This document summarizes the cover page, contents page, and double page spread for a magazine called "Quaint". The cover page features a close-up shot of a model as the main image with a black and white theme along with colored dots. The contents page follows the same theme and uses Polaroid-style images along with page numbers and sections. The double page spread features a close-up shot of an artist named Rosie McCarthy with her name and a quote. On the right side is her interview in black boxes. Flowers from her hair are duplicated across the spread and colored dots are added. Both the contents and double pages compliment the chosen "Indie-Pop" genre through their vintage, black

1. Drawn Analysis
Cover Page, Contents Page &
Double Page Spread.

2. Cover Page
• I chose the name Quaint for my magazine
because it means;
“attractively unusual or old-fashioned”
• This relates to the theme of my magazine as all the images are old
fashioned, timeless and classic, yet attractive and unusual so it catches
peoples attention.
• Hence the reason I went for a black and white theme and it is quite vintage
and at the same time the addition of green, blue, orange, red and yellow
dots, which will be spread out over the page and I will lower the opacity of
them and put a glow around them, so the colours aren’t too sharp and
bright. I will also put a few cover line sub titles and plug information in the
same colours as the faint dots, so the entire magazine coincides. The
contrasting colours adds a burst of energy so it doesn't just simply follow the
typical connotations of a newspaper.
• I chose to use a close up shot so the models face for my main image, so
she is the complete focus of the front cover and the information etc is all
secondary.
• I chose to make my magazine genre; Indie Pop. This is because the vintage
style of it due to the black and white yet distressed photo’s, but, I added the
element of pop (diversity) also as my style and musical icon is Lana Del Rey
and she dabbles with both Indie and Pop music.

4. Contents Page
• For my contents page I followed and kept the same theme as my cover page as I wish this
to run through my entire magazine.
• My background is still charcoal colour on the left hand side of the Polaroid's, and the
background is white on the right hand side of the Polaroid's. However, if I don’t go ahead
with this certain layout I will still use the Polaroid's on my contents page but in the top right
hand corner to advertise Rosie McCarthy’s article. My background will be a grey colour
and the masthead will be a off white colour. On my contents page I will also have pictures
of bands I took myself and a page number to advertise what page they’d be on, and then
page numbers for other bands, artists and information in the magazine in either white or
black text. The band list will follow the same colour scheme and so will the editors note
section. Furthermore, I will have a subscribe section and a BRITS 2015 section on the
page as well, adding yet more colourful elements to the page. A theme I will keep running
through my whole magazine will be the colorful dots on every page.
• I chose to present the images on my contents page through a series of Polaroid like
images and then information will be placed around them showing what will be in the
particular issue of the magazine and also showing what is featured in the magazine
(particular bands/BRIT award winners and nominees etc).
• The features of the contents page will compliment my chosen genre because the Polaroid
picture frames I will be using to show off miniature taster images I have taken of my model
before the double page spread. The frames will be mirroring the instant photos Polaroid's
usually produce, ones that can't be manipulated. The old fashioned way. These images
will also represent my model in an authentic, classic way, as these types of films and
frames are occasionally used In the fashion industry, by modelling agencies who use them
to realistically and naturally represent the models.
• These representations are all vintage in style and the old fashioned element of the
Polaroid cameras images reinforce the fact that my magazine is striving to have that
harmoniously, vintage melodic theme running through it, complimenting the genre.

6. Double Page Spread
• On my double page spread I put the close up shot of Rosie
McCarthy with her name and a quote she said just above the picture
of her in a white colour, on a black shadowed background to make
the words stand out more. On the right hand side I put the interview
from the artist in the 6 black boxes with the introduction to the
interview (about Rosie) just above, and the name of who interviewed
her just underneath. I duplicated the flowers that were in Rosie’s
hair on Photoshop and spread them out across the whole double
page spread for effect. Again, following on from the cover and
contents pages, I put multi coloured dots over the page, to add that
slash of colour to the pages.
• The elements on my double page spread compliment my chosen
genre of Indie-pop because again the flowery and mainly black and
white theme, specially due to the way I intend to edit it will have a
vintage look to it, like a grainy, ‘flickery’ old film would have.
• The use of ‘old photo’ type edits and the distressed black and white
colours add an element of shabbiness to the quite prim classic
magazine. This contrast is what gives the magazine both the ‘Indie’-
(independent) and ‘pop’- (eclectic) elements to it.
