The font I will use is ‘Couture Bold’. This is because it looks similar to
my inspiration magazine and is clear to see what the magazine is called.
This allows for easy reading of the name and masthead.

11. Draft Article
Hi Selena, how are you doing?
I’m great thanks, how’s you?
I’m good. I’ve been hearing lots about your brand new 3rd album, can you give me a quick overview of it?
Sure, it’s a bit different to what you would be used to from me, it’s a mixture of pop and rock. I have lot’s of collaborations as well
with Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa and a few more, but also some originals by myself. On the deluxe version of the album, I have acoustic
versions of original songs.
Those are some big names there, what was it like working with them?
It was really good, they’re so down to earth and just the nicest people. Ed and Dua both contributed so much, I even played some of
my other songs of off the album to Ed and he helped to develop them further.
That’s really nice of them both and they both came to the music scene very differently so what drew you to music in the first place?
I’ve always written and sung my whole life, sharing the moments of your life with other people who can relate or who are going
through similar situations of their own, really makes the job worthwhile.
Wow that’s really lovely, what has been your most memorable fan moment?
Oh this has to be when I was walking down the street and a girl, she must have been around 14 or 15, came up to me crying and was
like “thank you so much for your songs, they have helped me get through some really tough times in my life”
That must be an amazing feeling, knowing that you have such an impact on people’s lives.
