LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

4. Proposals
Format:
I am designing a format of my music magazine
creation. I am creating front cover and double
page spread for the eclectic music magazine.
As, this is a large market project form music
magazine, Exclusive, as I need to make the
format right for the front cover and double
page spread.
Working Title:
My working title is “Exclusive” for my music
magazine, however I could the name to “E”, so
this will be more like my music magazine of
inspiration. The font and the colour of my
music magazine will be bold, eye-catching and
simple, so the target audience can read the
title easily. In addition the outline of my title
will be black, however the colour gold with fill
the inside of my title. The title will be across
the magazine at the top.
Genre:
My sub- genre of my music magazine will be eclectic. This
means that their will be different types of genre like pop,
rock, R&B, folks that will be included in my magazine. The
reason why have eclectic genre, is because my magazine
will attract different audience to read my magazine.
Content:
On the double page spread there will be
an interview will be contain of my first
issue. I will interview with Paloma Faith,
who will be answering my question about
her music, inspiration and her fashion.
Moreover, my music magazine will be
released monthly, as Paloma Faith will be
featured on the front cover and double
page spread, as my first issue. The reason
why I have chose a famous artist, not an
unknown is because this will create ‘star
appeal’- (Richard Dyer), as this will
increase the profit of the music
magazine, which will make my music
magazines successful. Moreover, I will
features a puff promotion and use
buzzword like ‘free’, ‘exclusives’ and
‘special’, so the magazine will be exciting
to read as you may feel like that you will
be gain something out of the music
magazine.
Style or Approach:
The denotation of the colour scheme for the magazine front cover
will be red, gold, black and white. The reason why I have chose red
to be included in my music magazine is because red is colour of
danger and therefore, may target audience could be a bit
rebellious, as my magazine could contain swear words during the
magazine. Moreover, the reason I have chose gold in my music
magazine is because my magazine is like a celebration when buying
and reading it, In addition, gold is an exclusive colour, which mean
if you have the right amount if money, you can receive the VIP
treatment of the exclusive information about my magazine. The
reason I have chose white to be included on my colour theme is
because white is a fresh and pure colour, as my music is will fresh
information about your favourite artist or bands. Also, I have
chosen the colour that contrast with white, black, as black is a good
colour for texts.
I am going to use Photoshop to construct the magazine pages
(Front Cover and DPS) because this software have various of tools,
which is benefits me has I can edits the main images and the front
cover and double pages, so this can makes the music magazine
looks professional, so I can make the image look glossy and create
the perfect image for my music magazine.
Some of the tools in Photoshop that will be particularly beneficial
in constructing on the front page will be colour correction, so I can
make the main image duller and brighter, touch ups and
enhancement, all of these tools will help me to create the main
image of the front cover of my first issue of Exclusive.
Audience:
The age range that I want to attract my target audience
is between the ages of 14-30. The reason why I have
choose this ages is because my magazine of inspiration
Q magazine, ages range is between 15-30, however, I
think that with extending the age range for my music
magazine should be aimed at, this reveal that there is
information that is suitable with all ages range. The
gender that my gender would be more likely to be
aiming at is male. This is because for mu magazine of
inspiration, Q magazine, the statics connotes that more
males read Q magazine than females. Therefore for my
music magazine there will be a more male than female
that read my music magazine. However, there will be
females will still read my music magazine, however this
readership will mostly be male. The stereotype that
could read my music magazine will be teenagers is that
they are all addicted to social media and always on their
phones, as they are they are bad and always break the
law. Moreover, they teenagers do not know about real
music.
Length:
I am going to make A4 pages, which will
include the front cover and a double page
spread for the first ever issue of “Exclusive”.
Frequency:
The frequency of my music magazine will be monthly. This is
because their will be a higher quality of information in my music
magazine. In addition there will be more information in my
magazine that will keep, audience interesting as their will
included different information about music, artist or bands.
5. Proposals 2
Format:
As I decided the format of my music magazine for
the front cover and the double page spread. The
format of my music magazine will have a pop
genre, therefore the format will be best suited
for the theme of my music magazine E.
Working Title:
As I have decided for my music magazine to
be called “E”, which stand for “Exclusive”,
however I may change the name of the music
magazine to “volume”, “Harmony” or
“Melody”, which have more of a connection
to music. Like, my magazine of inspiration Q
magazine, the title will be presented in a red
box, with a gold “E” inside the box. As, the
title “E” will be on the left side of the music
magazine.
Genre:
The sub-genre of my music magazine will be pop
music. This mean this magazine will just features
pop music artist like Michael Jackson. In addition,
my music magazine will just appeals to audience
who is a fan of pop music.
Content:
On the double page spread there will be an
interview will be contain of my first issue
of “E”. I will interview with Paloma Faith,
who will be answering my question about
her music, inspiration and her fashion.
Moreover, my music magazine will be
released monthly, as Paloma Faith will be
featured on the front cover and double
page spread, as my first issue. The reason
why I have chose a famous artist, not an
unknown is because this will create ‘star
appeal’- (Richard Dyer), as this will
increase the profit of the music magazine,
which will make my music magazines
successful. Moreover, I will features a puff
promotion and use buzzword like ‘free’,
‘exclusives’ and ‘special’, so the magazine
will be exciting to read as you may feel like
that you will be gain something out of the
music magazine.
Style or Approach:
The denotation of the colour scheme for the magazine
front cover will be is red as the primary colour in my music
magazine colour as red is a bold and eye-catching colour.
Moreover, the colour red is a glamorous, which mean my
music magazine must be glamorous. Moreover, I will use
the colour gold as this represent that my pop music
magazine is exclusive and special. However, I will use the
colour blue in my magazine as the puff promotion, as blue
is a calming colour for my music magazine. Finally, I will use
the colour white and black for most of the background and
the font for my music, as these colours are fresh, bold and
simple, so they will make the magazine easier to read.
I am going to use Photoshop to construct the magazine
pages (Front Cover and DPS) because this software have
various of tools, which is benefits me has I can edits the
main images and the front cover and double pages, so this
can makes the music magazine looks professional, so I can
make the image look glossy and create the perfect image
for my music magazine.
Some of the tools in Photoshop that will be particularly
beneficial in constructing on the front page will be colour
correction, so I can make the main image duller and
brighter, touch ups and enhancement, all of these tools will
help me to create the main image of the front cover of my
first issue of E.
Length:
I am going to make A4 pages, which will
include the front cover and a double page
spread for the first ever issue of “E”.
Frequency:
The frequency of my music magazine will be
monthly. This is because their will be a
higher quality of information in my music
magazine. In addition there will be more
information in my magazine that will keep,
audience interesting as their will included
different information about music, artist or
bands.
Audience:
My music magazine target audience is between 15-30
year old. The reason is because my pop music
magazine will mention mostly modern day artist,
however my music magazine could mention older
pop artist, which could appeal to someone older than
the age range. The gender, which could be more
attracted to my music magazine, is female. This is
because by stereotype males and females, males will
like rock music and also like the colour black or blue
whiles females will like pop music and like the colour
pink and purple.
6. Question 1
These set of results is presented
in the chart. This highlights the
target audience may be
females, however this is
opposite than Q magazine
readership. This suggests that I
have asked more females than
male, which could be a bit bias.
This could shows the gender
readership for my music
magazine as more females has
filled out my music magazine
than males.
7. Question 2
These set of results will
reveal the target audience
of the age range. The main
age range for the readership
is 14-16, as I have asked
more people between the
14-16 because I have ask
more people between the
age range. This is important
because my magazine can
targeted at the younger
target audience, so I can
created a magazine, which is
designed for that specific
target audience.
8. Question 3
This set of results can determine
the most popular genre for my
target audience. The most
popular genre for my music
magazine is pop music. As, my
music magazine will have a
electric of genre for my music
magazine. This mean that my
magazine will involve pop. Even so
I haven't done have R&B as one of
the choice for the question,
someone choice other and then
mention R&B. this means that I
will mention R&B artists in my
magazine as well as pop, rock and
indies artists and bands.
9. Question 4
All of my target audience reveal that
they will be willing to buy a magazine
between £2-£3. This is important
because stereotypically students will
not have enough money to buy a
music magazine over £3 as it is
deemed quite expensive. However all
magazines that have a monthly
frequency are over £3 because they
have more content inside the
magazine and therefore its more
expensive. So I cannot meet with the
target audience request of a cheap
monthly music magazine because my
magazine will be made in a high
quality.
10. Question 5
This sets of results reveal that
most of my target audience
never brought a music
magazine. However, the target
audience who do buy music
magazines, would mostly buy
their music magazine monthly.
Also there is an equal amount
of people who do buy the
magazines weekly and
fortnightly.
11. Question 6
The set of results from my target
audience reveals that they would
prefer to read an interview from an
artist than anything else. Equally,
some of my target audience will like
to look at pictures and
advertisement in the music
magazine. As well as one of my
target audience will like to articles
and artist information. However, no
one would like to read about he
music awards. This is important
their need to be a main features in
my magazine and I also need to
know what my target audience
enjoy to read.
12. Question 7
The set of results will determine
how is the best way to market my
new music magazine. Most of my
target audience thought that social
media is the best way to market a
new magazine, as most teenagers
use social media and therefore it
will be easier to advertise the a
new magazine. However, no
thought that the word of the
mouth is not a good way to
advertise a new magazine, even so
in the past the word of mouth will
be the best way to advertise a
magazine.
13. Question 8
Most of my target audience will
buy a music magazine because
a free gift, as they may seem
that they are gaining something
if they buy a magazine. Some
people may buy a magazine if
the free gift good enough and
not something bad. Only one
person will not buy a music
magazine because of a music
magazine.
14. Question 9
The results on the chart reveal
that the most popular free gift for
my target audience will be
concerts tickets discount voucher.
This could be because most of the
teenagers will prefer to go to a
concert and hear live music.
However some of the target
audience will like to get earphone
or headphone free in the
magazine so they can listen to
their music. Equally amount of
people will like to receive signed
autograph from the artist and
band and a CD. One person will
like to receive a free T- Shirt from
the magazine.
15. Question 10
By looking at the set of results,
there are more people who never
subscribed to the magazine than
have. This could seem like more
people go the the shop than
subscribed yearly to the
magazine. This is important
because if you subscribed to a
magazine and then go bored of
the magazine, you can not stop
the magazine of coming monthly
and get you money back, unlike if
you don’t have a subscribe to the
magazine and buy the magazine
monthly, you can stop buying the
magazine anytime if they are
bored of the magazine.
16. The Final Magazine Front Cover and
Double Page Spread
This reason why I have chose this double page spread to be on
my final magazine is because this would be appealing to be target
audience, a lot of information is featured on this page. For
instance, there is a drop caption about five different music artist
and what page their ‘exclusive’ interview is on. This conforms to
‘star appeal’ (Richard Dyer) as there is smaller pictures of the
artists included on the page and this is also allows the target
audience to have a good relationship with the magazine as it has
more than one famous artist included in the magazine. Also the
main quote will stand out because it is bold and appealing. This
gives the audience an idea of what the interview will be about
and also decides the tone of the interview, such as if the
interview is sad or going to be funny.
The reason why I chose this front cover is because the
appearance of the magazine looks more professional and
also look like its have a higher quality information included
in the magazine. The background is plain as its does take ay
of the ‘star appeal’ (Richard Dyer) away from the artist on
the cover.
Also the Masthead is bold and eye catching, so in a shop the
target audience will be able to find this issue. This will
increase the spending power of the magazine. In addition,
the masthead cover the fault of the main image and how the
page have a flat head.
17. Colour Scheme and House Style
overview
Font
I use the same font of lemonMilk for dafont
throughout my magazine for the main
headline or main quote to keep up the brand
identity. Even so my masthead is manbow
from dafront and therefore it will be on every
page on my magazine magazine.
Masthead
When creating my masthead it is different to Q magazine’s
masthead as they are two separate magazines that offer
different needs to different people. Instead of using a red
box with a white letter, my magazine’s masthead has a full
word called “EXCLUSIVE” which has a black outline with gold
inside. My magazine’s masthead has a bold outline which is
eye catching and will get the readers’ attention.
Colour Scheme
EXCLUSIVE magazine includes a colour scheme as part of
the House colour. The two main colour themes, gold and
red, are repeated throughout my magazine. The gold
suggests that my magazine is a special occasion or a
celebration of reading my magazine. The red represents
danger and rebelliousness as my magazine will include
exclusive information. Also the magazine feature white
and black.
When designing a music magazine you have to include a house style in order to have brand awareness for the
brand identity. This is why I feature the masthead on every page of my magazine. The colour scheme is
repeated throughout my magazine and also I repeated the same font to stand out and bold on the pages.
18. Magazine Market place
My music magazine EXCLUSIVE main competitor is
Q magazine, which have been around for 29 years
much longer than EXCLUSIVE and also built the
status are a respectable music magazine.
One way, I could make my music magazine to be
more popular than Q magazine, is to have more
females artist and bands features in the magazine.
This is important because Q magazine features
more male dominated artists and bands in the
feature, this could be the reason why the
readership is mostly males rather than females. So
by having more female artists and bands features in
the magazine, my magazine could gain more female
readership to my music magazine EXCLUSIVE.
The pricing of my music magazine EXCLUSIVE and Q
magazine have the same price as each other. So the
readership of my magazine, expect a high quality
and a professional looking magazine.
This is examples of Q
magazine front cover and
the layout of the magazine
can look like.
This is examples of Q
magazine double page
spread and the layout of
the magazine can look like.
19. Spending Power
By the statistics of the readership of Q magazine its reveal that ages between
15-24 is the age range that read Q magazine the most. Therefore I predict that
people between the ages of 15-24 will read EXCLUSIVE magazine as both of the
magazines will feature different genre of artists and bands in both of the
magazines. The Hartley’s seven subjective and age, gender, class, self image,
nationality, family and ethnicity is reference when looking at the statistic of the
age range of the readership of the magazines and the spend power.
The spending power would be similar to Q magazine, as the ABC1 is 70% of
readership to Q magazine. This reveal that the readership of a magazine would
have a earn high income and therefore can afford buying Q magazine months.
So I could predict that people would be able to buy a more expensive magazine,
which could have a higher quality contents in the magazine.
However, the statistics for the gender ratio for Q magazine is that a higher
percentage of males read Q magazine rather than females. As 68.3% of males
read Q magazine and female have 31.7% for the readership of Q magazine. This
would be the difference both Q magazine and my prediction as the statistic of
EXCLUSIVE magazine, as Q magazine is a male dominated magazine. This is way
EXCLUSIVE magazine features equal amount of female and male artists and
bands, so my magazine will be equal gender balance and won’t appeal to one
gender.
I predict that EXCLUSIVE magazine’s readership and
the spending powers of for my target audience.
I have to publish the correct date, which is base on
the statistic that I predicted for from the statistic
for Q magazine which is publish online. The reason
why I have chose Q magazine’s statistic to analyse
is because both of the magazines features similar
contents which is produce.

• One way to have a higher readership of females to reader EXCLUSIVE is
female singers and bands in the EXCLUSIVE.

23. Test Photograph
The reason why I need to take test image is because I would
need to know what poses will best suited for my music
magazine. Also, it is important to take test pictures as it can help
to reveals what that mood or theme of the magazine will be. The
theme can be detected by the facial expression or body language
of the person.
In addition, the test pictures are important to do before a photo
shot because you will know what clothes will be best suit for the
magazine. Also the makeup will be important for a photo shot as
it can reflect the theme and mood of the magazine as well.

32. Graphic Layout Front Cover
I used my magazine of inspiration, Q magazine for my layout of the magazine. On the first layout of the
magazine, the masthead is different, as for Q masthead, it is in a box, whilst my masthead is spread
out. However this is more similar to Mojo as the strapline is under the masthead like in Q magazine.
However my second layout has the same masthead as Q magazine however the puff promotion is
different as the puff promotion on my second layout is more eye catching for the target audience.
33. Graphic Layout Front Double Page
Spread
For the double page spread, this will help to guide me where I should put my interview and also the main
picture of the artist who is being interviewed. The first graphic layout is inspired by Q magazine as the
interview was in at the bottom not in columns like the second graphic idea. However in both of my ideas,
the headline quote is on the main image. As they both mention the masthead and the issue number of the
magazine. However the first idea is on the right hand corner like Q magazine but my second idea is on the
top of the magazine , so the target audience know what magazine and issue number they are reading.
34. Planned Format and Style of Front Cover
Masthead
I have decided to place the masthead
across the width of the magazine, as this
is eye catching and bold and able to see
the magazine in a shop on the shelf. The
logo is inspired by Mojo, as it is the same
style of the masthead but just in a
different font. However, the colouring of
the font is like Q magazine, as they are
both bright in colour as this will be more
eye catching. This could ensure that more
people will buy the magazine because the
appearance of the magazine will look
professional and fun to read.
Main Story
The main story is placed off the right main
image. This is important because this will tell
the audience which artists and bands are going
to be featured in the main story. This will be in
bold so the audience will be attracted to the
magazine, if they are fans of the artist/band.
Moreover, this is under the strapline if the
magazine because you will know that the main
story is important because it is exclusive, just
like my magazine.
Puff Promotion
I have decided to put the puff promotion
on the left hand corner of the music
magazine. It will be in a bright colour such
as red to create importance of the puff
promotion, as you could win or get
something free if you buy the magazine.
Barcode
I have decided to place the barcode
on the right hand corner like some of
the issues of my magazines of
inspiration of Q magazine. The
barcode of my magazine will tell you
how much the magazine costs and
the date the magazine was released.
Headline Quote
The Headline Quote is on the right of the
main image and will be eye catching
because it will be in bold. This could also
create emotion for the audience as the
headline quote can suggest if the
interview is going to be humorous or sad.
Main Article Feature
The main article feature is placed on the right
of the magazine. The purpose of the main
article feature is to show people which artists
and bands will be included in the magazine.
The magazine will have ‘star appeal’ so this
will create a sense of importance for the
audience about the magazine.
Strapline
I have decided to place the strapline under
the masthead on the right. As, I have
decided my strapline to be “Hear Our
Voice”. This is important because the
strapline will be near the masthead. This is
important because this will be brand
identity, as the strapline could be catchy
and well known.
35. Planned Format and Style of Front Cover
House Colour
I have decided my main house
colour will be gold as on my
masthead it is gold to express
celebration and a special occasion,
as buying my magazine, should be a
celebration. In addition, another
colour would be red for my
magazine, as it is bright and bold, so
this will appeal to the readers.
Another two colours which will be
mentioned throughout my magazine
are black and white as the colour will
be used for the background of the
magazine and the font of the
magazine.
Cover lines
I have decided to put the
cover lines on the left side
of the music magazine.
This will be below the
masthead so this will tell
the audience what will be
included in the music
magazine. This will make
the magazine more
important as they can see
how many artists/bands
are included in the
magazine.
House Style
During the interview, the font will be in the same size and
also have the same font style. Moreover, the main story
will be different to create a sense of importance for the
reader.
36. Planned Format and Style of Double Page Spread
Stand First
The stand first will be featured
above the interview because this
will be eye catching for the
audience, so they will know what
the interview is be about.
Main Image
The main image of the article
covers nearly both pages. The
image is large and therefore it
could be eye catching for the
audience, as they can see
their favourite artist on the
double spread page. The
picture could create ‘star
appeal’ for the audience, so
you can get an exclusive image
of the person. Moreover, this
could convey the person's
personality, as they can be
seen in a more down to earth
light.
Pull Quote
I have decide to place the Pull Quote on the main picture as this will create the
first impression of the interview and also you can tell what tone the interview
will be in. The Pull Quote will be large and bold, so this will be eye catching for
the audience and encourage them to read the interview.
Caption about other
artists/bands
Like my magazine of inspiration,
Q magazine, this will include
other artists/bands and give
dates of their album releases or
dates for their next concerts.
Brand Identity
The brand identity is very
important, as this will be
included in all of my pages in
the magazine. Moreover, this
will include the masthead, the
page number and also the
issue date.
Interview
The interview is the main part of the double page spread of the
magazine. This is important because they can read about their favourite
artists/bands. Moreover, in the interview you can read some of their
stories . The interview can create the tone of the double page spread of
the magazine, which can create an emotion in the reader. If the tone of
the interview is sad, the reader may feel the sadness of the person.
However, if the interview is funny, then the reader may laugh with or at
them and also they will feel happy as well.
Information about the artist.
This reason I have chosen to have the
information about the artist is
because the audience well learn fun
facts about them, so they can create a
bond with the artist and also create
their own opinion about the artist, so
they will know whether they like them
or not. Moreover, the information
about the artist will be in the drop
caption and could be used to advertise
up and coming concerts or new
albums about to be released.
Main Story Title
The main story title is used on the front cover, so the audience will know
what the interview is about. The same main story title will be on the double
page spread, as the audience can identity that they are on the right page.
37. Masthead
I have decided to place my masthead
on the left corner of the music
magazine. Moreover, I have decided
to place the letter ‘E’ , which stands
for ‘Exclusive’. Moreover the ‘E’ is in a
red box, just like my music magazine
of inspiration, which is Q magazine.
However, I have changed the colour of
the font, as my font colour is gold,
while Q magazines is white. The
reason I have changed the colour of
the font is because the music
magazine will be more eye-catching
for the audience. Moreover, the
colour gold seems more exclusive and
also exciting for the audience to see,
as gold is the colour of celebration
and buying my music magazine should
be a celebration.
Puff Promotion
The puff promotion is at the top of
the music magazine on the right hand
side. This is important because the
puff promotion could be the first
thing the audience can see on the
music magazine as it is next to the
masthead. Therefore, they may buy
the magazine because they found a
free gift, which they like in the music
magazine.
Barcode
The barcode is placed at the bottom right hand corner of the magazine.
This is because my music magazine of inspiration, Q magazine, has their barcode on the
bottom right hand corner for some of their magazine issue.
Moreover, the barcode is useful for a magazine because this tells you the cost and the issue
number. Moreover by looking at the date of the magazine, this will ‘inform’ (Katz) you of
the frequency of the magazine such as weekly or monthly.
Headline Quote
The headline quote is under the main story
because the audience can associate the quote
to the main story, as they will be from the same
articles. Moreover, the audience can sense a
tone from the main story by the headline
quote.
Main Story
The main story is on the left hand side of
the main image. The reason why the main
story is placed there is because the
audience can associate the main story to
the artist on the front cover. Moreover, it is
important to feature a main story because
the audience will feel that you can not
receive this information anywhere else
apart from in this music magazine.
Strapline
The strapline is placed under the masthead. This is important because the strapline is
for brand identity as the strapline is part of the music magazine’s image.
Moreover, the strapline must be short, so people can remember the strapline when
thinking of my music magazine.
Planned Format and Style of Front Cover
38. Cover lines
The cover lines of the
magazine are on the right
side of the magazine and
next to the main image. This
will tell the audience what
will be featured in the
magazine. This could
persuade the audience to
buy the magazine to read
what their favourite
artist/band have been to up
to and see exclusive
information about them.
House Style
The house style for my music magazine will have the same size page on
each page. However, some font size will be larger than other sizes because
this will create importance to buy the magazine and will also create the
excitement for the audience. The font size will be larger because it is
creating exclusivity as the information is only available in that magazine.
House Colour
The main house colour for my
music magazine is red, like my
magazine of inspiration, Q
magazine. As red is a bold and eye
catching colour. Another, main
house colour for my music
magazine is gold, as gold is an
exciting colour and the audience
should be excited to read my music
magazine. Another, house colour
for my music magazine is white and
black, as these are used for the font
and also for the background.
Planned Format and Style of Front
Cover

Quote From Interview

interview. The quote from the interview will be large and bold, so this will be
eye catching for the audience and encourage them to read the interview.

is covered nearly both the
page. The image is large and
therefore is could be eye

page. The picture could create
‘star appeal’ for the audience,
so you can get an exclusive
image of the person.

down to earth light.
Stand First
The stand first will be
featured above the interview
because this will be eye
catching for the audience, so
they will know what the
interview will be about.
Interview
The interview is the main part
of the double page spread of
the magazine. This is
important because they can
read what the artists/bands
really think of their music.
Moreover, in the interview
you can read some of their
stories . The interview can
create the tone of the double
page spread of the magazine,
which can create an emotion
in the reader. If the tone of
the interview is sad, the
reader may feel the sadness
of the artist. However, if the

the artist and also feel happy
themselves.

important, as this will be
included in all my pages of the
magazine. Moreover, this will
include the masthead, the
page number and also the

double page spread, as the audience can identity that they are on the right
page.
Second Image
The second image on the
left will reveal more of them
as a musician as the image
could be an insight to their
personality.
40. Interview Draft Planning
For the double page spread in my music magazine I will write an interview with the artist, Paloma Faith who will be
featured on my double page spread as she features as the main story and will also feature a headline quote from the
interview, so this will attract the audience to read my music magazine because she is a famous singer and therefore, the
‘star appeal’ will form, as her fans will buy the music magazine because she will be featured in the music magazine.
I have chosen to interview Paloma Faith because she is well known because of her many hits like “Only Love can hurt like
This”, “Upside Down” or “New York”. Moreover, I have chosen Paloma Faith because the genre of her songs are soul, jazz
and pop, this means she specialises in eclectic music, just like my music magazine. In addition, Paloma Faith has a
successful career in the music industry and her song “Changing” is number 1 on the UK singles. Furthermore, she has
won and been nominated for numerous different award ceremonies like the Brit Awards, Glamour Awards and the O2
Silver Clef Awards for her music.
During the interview I will ask her questions about her music career and what artists inspire her for her music and what
inspires her to sing. I will ask about her more about her music.
The interview will be a layout of on the double
page spread. There will be different questions and
different answers for the interview. I have used
format because it is like many of the different
double page spread in Q magazine. So the
audience can understand the format of the
interview in the music magazine.
This is my page of inspiration for the Q
magazine for the October 2015 issue on page
15. As they use different colours for the font,
this will make the writing bolder and easier to
read.
41. Draft Article - Interview
Interviewer: Hello Paloma. It’s good to meet with you – how are you?
PALOMA: Good to be finally meeting with you, very excited to be here. I’ve been good, thanks.
Interviewer: Congratulation, for winning your first Brits award for British Female Solo Artist this year.
PALOMA: thank you, I was very happy that I finally won a Brits award, after all have been nominated three times and never won a
Brits award before. So, this was very special for me when I won my first Brits award.
Interview: Does fame affect the your day to day life?
PALOMA: No, because I have made a conscious effect to stay with friends, have always had, do the same things and go to the
same places. This is because my friends can’t afford to go to posh or fancy places with me, so I go with them to do cheap and
cheerful things (laugh). So I am so relaxed with my friends, so I’m always forgetting that I am in the public eye. So, when people
ask for a photo with me, I still find it really weird.
Interview: Who is your biggest inspiration?
PALOMA: Well… I would say Etta James. She is a singer between the 50s and 60s. I tell people that she was like a teacher because
I never had any singing lesson as I would copy the style of her vocal. I have been having singing lesson now because I need to
know the techniques to save my voice. Another artist is Billie Holiday and all of the old singers.
Interview: So, you are known for your retro and eccentric style well as voice. So would you explain what you are wearing.
PALOMA: Well, I am wearing everything from the high-street. So the top and the trousers are from H&M. as these shoes are
from New Look. As, the beret is from eBay, they come in lots of colours. When I was an opening act for prince, he did say to me
that I was one of the best dressed people in the music industry at the moment. So that was quite nice.
Interview: So I heard that you done a bit of acting during your career as a singer, What have you been in and have you audition
to do anything else?
PALOMA: Well, my I appeared in one episode of Holby Blue , which is on the BBC. I played a thief. (Laugh) also I was in St Trinian
in 2007 as Andrea who was the Emo. I’ve been in others acting things in was like I was cast in Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctors
Parnassus. I did audition for Kickass 2 but I have never got a call back.
Interview: Talking about your television appearances, I heard you are replacing Rita Ora on the Voice
PALOMA: Yes, I am going to be a coach in the 5th series on the voice. I am very excited about this, as I would be finding new fresh
talents in the UK. This will be a new experience, as its not about acting or singing, but it’s more about being yourself. So I hope
you be watching.
Interview: Don’t worry, I will watch it. I heard a rumour that you have started making your fourth album, as you announce it at
Glastonbury Festival. Can you give anything away.
PALOMA: That is true, I am in the process of making the albums. I’m not going to say anything yet. The song Purple Haze by Jimi
Hendrix did inspire for my fourth album. It’s going to be a surprise. That’s all I'm going to say.
Interview: Can you tell me more about your upbringing and how you started singing.
PALOMA: Well, I have an English mum and Spanish dad, they divorced when I was four years old, so I was raised by my mum. My
mum wanted me to be a dancer, so I would go to dance lesson every week. I did my A-levels at City and Islington College and
then I studied for a degree at Northern School of Contemporary dance for contemporary dance. Then, I was lucky enough to get
into Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design do, I can study for an MA in Theatre Directing. I knew this was a good
opportunity, so I took a lot of part time job like Sales assistant at Agent Provocateur, singer in a burlesque cabaret, a life model
and a magician’s assistant. So I can pay for my education.
Interview: Wow, you have do lots of different part time job. This interview is sadly coming toward the end, what are you
hoping to do in the future?
PALOMA: I want to continue making music, have a career and have a family one day. I also want to travel with my work because I
have done lots in the UK and I have happy with the support I have received. But, I'm not well known around the world, that is my
next aim.
I have created a draft interview, which
featured the famous pop, jazz and soul
signer Paloma Faith. I have created these
questions because of my music magazine,
Q magazine. This is because I have
created a style of magazine, which is
about herself, her music and her fashion
so she will feel comfortable with the
questions.
I know that I couldn’t get a real interview
with Paloma Faith, for my question so I
received my information about Paloma
Faith from previous interviews she as
done from IBM.TV. I Also, got my
information from different website.
Link to the IBM.TV. interview, where I have
receive most of my interview about Paloma
Faith.

42. Magazine Flat Plan
This is the flat plan
for my first music
magazine. The red
number represent
which page will be
mention in the
music magazine.
I have made 60
page because the
frequency of the
magazine is
monthly and
therefore need
more pages than a
weekly or
fortnightly
magazine.
This is where my
double page spread
will be display on
my magazine
43. Magazine Flat Plan 2
This is another flat
plan for my
second music
magazine. The red
letters will
represent, which
of the pages I will
create on
Photoshop. The
blue box
represent picture
will be feature in
my music
magazine, for the
advert to the
pictures of music
artist and bands.
This is where my
double page spread
will be display on
my magazine
44. Photoshop Version
Both of the front cover I have design two different front cover, so I can decide which of my double spread cover is best
design for my target audience and the demographic. By the appearance the audience can see which of the front cover
they like because of the colour scheme or the font style I used.
The first magazine front cover I have design is “EXCLUSIVE”. This was my
first attempt of using Photoshop. The colour scheme of my magazine
which I used is red, gold, white and black. The reason why I have chose
these colours for the colour scheme is because this will be bold and is
also it will look professional as these colour are simple and it will also
stand out.
The background of my music magazine is black and white as I will use the
gradient effect, so these colour contrast with each other. This good
represent good and evil. The main line, cover line and the main quote all
have the same font as this is brand brand identity and the font is also
bold and eyes catching .
My second magazine font cover is “E” is which the masthead is
similar to my magazine of inspiration, Q magazine. The magazine
convergence is the same as my first magazine front cover line the
cover line or main quote.
On good thing about my second magazine is inspiration is the
background of white and gold, as the background is easy on the
line and also represent celebration and fun, which represent the
theme of the magazine as fun, so it will attract the younger
target audience.
However, one negative impact of my second music magazine is
the main image. This is important because on the top of the
image the head is flat and you can’t cover the flat head with the
masthead like I did on my first music magazine, as the masthead
is inside a red box.

Idea
45. Photoshop Version
I have designed two double page spread on Photoshop.
This will help me to discover my final double page spread
and why it is well suite for my target audience.
The first double page spread I have design was for
“EXCLUSIVE”. I have insert on of the pictures of the trail
photo as the main images, whilst on the right side of the
double page spread, with four famous singer, which will
add ‘star appeal” (Richard Dyer) as the target will gain five
famous artists on one page, with a full interview and four
facts about them and a number of the page for their
interview. The main quote cover half of the page, so it will
be eye catching and bold. I also have the page number at
the bottom of the page with the masthead beside it.
One disadvantage of the double page spread is that there
is no page title or no name of the artist, so there is no way
someone will to know that who the artist is.
First Double
Page Spread
Second Double
Page Spread
The second design of the double page spread is for
‘E magazine’ I have include the house style of the
front cover and adapted for this double page spread.
However for this page I have created one full image
of the artist on one half and a full page of interview
another half. Also on this page I have created a
smaller image of the artist with a quote next to it, so
that it will draw the target audience to read the
interview. This is important because the target
audience would more likely to read the interview as
its wouldn’t be a half of page of text. This would also
add ‘star appeal” (Richard Dyer) as there are two
images on the double page spread of the same
artist.
However one disadvantage of this double page
spread is that is that I haven’t included the artist
name on the, so the target audience may not know
who the artist is.

66. Second Magazine Front Cover and
Double Page Spread
The reason why I haven't chose this double page spread to be my
final double page spread is because the interview have too much
text on it and not appealing to my target audience and the
demographic of the people who is buying the magazine.
Another element of the music magazine I could change to
improve the quality of the magazine is the main quote next to
the main image. This is important because quote is too small and
therefore its not that appealing to read.
To improve this double page spread for next time, I will add a
larger image of the artist in the middle of the interview, not at
the bottom and also I will make the main quote larger so it will
be more appealing.
The reason why I haven’t chose this front cover to be my
final cover is because the picture quality of the image is
not good, a the model head is flat because of the camera
angle of the main image. Another reason why I haven’t
chose this to be my front cover is because the gold text of
the magazine contrast with the white and gold
background. To improve this front cover for next time I will
change the background to a darker colour or I will change
the colour of the gold text to red
67. Production Changes – Front CoverFront Cover Correction
When I was created the first draft of front cover, I have gain feedback so I will be able to make changes to the front cover to make it better. Therefore it will make it look more
professional so that it will look like it is made from a high quality. On this page I will be comparing my first draft of front cover to my final front cover. This is important as the final
correction will reveal all of the correction that I have made. Some of the changes that for the final front cover are the background, the eye colour, puff promotion and coverline. So
when I have received feedback from my first Front Cover, I had to change the cover to make it more suited to publisher and therefore this could improve the sale figure of my
magazine as it will look more professional.
I have change the colour background from white to grey to black and change it to light grey and the dark grey. This is important because I have change the background because to
relate to my magazine of inspiration (Q magazine). Also, this could make my magazine to seem like it have a rock theme and people could get the wrong idea of what music
information will contain of. This is why the background of the magazine have a naturel as my magazine will contain if all music genre.
I have also change the coverline information and the different colours of the coverline. This is important because my magazine will feature the range of colours and not all ways
features the colour schemes in the magazine. Also also made the left side of my magazine to have all of the main story and on the right side there are just mention one main story
about rating new albums. Also I have use different colours on my coverline line such as an olive green because it will appeal to more people as it will not be just red and gold, which
could make it look unprofessional.
For the main headline and the main quote are connected together. I have created the main headline to white. Firstly, I have made the name “NICOLE” and then made the name
“ANGUS” normally. I also made the main quote on top of the “ANGUS” and then change it from an olive colour.
In addition, I have moved the puff promotion, from the bottom left side and move it from the top right side under the strapline so that it will be more like my magazine of inspiration
(Q magazine). I also change the prize of the puff promotion from winning an apple product to win free iTune because this prize will relate to music more and therefore help the my
magazine with further sales because as the prizes from the magazine can get bigger and better..
Moreover, the website link has moved next to the puff promotion and I have place the website link under the masthead.

68. Production Changes –Double Page
SpreadDouble Page Spread Correction
I will be comparing the before and after version of my double page spread. I have gained the feedback from the publisher gave me. This will reveal what changes I have made because of the correction that I have been
given. The correction that I have received was to help me to made my magazine better and therefore make the magazine look professional and made from a high quality. For the facts about the new album box, it was
suggest that I should add a black drop shadow around the red box so it will stand out on the page. Also it was suggest that I should add bullet point instead of have sentences and I should also change the font of the
text as well.
In addition, the new album box had an effect of the black shadow because the red box will stand out and therefore the target audience will be able and notice the fun facts about the album about the artists will
released.
Also improvement on the double page spread is the I have to neatened up the the bottom section of the page. As the masthead, the page number, the social symbols and also the web address are too close together.
This is is why I have moved the web address on the left side and I have made the social media symbol the same size. In addition, I have made the decrease the black stroke on the masthead. This is important because
you would be able to see the detail of the masthead on the page. Also decrease the black stroke on the page number because the masthead and the page number will have the same black stroke and it is also easier to
read. However on the final draft I have decided to change the bottom section of the pages by getting rid of the social symbols and replace it with the issue number. This is important as this is more like my magazine of
inspiration Q magazine. This is important I have more it look neater and more professional as it doesn’t look messy as it did before. This will mean that it look simple and bold on the page and also doesn’t take away
from any ‘star appeal’ from the interview.
You can also see that I have place my masthead across the black pattern background, so that this will be a type of brand awareness, as this will add more detail to the magazine and also this will make my double page
spread to look fun and creative because of this decision.
In addition, I have moved the EXCLUSIVE website from line under the social media symbols and moved it under the interview.
On the final draft of my magazine, I used the ruler tool more often so that I will be able to line up different text boxes through out my magazine. Example of when I have used the ruler tool to make my page layout
accurate is when I have lined up ‘MUST HEAR SOUNDS OF 2015’ to the images of different artist that is in a gold box. In addition, I have used the ruler tool to to line up the facts about the artists to the artists pictures
which are features in the gold box. Also, I have decided to put the artists' names in bold. This is important as this will add ‘star appeal’ to the piece of text as they can quickly find the artists’ name. In addition, I have
proof read my work so that I will be able to find any spelling, grammar and punctuation mistake that I have made when typing the the double page spread. Example of when I have spelt a word wrong is when I have
spelt release like ‘reasled’.

69. Conclusion
By creating two front cover and two double page spread, I know how to use Photoshop and the
different elements of Photoshop such as how to use the rule tool. By looking at the two front
cover and two double page spread I know that it is important to stick within the house style so it
will look professional and the target audience will have high expectation.
By looking at the target audience such as which gender have the higher percentage of readership
of my magazine of inspiration Q magazine. I can stated the problem that Q is a male dominated
and found a way that females will read my music magazine. Therefore, this will increase the
spending power of my music magazine and become more popular than Q.
Also, I have ask people to fill out my questionnaire online and question that will relate to the
process of my music magazine and their opinion what they would like to see on the magazine
which will make it better. This will also help me to to understand ways to attract my target
audience to my new magazine.
