IDEAS AND PLANNING OF HOW MY FRONT COVER,

CONTENTS PAGE AND DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD WILL

LOOK

This is some planning of some typical conventions which I will include in my front cover, contents page and double page spread

These are some idea’s of what I will call my music magazine. So far, I have decided to either use breakout or vinyl.

FRONT COVER SKETCH 1- this is one idea how I can lay out my front cover of my magazine. The image being in the centre of the cover will grab the audiences attention alongside with the use of colours and other conventions such as alliteration, sell lines and freebies.

FRONT COVER SKETCH 2- This is another sketch of how I can lay out my magazine. I think this layout is more organised and looks neater compared to the first one. Again, I will use many conventions such as website address, freebies, puff and a barcode.

CONTENTS PAGE SKETCH 1- This sketch is organised containing quite a lot of information which might interest the reader. Using more than one image might allow me to target with my target audience which are teenagers who prefer visual things rather than text.

CONTENTS PAGE SKETCH 2- In this sketch I have tried to balance out the images with the information so there is equal amounts of each. This would be good for my magazine because it would have an editors review which may interest the reader even more.

CONTENTS PAGE SKETCH 3- This sketch is laid out well with many conventions such as features, images, date. The main image in near the centre of the page which can grab the audiences attention towards this.

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD SKETCH 1- This double page is well organised and has many images which can interest the audience into reading more. There is a typical convention which I will use; the floating quote which can get the reader thinking. On the left of the main image is other information which can interest the reader into other things aswell as the main article.

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD SKETCH 2- This sketch is similar to the previous one however here the image is on the left and split with all the information on the right. This focuses on the main image which may appeal to the target audience.
