1. Screen Grabs of Music
Magazine

2. As the starting point for my front cover, I added
in my front cover image. This took longer than
expected due to my initial photos not being quite
right for one reason or another.

3. The next part I added was small
details like the barcode as it
allowed me to begin to gauge how
much space I would have for the
cover lines on my cover.

4. I then decided to add my masthead
which took time to adapt as the font
I had originally chosen didn’t suit
the genre of my magazine. Also I
added an outer layer to my
masthead which linked to my colour
scheme as I added a blue around the
text.

5. I then added another small detail to
my work by placing the price, date
and issue number on top of my
barcode. Originally I had them more
spread out across the page as well as
the font being way too big. I was
advised to make them much smaller
and placed just above the barcode.

6. Next, I needed to add in my
positioning statement. This took
longer than expected as my original
ideas didn’t seem realistic or fit
with the genre of my magazine.
Eventually I got to one that was
good enough. Originally I had the
statement spread straight across
the top of the page, however I was
informed to make it smaller and
have it just above part of my
masthead.

7. Afterwards, it was necessary to then add my
cover lines, so I added my main cover line to
judge how much space I would have around
my main image for my other cover lines.

8. I needed to add cover lines as it was
one of the last parts of my magazine
that was needed.

9. I needed to add cover
lines as it was one of
the last parts of my
magazine that was
needed.

10. I needed to add cover lines as
it was one of the last parts of
my magazine that was needed.

11. I needed to add cover lines as it
was one of the last parts of my
magazine that was needed.

12. I needed to add cover lines as it was one of
the last parts of my magazine that was
needed.

13. As a final addition to my magazine, I
added a banner to the bottom of my
front cover as it is a common code
and convention of music magazines.

14. As the final touches to my magazine I added
the text necessary for my banner which is
adding names of popular bands from the
indie genre.

15. To start off my contents page I
placed in the title of the page so I
could judge how much space I
would have for my text and
images for the rest of the page.

16. Next I added in the guides of my
columns for the page to see how
much space I would have on the
page. Then I began to add in my page
numbers as a baseline for where my
articles would go.

17. After I removed the title of the page
as I wasn’t sure on the font, but I did
carry on with adding in my page
numbers for my articles.

18. I then decided to add in my first image so
I could see how much space it would take
up, so my articles would fit on.

19. Next, I added my first article headline
to my image so I knew which article I
didn’t have to put into the columns and
I also made the text white as the blue
was difficult to see.

20. I then added my first column of text for
my regular content. Although this did
take a lot of adjustments as the text
didn’t always fit properly.

21. Next I added my first part of my
feature content, this also took some
adjusting as I had to ensure I had
space for the rest of my images.

22. Then I added the last of my
article headlines for my
feature content which I was
able to fit on the page while
still retaining space to add my
last two images.

23. After adding in my main text, I needed
to add the other extremities that are
essential for a contents page e.g.
adding in titles for the parts of my
magazine e.g. features, for my
feature content.

24. I then added my next image with the
article to match using left over
space, however I did have to ensure
that I had space for my title of the
page.

25. Next I added in my last image with the
article headline which I kept the same
size as the image next to it so I can fit
my title on. Also I added the title for my
regular content while still leaving space
to add my masthead, date and issue
number.

26. As one of my finishing touches for my
contents page, I added my masthead,
issue number and the date as that is
indicative of a magazine contents page.

27. To finish my contents page, I put the
original title I had as I couldn’t find
one that I preferred but I did have to
resize it as it needed to be bigger on
the page than what I had previously.

28. To start off my double
page spread I added my
chosen image to take
up one page.

29. Next I added in my title for
the double page spread which
I had used a quote from my
article for. The font took a
while to decide on but this
seemed more suited to the
indie genre than the others I
was thinking about using.

30. I then added my introduction
paragraph just below the title
of my double page spread, this
also showed how much space I
would have for my article.

31. For this part of my double
page spread, I added in
my pre-written article,
however I had wrote too
much which is why I
needed an extra page.

32. Since I needed an extra page, I needed
to get another image so I found where
I saved the ones I had taken and
luckily found one that seemed good
enough. However this time I put the
picture landscape across the top of the
page so the article could carry on
underneath it.

33. To finish the extra page for my
double page spread, I added the rest
of my article which fit onto the
space that was left but I did have to
make the text slightly smaller.
