Task 5: My idea’s of my magazine

By Rina Bansal

Front cover ideas:

•Here I like the idea of using a top header on the page. I may use this technique within my magazine, however maybe list names of music artists of the genre of the magazine (indie rock/p and RnB) I also like the idea of the main persona staring directly at the camera and a front view angle of the face; I will also do this on the front cover of my music magazine.

•Here I like the layout and the font style of the headlines. I may base the front cover of my music magazine on this particular cover as it looks professional and not too crowded for my liking. I will have a similar layout and similar font style on the front cover of my music magazine, however the image would not be in a similar style.

Contents page ideas:

•Overall, I like different things about each of these images of contents pages. However the main image that I plan to base my contents page on is image 2. •In my own music magazine, I plan to set the layout a similar way to the layout in image 2. However, in the margin, I plan to involve different sections which include information about music bands, singers and other artists as well as the no.1 music charts. I will also plan to use a similar colour scheme to image 2, which is a scheme of white, blue, black. But I will also add a grey colour to the pallet as it would then be consistent throughout the magazine.•By carrying out these ideas, I hope it will result in a professional and subtle contents page which matches with the front cover.

Double-page spread ideas: Image 1 Image 2

•Here are the 2 main images that I plan to base my double-page spread on in my music magazine. However I plan to base the page on image 1 more than image 2. •I plan to use a similar layout and style in image 1 as I think it goes with the theme of the whole magazine. I like the idea of the stripes that cut across both pages and separate the pictures from the images, my idea is to use this style but also at the top of the page, and a maximum of 3 stripes only so then it does not take too much space. I also like the style of the images. My idea is to use the same technique, however have a maximum of 4 images and have them slightly slanted and place the larger image in a different place. I then plan to set the short article of the page under the 3 stripes, in the middle of the page, and spread across both pages. •I think by doing this, it will look professional and will go well with the theme of the magazine, as this page will also have a colour scheme of grey, white and blue.
