FRONT COVER FLAT PLAN
Annotation of Front Cover Flatplan NOTE: Unfortunately Scribd has compressed my notes about the skyline slightly so here is what it says: A convention often used to feature artist - stands out easily as it becomes a seperate part of the cover. I plan to use the skyline for my slogan.
FRONT PAGE ANALYIS
Before creating our own front cover, we studied different types of front pages such as Q and Vibe. Their use of conventions are different to their own to suit their target audience and genre of music. We also discussed the general conventions most magazine companies use on their front covers such as a central image, masthead, barcodes, busswords, lures and headings.Saturday 4 December 2010
CONTENTS PAGE PHOTOGRAPHY

This powerpoint presentation shows you some of the photos I used to create the contents page

CONTENTS PAGE FLAT PLAN
When I approached the stage to actually design and create the contents page, I decided to make some changes in the layout fittingly so everything would fit and look good. Now, the text/information is on the right and the main image has been split into four large images. I believe with those two changes, the contents page look more attractive than planned.
POWER POINT PRESENTATION - FEATURES PAGE PITCH
Features page
After presenting my powerpoint to my class, I asked my fellow students to give me their opinion of it. I created a table of results on Microsoft Word and then uploaded online.

PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION
Today, I went to take some photographs that may be useful for my music magazine features page.
Later, we experimented with colour lighting with purple and red, following the house colours.

PHOTOGRAPHS EDITED
After taking the photographs, I went on the computer and used the software Adobe Photoshop to edit the photos. Below are some examples and I am pleased with many of them. I hope I may use some of them in my music magazine at one point.
FEATURES PAGE FLATPLAN
However, because of implications of the choice of photo (and because of the pose not suitable for the above flatplan), the amount of text to be placed on the features page, I changed the features page slightly. I decided to stay with the most conventional layout with image on the left and text on the right design.

FEATURES PAGE MINDMAP
Please click on image to enlarge
I plan to create my brand identity with my house colours of purple and red, and my masthead logo which will appear on the folio as well as the front cover. I will also be using a majority of sans-serif typefaces with only a few exceptions for serif fonts.
