This document outlines plans for the front page, contents page, and a double page spread for a music magazine. The front page will feature an image of an exclusive band along with cover lines of other established bands. It will have a full title masthead and banner stating "The essential music guide." The contents page will include pictures of the exclusive band and other images like album covers, keeping text to a minimum. The double page spread will be an exclusive article on the featured band, with one page showing a full shot of the band and the other containing information and an interview in a question and answer format.

1. FINAL PITCH

2. FINAL PITCH
 The end of research has come! The decision for my narrative idea has been
reached! From combining Idea 1 and 3 to create the perfect narrative as both
proved popular through the opinions from the focus group, as well as
incorporating some of the ideas the audience members came up with, I am
able to create the main narrative idea to be used.

3. FRONT PAGE…
On the front page there will be an image of the
exclusive bands that will take up the majority of the
page and be the main thing that draws the reader’s
attention. The members will be cut out along there
outline using Photoshop, (Like Rolling Stones
magazine features Robert Downey Jr, insert right), and
placed onto a clear white background to give the
image dominance over the page. The Masthead will be
a full title rather than a single initial, and will be of
this font (insert below).

4. FRONT PAGE
As for the exclusive band image, it will slightly superimpose over the
masthead. Around the exclusive bands there will be cover lines of well-
established bands that proved popular in questions 6 and 9, such as The
Rolling Stones, Muse and alternative bands of rock’s subgenre. The colour
scheme will be conventionally (Q magazine) white, red and black. Similar to
the narrative visual idea that the focus group audience members, other bands
such as ‘Paramore’ will be featured at the bottom next to a teaser with the
initial ‘N’ of the chosen font, known as ‘N Review’ as it will be treated as the
magazine first launch.
The top of the page will also feature a banner of ‘The essential music guide’.
Other teasers will be features around the page, such as a cover line on a music
genre the target audience (English etc.) will appeal to, such as ’50 Greatest
Brit Tracks’. The band’s name will be located beneath ‘The Novembers’, with
text of ‘Novembers in November’ beneath smaller than ‘The Novembers’.
The barcode will be conventionally placed at the bottom with the price above
the ‘N Review’ banner as not to distract from the over features on the front
page that have more importance.

5. CONTENTS PAGE
Influenced by Q’s contents page that I analysed, the contents page will be kept
pictorial with pictures of the exclusive band and other images, such as other
bands album covers. The page will be clearly named ‘Contents’ in the same font
as the Masthead and text will be in columns and conventionally each article
numbered. Text though will be kept to a minimum with large images, as to make
the contents page interesting.
The contents will feature 4 photos, one of an the exclusive band ‘The
Novembers’ album cover, one of a the Metallica Concert which will have to be
faked by using certain props/mise-en-scene. One image will be of a location
shot two of the members from the exclusive band and one of a made up band.

6. The double page spread will be an exclusive article on
the page, with one page of a dominating full shot of all
band members which will be for mise-en-scene, similar
to the ‘Rolling Stones’ double page spread that was
analysed. The other page will be information and
details on the exclusive band, with the title of the band
‘The Novembers’, clear at the top, with a Question and
Answer interview as the text. The page will
conventionally have a similar colour scheme to the front
page and contents page with some possibly
differences.
