Double Page Spread Draft 1

This is the first completed draft of my magazine double page spread. It contains all the features of a conventional music magazine double page spread: photograph, article, pulled out quote, title, page numbers.

When i asked people in my class for feedback, they said: the photograph isn't very effective as it is on a block background, the circles are effective because they are the same as the circles on the contents page and front cover, the pulled out quote is effective.

Double Page Spread Draft 2

This is the second draft of my magazine double page spread. I decided to make some changes based on the feedback that people gave me. I changed the photo and no longer have a block background, i moved the circles around so that they circle the photogarph and are not all placed on one side of the photograph.

Contents Page Draft 1

This is the first completed draft of my magazine contents page. It contains all the features of a conventional music magazine contents page: letter from the editor, photograph, article names and article page numbers, a small photograph of the front cover.

When i asked people in my class for feedback, they said:

The text at the bottom of the page is a very similar colour to the the colour of the clothing on the photograph which makes it difficult to read, it is difficult to know which sections of the contents belong to which sections as they are not placed in boxes, the 'contents page' section is efefctive as it is the same as the masthead on the front cover.

Existing Music Magazine Contents Page Analysis - Billboard Magazine

This is the contents page for an issue of Billboard magazine. Billboard magazine is a music magazine that targets a similar audince as my magazine does.

The page is clearly set out into sections for the different types of article, there is also a collum on the left side of the page with a separate section which contains the music charts at the time the magazine is released. The page has four photographs from different pages of the magazine, this is effective as the reader can look at one of the photographs and immedietly know which page the corresponding article is on.

Front Cover Draft 1

This is the first completed draft of my magazine front cover. It contains all the features of a conventional music magazine front cover: photograph, splash, masthead, pugs, date, price, barcode.

When i asked people in my class for feedback, they said:

The background shouldn't be a block colour as it isn't very effective, the masthead is effective, the pugs and the splash fit nicely around the photograph.
