My Magazine



My Final Magazine in full chronological order. 

when creating my magazine i decided not to just make a cover, contents and a double page spread but try and make a few more features in my magazine. 

So i made a Front cover, Contents page, An album of the month, A page of tracks of the month, an advert, A double page spread linking to the front cover & a double page spread of photos like a poster page. 




when I was designing my front cover I decided to make it similar to many main magazines having an obvious headline, that stand out from the background also having a subline with the main headline in this case I have surrounded 'THE SHEIKS' with 'The best live band around at the moment' to give the reader some detail but also wanting more when looking at the front cover.







above is the contents page on the left, complete with an album review on the right. I felt like if I was creating a magazine, with a front cover, a contents page and a double page spread I wanted to give the magazine more context and character, even if it does count towards anything I feel like creating extra pages would make it look more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.






above is on the left is would be 'songs of the week/month' in any other magazines. I felt to add this would make my magazine look better. on the right is a simple advert for an album sale






above is my double page spread/interview. I decided to make this a plain and simple looking structured spread. on the left page is what would be considered a short biography about the story of the band and then an interview with each members answer for the question. the colour scheme for the whole magazine is represented  well on this page.
