music magazine finished.

This is my finished front cover for my music magazine which i produced on software called Photo shop. i am really pleased with what i have made and i think it does look very professional because it has a lot of the conventions you find in magazines such as a main image, cover lines and puffs. i like the colour scheme which i have used on the front page and also the fonts are quite effective in making parts of the magazine stand out, for example 'REAL ROYALTY' and 'E X C L U S I V E'. The layout which i have used is also quite effective in making certain parts stand out. i have a box at the bottom of the front cover showing the most exclusive news in the magazine which could entice people to buy it. There is also a list of artists who have released new singles on the right hand side of the page which will make people want to buy the magazine if they like the artists which i have listed. There is a quote from another established music magazine which talks about the band on the front cover showing they are good as it says ' Best newcomers to the music industry' which is quite an achievement for these 4 guys.

This is my contents page for my music magazine and i am pleased with what i have made. The background of the magazine is working very effectively in making things stand out on the magazine and looks better then having the background just plain white as that is quite boring and would make the magazine look too plain. The layout of this contents page looks professional and has worked very well with the 2 small images at the bottom right, one small image in the top right and a larger image middle right. All these images have numbers which relate to the article to which they are numbered at. The colour scheme is similar to the front page and also works very well on this page. The fonts are clear and stand out when i want them to stand out e.g. the title 'REAL ROYALTY' is in gold to draw attention to it first instead of anything else also people relate the colour gold to the royal family which gives it a bit extra meaning. i have added effects to the pictures to help them blend in with the magazine so it looks more professional which is what i am aiming to make it. There is a features column and regulars column showing the content of the magazine.

This is my double page spread for my music magazine and is personally my favourite piece out of the front cover, contents page and this as i think it looks the most professional and i can't really find anything on it that i would change which shows i have done a good job in what i have made. The first page has 2 pictures on it, one of the whole team who work in making The Entity what it is becoming and one of the actual groups members, both of these pictures have effects on them which helps them to blend in to the background. There are lots of articles on this page which are all about The Entity and how they became a group, how to find them on Facebook,YouTube and also an article of questions which have been answered by the whole group. The second page of this double page spread has a picture of the band member who created the band 'Jack'with large font saying 'THE REASON FOR THE ENTITY' which i think looks very effective with the effects which i have put around it to make it stand out and not look plain.
