Masthead

This is my masthead for my front cover of my magazine, it is only a draft, I will edit it more when I create my rock magazine. The colours I’ve used is mostly red, white and black. These are typical colours of a rock magazine, and these are also the colours that was favoured in my questionnaire, so I listened to my market research. Also I the ‘R’ is in a different font and colour than the rest, I wanted it to stand out more because ‘R’ stands for the genre ‘Rock’ and the red symbolizes the lifestyle of rock artists and it also makes the font bold. The colour red also symbolizes danger, blood and this symbolizes the band I will be featuring. These are the colours I will use for my front cover, double page spread as well as the contents page. This masthead would catch the readers attention because its unique and different then any other masthead and its bold as well.

Flat Plans(Double Page Spread and Contents Page)

 

This are my flat plans for my double page spread, they both aren’t very detailed enough and also the colour scheme isn't shown. However the colours I will use for my double page spread would be black&red because that signifies the article I will be writing about as well as the theme ‘rock and roll’. I have been inspired by Kerrang’s layout for their double page spread’s they have published, by using additional photo’s beside the main image which will dominate the double page spread. Also I will be adding ‘news’ which will give a brief description about the band who is featured as well as the name in bold at the top right of the double page spread.

I have chosen to go with NME recent layout with several pictures on the page, I will also add brief description on what the article is about below each and every picture. I’m also going to add subscriptions for my magazine, showing the price and the discount which will be shown weekly. I have also chosen the sub heading to be ‘This weekly’ for the contents page, so that the readers will know this magazine is published weekly. Also the colour scheme for the contents page will be black&yellow which also relates to the theme.

Images to be used for Front Cover/Double Page Spread/Contents Page(Part1)(Not Edited Yet)

    

Having taken, several images to be used for my production, I haven’t still quite chosen a photo, however I have scheduled another photo shoot, and this one will have different models so I will be able to have a variety of different photo’s. I still have to edit my photo’s so it would be presentable for my magazine/contents page and double page spread.
