Front Cover Of My Rock Magazine

I have completed my front cover of my magazine, I have used an medium shot of my model who's wearing mostly black. Seeing as black is the typical convention of a rock artist as well as a rock magazine. I have taken advice from my market research by using the colours red, white and black. These colours signify 'rock' and they are seen as dark and dangerous colours. Also I have added the typical conventions of a rock magazine with the additional photo's, free things, artist's name, cover lines, main cover lines, superlatives, skyline, plug, masthead and main image. This allows my magazine to be presentable and suitable for my target audience who are teenagers aged 16-19.

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.
