Final Draft Of Double Page Spread

Final Draft Of Double Page spread

This is my final version of my double page spread. Since my last draft, I have accomplished finishing the interview, and also making alterations to the layout of the full page, to allow it to look professional and neatly set out. I also changed the boldness of the pull quote on the left hand side, to allow it to stand out better. Overall, I do like my double page spread, and how it has turned out. I believe it represents the Hip-Hop female nature with the colours, text and images included.

Double Page Spread Draft

This is the current stage i am at with my double page spread. Since the last session, I only had a paragraph or so of text, I have now advanced to almost finishing the interview of my double page spread. I have tried to line the text so that it does look professional, however, my plan is to write my interview first, and then make final touches to this, so that it can be perfect. I also edited the pull quote that is next to the picture, so that it is closer to the eye-line of Cheyenne. Once I have completed the text, I may focus on more pull quotes, or to possibly add more smaller images to present my variety of material.

Double Page Spread - First Draft

This is my first draft of my double page spread. I have edited the image, to make it look more professional, and fitting to the genre. I have started to add content that suits the needs of a double page spread, like headlines, and an actual interview, along with pull quotes in different locations across the two pages. I really like the cooer scheme at the moment, as it looks professional but also fits the genre. To conclude, I certainly haven't made full changes, and I am still to add more content and features to the pages.

First Version Of My Contents Page

This is officially my first finalized draft for my contents page. Since the last attempt, I have finalized and added extra features, so that it ticks the boxes for a professional cover page. I have moved around some of the features like the number of the pages, and the titles that are above them. I also changed the brightness and contrast to experiment this option. I made sure that each piece of text included two lines of text so that the whole page looks even and nicely set out. The image still looks effective next to the text and supplies an example of one of the articles in the magazine. 

First Edit Of My Contents Page

This was my first attempt at a contents page. First I have tried to create a starting template or set out to keep all of the content for the page. At this stage, I have two boxes that I will keep the titles of pages and features from the magazine. I have placed my image so that the main profile faces the text,while still looking at the camera, in a way to connect the reader to the artist and the information on the page. I have tried to to add different forms of fonts and colours of texts to add variety to the page. I increased the brightness and contrast of the original image, so that it would match slightly with the effect of the front cover. I have used boxes to create signposted boxes, to add effect for the page, and within this, I have used colours that are suitable for the genre. However, this is only my first draft for my contents page, and there is still a lot of elements, aspects and features that I need to continue with or begin to create.

Second Version Of My Front Cover

This is my next draft of my front cover. I have tried to add various elements that allows the cover to look more like a traditional Hip-Hop cover. From some of my feedback, I decreased some of the features on the side, while also adding a banner at the top of the cover, as many examples of professional covers add this feature. I also positioned some of the text differently in an effort to make the cover look more dimensional, professional and nicely set out. The effect has stayed the same as before, and the colours used definitely represent the hip-hop nature and culture. Lastly, I did alter the size of the barcode, to allow more room for the content around the cover. 

First Version Of My Front Cover

This is my final, first version, of my music magazine. Since the last draft, I have included more conventions, to allow the cover to include information that is relevant to the genre, and to the inside content of the magazine. I have tried to keep to a colour scheme, as I have used the colours that were most voted for from my questionnaire shown in my planning. I believe, that from my cover, it is clear that it is a Hip-Hop based magazine, and I have used methods that a lot of other Hip-Hop magazines use on their own front covers, to allow mine to look professional. My main image is bold and fits with the design and layout of the cover, and also complements the colours used. I have also used different fonts, colours and sizes for the text to allow my cover to be effective and eye-catching. Overall, I really like my first version of my front cover, and believe it ticks all of the boxes for my genre, and for a front cover in general.

First Edit Of My Front Cover

This is as far as I have got on creating my music magazine front cover. So far, I have included some basic and essential features like my masthead. As said in my magazine proposal and other planning documents, I have decided to name my magazine 'BASS' as it links in with the music genre, and is quick and snappy to say. I have also added current Hip-Hop artists below this, to ensure that these artists will be included and featured within the magazine, as it allows a larger range of fans to be interested in the contents of the magazine. I have added my my main article name 'Chey is Unstoppable' as it relates to the main artist of the magazine, and also highlights importance of the artist and article through the larger and bolder font of the text. Lastly, I have added a barcode to add reality and professionalism to the magazine, in an effort to make the magazine look more believable. However, this isn't my finished product, and I still have a lot of aspects to add, to allow my front cover to be as fitting as possible for a Hip-Hop based print.
