2. Front Cover Here is the front cover of my magazine:
• Image- the image of the artist takes up 90% of the
cover. The reason why my artist is taking up the
majority of the cover is because she is a new artist,
and when new artists come out onto the music
scene the way they look has a huge impact on their
career.
• Font- the font I have used on my magazine is used
throughout the whole magazine like a them. I have
used three different fonts so that the magazine was
not all one font as this would make the magazine
look boring and unattractive, whereas a variety of
different texts suggests different types of
information being included within the magazine.
• Colours – the colours which have been used are
reds, yellows for texts and blues an greys for the
image, this is because the image colours give an
urban feeling therefore I chose bright text so that
the text would stand out on the magazine cover.
• Straplines and text- the strapline and text
mentioned on the front, where quite short and
noticeable. Such as ‘Prince Kumi, King of the South’
It is short and catchy and will interest readers to
want to know more. Also I have written ‘Exclusively
interviews’ this is eye catching as the word exclusive
will attract the audience.
3. Front Cover Here is the contents page of my magazine:
• Pictures- the pictures on my contents page are a
range between long shots midshots and one which
is slightly closer. I have purposely used a range of
different image shot types and angles to draw
interest and also to have a variety of different
images.
• Layout- the layout I have for the contents page is the
contents of the magazine on the left hand side and
the images on the right side, this is so that the text
and images do not interfere with one another.
• Folios- I have included folios beside the features so
that when people scan through the magazine
contents page they are aware what is on each page
of the magazine and they are able to read the article
which attracts them the most first.
• Captions- the captions I have included are on my
images so that the audience is aware of who each
artist on the contents page is. This makes them feel
more knowledgeable about the content of the
magazine before they read it.
• Focus on a range of artist- my contents page focuses
on a range of different artists as people do not have
one particular favourite artists they have many
favourite artists. It gives lots pf artist the
opportunity to promote themselves.
