Double page spread one

Double page spread draft one

This is the first draft for the double paged spread. I really like this. The thing that I most like about this is the title mainly because of the composition of the boxes e.g. the part with the name is at a slant. I also like that again it's all in different sections. The onlt thing that I am worried about is that there is too many images and maybe it will look a little too overcrowded. Therefore, in my next one I am going to use less images and make it a lot simpler to see what that turns out like.

Contents draft 2

My second contents draft
This is my second and most favourite of the two contents drafts.
I like this so much because I thin that when all the writing and colours and images are in, it will look really eye catching. I also think that this one looks a lot more professional and most like a magazine contents page.
I really like how I have added an editorial to it, this is to persuade the reader to buy the magazine and to tell the reader what the magazine contains.
I also love how I have only one image as it doesn't make it look too overcrowded.
I have also tried splitting this one into three collumns instead of two and I thin that it works really well.
Lastly, I have put a box at the bottom saying "Subscribe now!" I have put ths also to make it look more professional as all magazines contain this somewhere within there magazine.

contents page draft

Contents draft
This Is my contents page, I like how I have layed this out. I really like how I layed this out as I put it in two columns, this makes it looks more professional and not over crowded, I also like how I've 0only added in two images, this will make it seem less over crowded however if the colours aren't used right it might make it look a bit too plain and boring.
I have also added an editorial in this, I think that an editorial is vital for a magazine as it tells you what you are about to read about, tells you reasons to buy it and also greets the reader. In my personal opinion I think that it's just like a blurb but for a magazine.

Title colours!

II have chosen "Tune up!" as my title and this font as my font. I chose this font as I feel that its simple yet effective and the X in the P gives it a rocky feel and so does the diagonal !.
With this title I have chosen a range of colours and added them to the title, my favourite one is probably the first yellow with the black background. The black background helps the yellow to stand out  and gives it a great effect, even though you wouldn't associate yellow with rock I think that this does work.
The one I dislike the most is probably the black on red as I feel its way too "pop" like, If I were to do a pop magazine I think that it would work.

The colour of the font and background has to look good with the pictures, so I think that I am going to wait until I have done the photo shoot to pick my final idea.

Please tell me which one you prefer and how I could improve!!!! :)

Colour annalysis

This is a colour wheel. My magazine is going to be a "rock" magazine so I am going to need darkish bold colours to link in with the theme.
I think that the colours that might work on here are the red and green as they are darkish colours, I also feel that the purple and yellow might work even though the yellow is a bright colour, but I will try and see if it works before I determine which my chosen colours are. The main reason that I think these colours will work together is mainly because they are complimentary to each other and I don't want any clashing colours such as purple and green together, however there is a possibility that it will work, but I think that it would work a lot better in a punk themed magazine.
I also think that I am going to add in black to also give it that rock feel, and I think if I did use black the font would need to be a lighter colour like white, The colors that I feel would go together well are purple and black/ black and white/ black and red or black and yellow.

If you have any Ideas please comment!!!!!! :)

Font annalysis

These are some ideas for my title on my music magazine. The title I chose to do it "Tune up!" I think that this works well as it sounds professional and its also musicy and I think will attract teenagers to read it.

1. I really like this one as I feel it looks like it's meant to be put on a music magazine but I feel that it looks a little to punk.

2. The next one is a little to plain and simple, however I feel that the simplicity adds to the effect and makes it look very effective.

3. I really like this next one, the main reason that I like this is because its different I really like how it has a background as it makes the font stand out. The only thing I don't like about this one is the star on the end, so if I were to use this I would cut That part out.

4.Again, I like this one because the background makes it stand out and makes it look that little more interesting.

5.This next one Is one of my least favorite as I feel its way too boring, I could maybe make it a lot more attractive by maybe adding in colour instead of just having it black and white.

6.This is another of my favorites as I really like the style of the font, however I feel that it doesn't go with the music theme and it's more army themed so I don't really think that it will work.

7.I like this next one too, I think that this would look very effective on the magazine, I also think that it looks the most professional.

8.This is a disturbed type font, this is one I don't really like as once again It looks too much like punk, and that isn't my magazine theme.

9.This one is simple but I think its very effective and also looks very professional. My favorite parts of this is the cross in the P and the wonky !

10. I also really like this last one, but somehow I don't feel that it goes with the music magazine theme, I really like all the curves as they compliment the sharp edges nicely.

With these fonts I am going to experiment and add in more colours, but I feel they work really well just in black and white.

Please send in a comment and tell me which ones you like and if you have any colour ideas!!!!!!!

Thank you :)

Front page design Idea 2

Front page design Idea 2
This is the second Idea for my front page, I think that I prefer this t the other one as I feel that the other was a little boring and too plain. I really like how I put the main image as the whole page as it will make it stand out and make it look very vibrant. I also like how I haven't added loads of images because If I did I feel that it would make it look a lot better and not too over crowded. I have also added in a caption for each image to tell people what  is inside the mgazine, and to persuade people to buy it. I think that im going to have to have very appealing images.

Please tell me which ones you think work best and how I could improve
