1. QUESTION 1

2. FRONT COVER
Mast Head
This is used to show the target audience of a magazine
immediately, NME here have made a simple masthead with a bold
colour to make it stand out and it also matches the cover line, I think
that my front cover mast head also stands out and matches my
magazine genre, with my mast head I made sure that it stood out against
my background.
CVI
Here I used the image of Tyler The Creator for inspiration, I like how
NME used a large picture on the front of their front cover and I wanted
the same on my front cover. The reason why I used a big image for my
front cover is because when I looked at the NME magazine I used in
my planning, I found that the first thing I looked at was the front cover
so I wanted the same effect on my front cover. I wanted my model to
also wear the appropriate clothing for the genre of my magazine and I
think I achieved this.
Pull Quote
I placed my pull quote in a similar place to where NME placed their pull
quote on their magazine, the reason why I used pull quotes is because I
think it would appeal to my audience because in my opinion the
audience want to know what’s inside and what the main story is about
so I added the pull quote to achieve this. I used white text against the
background so that my pull quote could stand out and also the same
text as I did as the other cover lines so that the pull quote didn’t look
out of place. I put a stoke onto my pull quote to emphasise.
Colour Scheme
I used colours that are not too harsh on the eyes, I included colours
such as black, white etc. to keep it classy and to make my front cover
look professional.

3. CONTENTS PAGE
Title
I kept the conventions of the title on NME the
same on my contents page in terms of the
positioning.
Fonts
I used the same font throughout my contents page
so that my contents page didn’t look too complex
and difficult to read.
Colour Scheme
Again I wanted to stick to classy colours, nothing to
bright but something that looked professional, so
with the use of the grey background and the large
faint paint marks I believed it emphasised my
pictures and the things that I wanted to stand out in
my contents page.
Page Numbers
I used this page convention on my Contents Page
and Double Page spread. The reason why I wanted
to do this was because I was following the page
conventions that the magazine I looked at in my
planning.

4. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
Main Image
The main image on my DPS gives
off the genre of my magazine. I
used a cinematic effect on my
model to make the image look
professional and to also bring out
the colour of clothing my model
was wearing, I achieved the
cinematic effect by using
Photoshop. I followed the DPS
conventions of the NME magazine
I followed and the image has the
same structure is my magazine.
Double Page Spread Title
I changed the conventions of the title on the
DPS in the NME magazine I used to follow,
I didn’t want my magazine to look confusing
by having big and small letters in the title. I
used the font ‘Impact’ and I added a stoke to
it to make it look more defined. I decided to
use black so the title stood out against the
white background. I think that the font and
colour work well together and works with the
colour scheme of my DPS
Main Article
I included some swear words in my double
page spread because I wanted my article to
appeal to the target audience I am aiming
for. I also included pull quotes to stick to
the main conventions that NME used on
the DPS you can see on the right.
