3. My masthead is
called TEMPO, it is
large and bold, this is
so the audience can
see it nice and clear.
They are many cover
line stories on my
front cover, there are
big famous names on
there, for example,
Simon Cowell has on
of the biggest record
labels available at
this moment in time,
and Pharrel Williams
has just released one
of the best selling
songs, therefore, he
has a big name.
I have used the same
colour, for her lips, her
name, and her story
line, this is because the
audience can then see
that the story line is
about her because it is
all the same colour, if it
was all different it may
confuse the audience,
it will also look too
much with many
different colours.
The Banner at the bottom is black, white, and red, this is so the colour
scheme is the same through out the magazine, and so there is not many
colours on the front page. I have added the Celebrities names on there
because they are who the audience would want to read about, I know this
because as the genre of the magazine is chart music, the names on the
magazine, are all chart music singers.
The barcode is only
very small so its no
taking much space up,
and it has also got the
price of the magazine,
the issue, and the
magazine web address.
I have put ’20 must’ in
bold and red so It attracts
the readers attention. And
also to promote the songs
them self's, like I’m telling
them that the SHOULD
have the songs.
As Kim Kardashian is one of
the most famous girls of all
times, and she had had a
baby to one of the biggest
rap starts going, everyone
wants to see what there
baby looks like, so this will
want the audience buy the
magazine, I have, again
used the word ‘unseen’
bold in red so this will grab
the viewers attention, I
have used the word unseen
and only tempo can reveal,
so that the audience think
they cant see them
anywhere else.

5. I have used the same
Masthead again, to
show which magazine
it is.
I have used the same colour
scheme through out the
contents page, also I didn’t
use much grey on the front
cover, it sill works with the
contents page.
I have write contents
page large down the side
so it is clear what it is,
that its not just a page on
the magazine. I have
used the same font to
write ‘Contents’ and
‘Features’ this is so there
is not many different
fonts on the magazine.
When I was designing my
contents page, I thought it
would be a good idea to put
the page numbers in a
different colour. This is so
they stand out from the text.
I have also but the subtitles
in full capital letters, this is so
the audience can clearly see
what they will be reading
about.
Underneath, I have come up with a small sentence,
explaining in a little more detail what the article will be
about. I have put that In small text so it doesn’t take too
much room up on the page.
I have put the issue number, the
month, and the web address all in the
same compartment because then
people can get all the information in
one, for example, it could be the
same month but a different issue
number, and people will tend to buy
the most up-to-date version on the
magazine, if the audience is still
unsure on which is the most up-to-
date one, they can visit ‘TEMPO’s
web page, that is why it is important
that they are all together.
I have added numerals pictures of the
same person on the magazine, so the
audience gets the effect that
‘TEMPO’ have followed the person
around to get all the inside gossip,
the pictures that I took are also very
interesting, because in one there are
two boys fully covered in sludge, and
in the other, the two girls are sinking
in the sludge.
Lastly, I have added a page at the back
on the magazine which you can see
what will be in the next issue on the
magazine. This is so if the audience
enjoyed the current issue that they
have just read, they can see what will
be in the next issue, to see if they is
anything they may want to read
about. 5Stevie Rumney
6. Double page.
• Colours chosen and why.
• Font used and why.
• Image used and why.
• Summarisation paragraph.
• Explaining page numbers.

7. I have used the font
Edwardian Script ITC.
This is because the
picture I took of Leah,
is a very elegant
picture, and the font
represents this. I have
used the gold
because it is the same
colour had her dress
so it stands out nicely.
I have also used the
words ‘Leah’s Back’
because in the image
shows, her back is
showing.
In my double page
spread I have used
a questionnaire
because if I was
reading a
magazine, I would
most likely to enjoy
interviews, also In
my public
questionnaire, I
asked people what
they most prefer,
and that was the
most common
answer.
I have changed the writing style as well
when different people are talking, for
example, when Leah is talking I have used
the italic, and when the interviewer was
talking, I used bold. This is so it is more
clear when its different people talking.
I have added a
summarisation
paragraph onto the end
of the interview, in this
paragraph it has a taster
of what may be in the
next issue of the
magazine.
At the bottom of each page, I
have put a page number, the
month issued, and the website,
this is to show what page it is,
and where to look for more
information on this article.
In the middle of the
article I have put a quote
used in the article its
self, this is to show the
audience what they are
talking about if they
don’t want to read it,
and it is also to try and
make the audience want
to read it. I have also
used the same colour
that I did for my title,
this is so it keeps it plain
and simple, but so it still
looks really good.
The image that I have used
is just the back of the artist,
to show the detail of the
dress she id wearing, I have
cut the background out so it
is plain, this is because the
image doesn’t need much
detail because it needs to
look simple for it to work.
