Why I used pictures analysis

I used this Image for the front page since it gives a medium close up on the band. The picture also shows the band united. I turned the picture into a close up however since I didn't know how to turn off the date on the pictures so the end result is a picture which is bigger than anticipated. Practically the picture has space around the outskirts that I used to place things that would normally go on a front cover.

I used this image for the double page spread. I used it since it originally had space around the outside but because of the date issue the image had to be expanded which actually worked out for the best removing most of the footpath in the background. The picture also gave me lots of space around the edges to put the text. Unconventionally I have used a high angle shot. The shot puts space between the band members and shows more dominance since it is a long shot. The idea of the shot was that a God *higher angle* was looking down on them as his underlings. Beleive me hanging on the edge of rock with a steep drop infront of you certainly makes you feel like a god.

Music Magazine: Double Page Draft 3

This is my third draft for my double page spread. Having realized that my background image could be stretched with out losing quality. I reinserted the image to its original format. I have also removed the green which was a little too bright according to my peers. Instead I have hallowed out grey boxes which show the text perfectly and still blend in nicely. I have also added an inspirational quote which is much better than the older quote.

Music Magazine: Double Page Draft 2

This is my second draft for the double page spread. From the previous version I have removed the box which isolated the text. Instead I have given the text a green outline. This relates to the album name OverGrown and the theme of overgrown plant life. I will probably make some further adjustments to this double page after asking my peers.

Music Magazine: Contents Page Draft 3

For my third contents page draft I have replaced the grey background with a colour that fits with my scheme the dark green. I have also placed a kicker in the centre of the page this draws attension and has the word Free which always gets attension.

Music Magazine: Contents Page Draft 2

For my second draft of the contents page I have placed the cover of the magazine in the top corner of the page since it offers a reference of the magazine the audience are reading. I have also changed the font to that of the headline to keep the magazine consistant. I have also added a film strip device at the bottom of the page. It is used to show the headlined act in the issue of the magazine in this case the three members of Lucidity

Music Magazine: Magazine Cover Draft 4

This is my fourth draft although it has been some time in the making. I have altered the main font to what I and my peers believe is a excellent replacement. I have also added a barcode and a magazine publication brand. Future plublication is a huge producer for many media magazines including Metal Hammer, Classic Rock and Offical Xbox Magazine.

Music Magazine: Contents Page Draft 1

This is my first draft for my contents page. I have included many features found in Metal Hammer magazine. The pictures have a massive number showing the headlining numbers. The use of the cover page as well shows continuity.

Music Magazine: Double Page Draft 1

This is my first draft for my Double page spread. I have loosely based it on Metal Hammer Magazine. I will now ask my peer what they like about it and what I could improve.

Music Magazine: Double Page Aspiration

This is what I would like my double page to look something similar to. It has a great layout and the fonts do not clash. The image is also the dominating feature which is important. There is also a segment of text that is highlight more than the rest of the page. I will attempt to base my magazine around this spread.
