3. Proposal for Mixer
Proposals highlight the format of my magazine e.g. how I am
going to lay every section out within my magazine front cover.
Also indicates the genre that I am making it around and the
content that is interlinked with it.
4. Proposal for Xtra
Proposals highlight the format of my magazine e.g. how I am
going to lay every section out within my magazine front cover.
Also indicates the genre that I am making it around and the
content that is interlinked with it.
7. Test Photography
These images are just three of the images that my
photographer took. These were the best three in my opinion.
With the white background it made it easier for me.
13. House style and colour scheme
The colour scheme of Mixer magazine is red, black and grey. I
think that these three colours contrast well together and will
bring out the best of my magazine. These three colours connote
bold, big and startling colours which I think that will bring out
the best of my magazine when put on the shelves and when
people see the magazine, they will instantly want to buy it.
14. House style and colour scheme
The colour scheme of Xtra magazine is red, black and dark grey. I
think that these three colours contrast well together and will
bring out the best of my magazine. These three colours connote
bold, big colours which I think that will bring out the best of my
magazine, when the audience see they will want to instantly buy
it.

20. Draft Interview
1. Hello Harry, how are you?
I’m very good, thank you, how are you?
2. Yes I am good to thank you for asking. To start off, I hear that you’re bringing out a debut album?
Yes, indeed I am, it’s called “H” and it’s going to be a major hit and I think this is really going to kick start my career. It’s
got some great songs on there that I think a lot of people are going to love. There are also features from major artists
from the R&B industry.
3. What’s the best part about being such a massive artist?
I guess it’s the support from the crowd and your fans that really gets you going as an artist. Once they’ve shown that
they’re interested your music you can really kick start your music career and start to produce more music, for example,
my new album. Meeting the fans is also a big part in your rise to fame, as they are the ones that are supporting you the
whole way through. I remember one time, I had offered VIP tickets to one of my shows and I had a couple of children
come back stage and I had greeted them. One of them had Cerebral Palsy and the other had just been diagnosed with
cancer. My heart sunk as soon as I heard the story and the only way I could thank them was by giving them VIP tickets
to my world tour and an all inclusive stay at the Hotel that I’m also going to be staying at.
4. I just heard you say that you’re going to be touring the world in the major cities, please tell us more?
Yes, I want to tour the world, go to the massive cities and perform for the people that support my music. I feel that
touring the world will allow me to explore the world not just as apart of my music but personally, taking in loads of
ideas that I could use for a next album. Touring the world will obviously be a surreal experience and I am pleasured that
arenas are available for me to do my tour and show to the people of the world what I can offer when I’m performing.
5. What inspired you to start a singing career?
Umm… I guess it was the fact that when I was younger I saw many R&B artists doing their thing on stage or in their
music videos and this inspired me to get up and start my career as an artist. I felt I could put my own style onto my
music if I were to start my singing career, with the tracks that are on my album I believe this has shown why I started
my career.
6. Are there any famous artists you admire?
Yes, there are I admire many artists but I think the one that stands out to me is Drake. I feel that he is a lot of younger
peoples favourite artists and I feel that to me he is my inspiration, as one day I want to achieve what he has achieved. If
I were to get even a percentage of what he achieved I would be very thankful and blessed, but my aim is to be known
world wide for music and known as a public figure also.
21. Step-by-step summary
1. Firstly, I got my background colour and then placed it onto the blank canvas so that I could
have an outline of what I now need to put on the canvas. I put it in like this because I used
this layout and colours on my hand drawn drafts.
2. Secondly, I placed my main image onto the canvas but edited out all the background on the
original image to make sure it was just the artist that I'm focusing my magazine on.
3. Thirdly, I then put in my barcode which consisted of placing 1 of 3 barcodes which we could
choose from and then along with that I put in social media logos of other apps.
4. Once everything had been aligned and sorted, I then placed the magazines name on it
along with the side lines going across on top. Using my font I decided to use to put at the
top of the magazine.
5. I then placed side lines in the remaining spaces in the magazine and put them in bold to
make them stand out. I also placed in the main headline on top of the side lines to make it
stand out but also putting it into the biggest font to make sure everyone knows it’s the
main headline.
24. Conclusion
The reason for me choosing Mixer as my first magazine to publish is because I think
that firstly, it stands out to me more than Xtra. I feel that it will produce more sales
than Xtra as I think Mixer stands out and includes bold colours that will shout out to
someone saying “buy me”.
Overall, when comparing Mixer and Xtra I looked at what areas of the magazine stand
out most. When looking at features of Xtra I looked at the masthead and the puff
promotion which I felt stood out the most. Taking a look at Mixer, the masthead stood
out also the image and the cover lines that I chose. I then took it all into consideration
and selected Mixer as my final magazine. Due to the features that I have on Mixer and
I think it will stand out more to the audience.
