The document discusses the design choices made for magazine covers and content pages. For the covers, a two-color scheme and column layout was used to give it a professional look. Medium close-up photos were chosen. For the content pages, a column layout was also used for ease of navigation. The color scheme and fonts were modified to match the magazine's house style. Photographs of different genres of rock music were chosen to showcase its variety.

1. Use
From the Q magazine I used the column
style for the cover stories because I found it
gave it a professional look, as well as the
two colour scheme with the text works really
we due to the contrast garbing the attention
of the reader. As well I used the same
position for the cover picture due to its
suitability. both photos on the covers are
medium close up shots. The language used
are very similar straight to the point giving
the reader the information quickly helping
them deciding weather to buy the magazine.
Develop
Both cover story's are in a bold font and
make a statement all I did was change the
position of the cover story and the font style
as well the positioning of the other cover
story's are to the right where as the Q
magazine is to the left. finally I change the
colour scheme to red white and black to
show contrast garbing the attention
Challenge
The challenge I faced was creating the
masthead as you can see Q magazine is in
the left hand corner in a square where as
mine is over the top of the page the
difficulties was to get the right balance
between size on the page

2. Use
I used the general layout of the
magazine content page due to the
professional look and the ease on
navigation they both use a column style
layout.
Develop
I changed the colour scheme used to
match the house style of my magazine
as well as the text font and size to a
smaller font to allow for all text to fit in. Q
magazine has their masthead in the box
at the top of the page where I placed it
just on top for a larger font to tell which
page they are on.
Challenge
The photographs I used are different
from the other magazine I wanted to
show the different sub-genres that rock
provides from the concerts and festivals
to the Indi rockers like the one at the
bottom of the page I also change the
camera positions to a very long shot and
a worm angle.

3. Use
Both magazines split there double page into one of text and one for a picture I find it looks very
professional and easy to read compared when the text is overlay the image as well as that both us a
columns for the text to fit the page. Both magazines used an interview for the double page spread I
find it will appeal to more of the target audience because its the artist answering the questions.
Develop
I chose to make the opening statement to be larger font size and to use capitals to give the
impression its very import article, initially the image I chosen was full colour but I decided to use
black and white to reflect the models mood this goes with the facial expressions as well pink is
laughing and has a bright background suggesting a fun article where as he looks a little annoyed
and the black and white adds to the mood.
Challenge
The font used are slightly different and a little smaller on my page this is because of the amount of
writing and the larger opening statement as well my artist name is larger that the Q magazine
suggesting its a more serious article and the mood he’s in. I decided to use a medium close up due
to the clothing he's wearing and his body language,i chose to show his clothing due to his style of
clothing are fashionable now so the reader could take inspiration from him.
