3. Table Of Contents Date and Logo: - Information for readers on what date it is and having the logo shows the readers what magazine its from Title: I have used the same font as my logo to carry on the theme of the magazine. Images: My images are at the theme of the magazine which is electro/ alternative music. I have also added one of my DPS images on to it showing that it will be included in the magazine. Contents: For my editorial pillar I used sub title and then a small amount of information underneath the not giving away to much description on what i included i my magazine.
4. Double Page Spread Images: I edited the images on Photoshop darkening the colour of the images to make it have a scary sense to it. Also using the colours to Interview Title: I carried on using the same font as the front cover introducing the band that is being interviewed. I think it is important to carry on there theme because it make it look like a real magazine. Pull Quote: I have added a pull quote carrying on the tradition with most magazines. I placed it right in the middle of my text which will attract the readers attention before reading the interview. Language: I have looked at past interview's and I have seen how some magazines depending on the age target of the magazine they display different text including swear est. I tried use young youth wording when I put together my interview otherwise I think it would have sounded boring and not in theme with the magazine and the actual ‘band’

Editor's Notes
I tryed to keep a theme going through out the pictures with the theme of a clubby look towards it and kept it as a strong music magazine and nothing else like fashion in the magazine like other do. Iv also kept the colour theme going though out the contents page from the front cover and the DPS with the colours red black and white.
With my DPS i have used the same colour theme as the front cover as the magazine, The logo on top right hand corner is important to have as it shows the readers what magazine it is. I have carried on using the same page number font. I have places the pull quote in the middle of the interview text which will catch the readers eye before actually reading the interview. I made the text white and bold and also giving it a drop shadow to make it stand out more.
I have made the font on all three of my Front cover, DPS and TOC the same flow through out My target audience are between the age of 16 to 20 year olds and my aim of genre music is Alternative Electronic music. The lamguage that i ahave included in mostley my DPS is for the older youth as it includes some swearing.
With my music magazine front cover I tried to make it stand out in certain ways with choosing the right image and text. The image that I used wasn't good enough on its own so I edited the colour and the figure to make it look more interesting and with the colour make it stand out more with brightness. I also used a grungy kind of font to make it stand out and edited it all in photo shop with using different brushed to give it a good edge. I wanted my target audience to think about the image as well as it is quite an abstract image of a person but intresting to look at.
With my contents page I thought about other magazines and how they displayed there images and text into a simple but effect way so the readers could easily follow and understand.
I used on Photoshop different brushed to suit this page with the images. I think using large images make the page look more interesting and I edited the images to look more interesting. I addressed my audience in the sort of young youth talk of today and easy to understand.
From the beginning of starting at my School magazine to my music magazine i have learnt a lot int he process most importantly in Photoshop because i know alot more information and tools i can use to make the magazine look much more professional and make it look a lot more better. I also have included a lot of things that are originally in real magazines like the bar code and the slugs and the different issues of the magazine and having your own brand name. Positioning different things in different places make the magazine look more professional.
