Magazine Presentation

1. Magazine front cover:
This is the front cover of my
magazine.
The target audience of my
magazine is men and women from
the specific age group of 20-34 year
olds
The genre of my magazine is
pop/rock. Hence why I
choose the colours red,
grey, white and black as my
house style.
I have choose to set my
magazine out in this format to
replicate the style of Q
magazine
I have decided to include a
close up shot of my model for
the main front cover image as
looking at different magazine
covers I see this to be a key
success in the magazine.
I have decided to have
an older target audience
as I believe this age
group will be more
interested in the music
genre of pop/rock rather
than young people.

2. Looking at the different magazine front covers below, which image do you feel best suits the layout of the front cover? And
why?

3. Contents page :
I have included the house style of red, white and grey to show the reader that this is a product I have created
I have also
included the
masthead at
the top of
the page to
follow the
key
conventions
of music
magazines
I have included the website address at the bottom of
my magazine as this is seen as key codes and
conventions
The social media tab at the bottom of the page is important
as social media is becoming increasingly popular, with the
vast majority of people having access to internet.

4. Double page spread:
After looking at Q magazine I found their double page spreads to be very effective as the majority of their
spreads include a large letter in the background of their text. I decided to use this idea and placed an ‘A’ in
the background as the name for my artist is Alexandra Flume.
I have
chosen to
have a black
and white
image as the
main picture
for my
double page
spread to
follow the
style of Q
magazine.
I have also included the magazine’s website, issue date and masthead to show readers that this a project I
have made.

5. Second double page spread:
I have included a picture of my model from a photo shoot on location to create a diverse between my work
as the majority of my photos displayed in my magazine have been taken inside in one of the Media rooms
against a white background.
I have also included a small image at the bottom of the page to divide the text up of my article. Initially I wanted the text to be wrapped around the
image, however when I tried to do this it wouldn’t work meaning I will need to improve this.
