The document outlines the layout and design elements of a magazine draft for an indie music genre magazine. Key elements included on the front cover are the simplistic logo in the top right corner to catch the reader's eye, slanted photo booth-style images to advertise interior articles, and information about the main feature article and competitions. The contents page lists sub-articles and images are included to entice readers. Double page spreads continue the house style with a large main image and smaller edited photos relating to modern apps.

1. Magazine Drafts
Indie Genre

2. The logo on the front cover
is simplistic. it is placed in
the top right hand corner
of the page because when
the audience scan the front
cover their eyes move in an
anticlockwise motion
meaning this is the first
thing they will see.
these trio of images are
put at a slant to make
them look like Photo Booth
images with the iconic
white border around them.
i have decided to do this
because editing
photographs is very
popular at the moment.
This is the image for the
main article. it is the
largest image and so the
audience will realise what
it is very easily.
This is the title for the
main article which will give
the buyer a bit more
information about the
article without giving too
much away
Front Cover
this is the main title which
will be in quite a simplistic
font but very large size
that it makes an
impression
This box includes
information for a sub
article inside the magazine.
This box advertises a
competition inside the
magazine which is another
thing that might attract
readers to buy the
magazine.
The price and barcode are
located at the bottom of
the magazine quite small
as it isn't the main focus of
the front cover.

3. The house style is
indicated by this record
that is positioned in the
corner. Around the
record will be a
statement explaining
what’s on that page e.g.
main feature or
competition
Pictures on this page will
be positioned at a slant as
if they have just fallen out
of a photo booth. The
images will be of different
articles within the
magazine to persuade the
readers to buy the
magazine.
In this part of the page
the editorial will be
located at the bottom of
the page as there is a big
space here and it is
where the editorial is
usually located
This is another house
style feature
Contents Page
These indicate the subarticles which are inside
the magazine, advertised
on the contents page
This is the image of the main
article. It is the largest image
on the page implying
importance.
Competitions are commonly
found in music magazines so i
have included one to adhere
with the convention.
This is another common
feature of any magazine,
persuading the readers to
subscribe to the magazine in
a simple and easy way.
This row includes other subarticle advertisements which
will entice the reader to read
all of the magazine.

4. Double Page Spread
This is a feature of the
house style, continuing the
house style theme that has
already been set.
This is the main image to
accompany the article. It
has nearly a whole page to
its self as this is probable
the main reason the
audience bought the
magazine and what they
would like to see most.
these images, similar to the
ones on the other pages are
made to look edited so
people can relate to modern
technology and apps like
Instagram.
The quote is creates
a break form the
text and the article.
It is also a main
feature of music
magazine articles so
people will recognise
it from other
articles.
