3. • My genre for my chosen magazine will be based on the Rock and Hip-hop music culture. My two chosen
magazines of inspiration are ‘Billboard’ and ‘Kerrang’. I will base my magazines I create on these. However, I
also decided to have a similar inspiration of the magazine ‘Respect’ as I thought that the colour scheme of the
black and white make my magazine front cover stand out to the public as well as relate more to my target
audience of the male gender, as my second magazine is of the ‘Rock’ genre
• My genre will be based on the rock and hip-hop of the music culture. My chosen magazines will be ‘Billboard’
and ‘Kerrang’, in which I will have a good combination of bright and vibrant colors, that will be attractive towards
my target audience between the ages of 15 to 22. I want to relate my style to both of the magazine, however I
will alter the content and make it my own. My magazine will have the a stand A4 page size roughly with
dimensions of 8x11, this will then allow me to give a decent amount of context which will make the reader want
to read on, instead of becoming bored on the first page, due to the presentation of too much information. My
music magazine will be aimed towards the sound generation, mainly teenagers, with the combination of verbal
and nonverbal coding of two models along with the use of different camera techniques and the usefulness of
editing in Photoshop and Bridge. Similar to my Unit 1 course, I want to involve a relevant amount of detail, for
example, Mastheads, Pull quotes etc. I m aiming for my magazine covers to be similar to my chosen magazine,
however present its own uniqueness and creativeness. By customizing my magazine, will present a likelihood
of the music genre, as this will allow me to achieve what I want to get out of my magazine.

7. Final Chosen Magazines and Why?
• Overall, I have decided to create the magazines; ‘TeensRule’ and ‘RockStars’ because, with the suitable age
range that is applicable to teenages 16+, I will be able to create content which can be relatable and suitable for
the general public.
• Along with the colour scheme, I will have the advantage of selecting complementary colours that will enhance
the key features of the magazine, for instance; the Masthead, Strapline and Pull Quote. With these two
magazines, I will be able to achieve and represent the indication that the magazines ‘TeensRule’ and
‘RockStars’ appeal to the older age range of both genders, more over the young age range, as I would struggle
with the appropriate content and what works best ages 9 to 12.
• I have also found different types of magazines that appeal to the teenage age range, and with the usefulness of
space to allow more or less context I have come to the conclusion that my two final magazines that I have
chosen would be eye-catching towards my target audience due to the inspiration that I have gained from other
magazines; for example, KERRANG, VIBE, Billboard and RESPECT (by which these magazines I will use as
magazines of inspiration’
• Finally, the process of create my magazine front cover and double page spread would be easy however must
stand out and relate to my magazine(s) of inspiration, and therefore with ‘TeensRule’ and ‘RockStars’ I will be
able to achieve that.
8. Be True To Your School Gunplay Absender
The Blacklist Gunplay Linowrite
By using the website ‘Dafont’, I have been able to choose a variety of different designs. I want my chosen font to
stand out from the magazine and anchor the public to it, although the font above are quite basic, this would allow
the magazine to have a good contrast to the additional information around it, such as; the main image, masthead
and cover lines. With help of choosing my own magazine title, I have been able to decide on the right fonts that
would compliment the magazine in its own unique style and content, from my two inspiration magazines; ‘Billboard’,
‘Respect’ ‘Kerrang’, the layout and style of the final outcome of the magazine would want to be attractive, with bright
and bold colors and a decent amount of information on the front cover. Finally I want my final chosen font to
enhance the quality of the magazine.
Font Style
9. In conclusion, after researching through the different font styles and deciding on what my title should
be for my magazine, I have come to a final decision of choosing the name; ‘TeensRule’ with the font
style of; ‘Gunplay’
I have chosen this as my final design to go onto my front cover, as such of the of its simplicity,
however would anchor consumer of the teen age to review my magazine, I wanted to go for a bold
and eye-catching font, that would contrast well with my main image, along with its contents, therefore
make my magazine unique and stand out to the public.
With the font ‘Gunplay’ with the extra detail of the lines, would relate my magazine more towards the
male gender however, the main image, strapline and cover lines would refer to both the male and
female genders. As such of a young target audience, this would allow me to understand and aim my
content towards them, in comparison to the older generation of over 24, my magazine would not relate
to them as much because of the content which is aimed towards teenagers.
Font Style Conclusion - First Magazine
Name of Magazine Font Name
10. Font Style Conclusion - Second Magazine
For my second magazine, I chose the font of ‘The Blacklist‘. I decided on this font because, this
would enhance the quality of my second magazine, which was inspired by ‘Kerrang’ and ‘Respect’
music magazine, as with the use of bright colours on the masthead, headline and bold lettering to
enhance the quality of the contents on the front cover.
Also with the font style of ‘The Blacklist’ has helped me to understand anchor the public to my
magazine; with the use of a single coloured title that would contrast well with the magazine
masthead, cover lines and possibly the anchorage text.
Finally, by creating a short yet eye-catching masthead, this would attract consumers of the younger
age; relatively my target audience, the public would be interested by the contents not just the
masthead; therefore what would be on layout on the front cover, eg. anchorage text.

14. Mood Board Conclusion
By creating a mood board containing the inspiration of my chosen magazines of; ‘Kerrang’, ‘Respect’
and ‘Billboard’, this would inspire with how the magazine is presented to the public, with bold colors
and vivid content, I would like to conclude that by creating a magazine mood board, will help me
understand how to present a magazine that would attract the public to the content.
Magazine covers present their information along with a main image, the magazine also presents the
information such as, through the double page spread that its context is beyond approach as the
information differs with each different issue
The magazine ’Billboard’ uses a complex view of bright and bold colors which contrast well with each
other along, with a main image that would complement the information content on the front cover, for
example; the cover lines, masthead and strapline.
Finally, in contrast to to the magazine ‘Respect’ and ‘Kerrang’ the use of mainly men as their front
image, relates to the male gender, along with the use of black, white and grey, to make the masthead
stand out, as such of the read and white brand name, as such of the bold and bright colors to attract
the public to view their magazine.
19. Hand Drawn Layout Front Cover Conclusion
In conclusion, I choose this front cover design for my
magazine, as such of the decent amount of
information present, that would result in drawing in
more viewers to read my content.
With the use of the masthead being placed vertically
on the page, will make my magazine unique, this is
because of during my research on my first magazine
inspiration of ‘Billboard’ magazine, this would result in
a relation to my magazine.
However, by adding a ‘pull quote’ towards the center
of the page, this would draw consumers to my
magazine, as such of the brief and eye-catching
quote that would anchor in consumers.
20. Hand Drawn Layout Front Cover Conclusion
For my second magazine I chose this because
of the exceptional amount of of content such as;
puff promotion, anchorage text and cover lines.
This would anchor the reader because the main
image would contrast well with the magazine,
although most of the colours would be simple
they would enhance the masthead and the
main image as this would anchor the reader,
due to the bright colourisation of the main
image, text and the masthead, that would
interest the reader to buy my magazine.
21. Hand Drawn Layout DPS Cover Conclusion
By creating a hand drawn draft, this will allow me to organise my content in a way that would be anchoring
to the public. The example above will be the layout which I will include in my first magazine, which was
inspired by my first magazine ‘Billboard’, by including a variety of text and images, with would intrigue the
reader, as this can depend on the headline. However, with the use of a Pull quote, this would anchor the
reader to the double page spread.
22. Hand Drawn Layout DPS Cover Conclusion
For my second magazine, I have chosen this hand drawn, because, different from my first magazine, the
layout does not contain as much informational features. By narrowing down the contents of the magazine,
this would allow me to brief my target audience with more interesting information that would relate to the
main image and headline.
27. Graphic Layout Front Cover Conclusion - First
magazine
For my final ‘Print Based Media Product’ I have
come to the conclusion that the image
presented will be my final front cover page on
my magazine. This is because, the graphic
layout of the front cover, is that the presentation
of key features that would normally be found on
all magazines, is well presented and organised.
My main image may contain one or two people,
with the clothing that would contrast well with
the masthead along with the features on the
front cover.

28. Graphic Layout DPS Conclusion - First magazine
As a part of my final magazine front cover, I have also decided on my final magazine DPS with a planned
layout onto where my content is spaced out so that the public or the reader will not be overwhelmed of too
much information is presented.
The text would be interesting, with an interesting headline and pull quote. Along with the use of four main
images that will anchor the reader to review the content.

29. Graphic Layout Front Cover Conclusion - Second
Magazine
For my second magazine I have chosen this as
my front cover, due to the simple but enhanced
layout and design of the magazine.
With the use of bright but simple colours would
amplify the masthead and the cover lines, due
to the bold text.
Also the main headline would anchor consumers
because, it would relate to information based on
the magazine and the music industry.
Finally, the barcode would provide a little
information on the price and the issue date.

30. Graphic Layout DPS Conclusion - Second
Magazine
With my double page spread, this layout would suit my magazine well, because the layout is simple and
would be eye-catching to the public/view, with the use of the bright and bold anchorage text and
headline, this would draw in the public, as the text and the headline would enhance and compliment the
main image.

31. Conclusion
Within this powerpoint is the research on the planning and the production of my two magazines. By
explaining my magazine as in my ‘Summary of Ideas’ this has allowed me to plan on; who my
magazine will be for the content and the layout or the magazine. Also, by planning what my
magazine would look like with the use of creating hand-drawn and graphic layouts, this would help
my magazine become more interesting and eye-catching to the public. Along with the use of colour,
my two magazines would be unique and interest to the public’s and therefore giving them the chance
to view my magazine. By explain my magazine plan throughout my presentation, along with the use
of creating two inspired magazine mood boards, this has helped my develop an understanding of
what the magazine should relate to and the organised structure of the front cover and DPS, this
would result in a eye-catching layout and the use of bright colours would anchor the reader or buy my
magazine. In addition, with the explanations of concluding my hand-drawn graphs and graphic layout
drafts, this would have allowed me to create, and plan what my print based media product would be
organised, and how this would relate to; my summary of ideas, magazine mood and drafts of my two
final print based products.
Finally, by concluding my presentations narrows down the informational content of the magazine and
how this would be beneficial as to why I have created this presentation, and the process of planning
and pitching a print based media product.
