school magazine

I firsty analised two magazine covers to know what music magazine covers include.


By analysing these products i know know what needs to be on music magazines, what layout they should be and how to present them correctly.

I completed my school magazine.
 

 
Even though my magazine cover includes everything a magazine cover should, i think there are multiple things i could do to improve this product, for example i could change the typography to make it look more creative instead of standard. I would also adjust the image so that the face of main image is over the top of the text, this will make the image the main attraction instead of all the text.

I also created my content page:


 
I think this page looks empty and to spacious, to make this product look more like a magazine content page i could include more images and infomation. To improve this product i would also change my use of colour as i think it makes the product look quite childish. I would also vary my typography as the text i have used is simple.

Initial research into current music magazines.

I research music magazine covers and annotated one to expand my knowledge of this product.

 
Doing this research and being able to pick out sections which are vital on a music magazine cover i will be able to adjust my own and make it look more professional.
 
I researched contect pages throughout the music industry and annotated one to understand the product more.
 
This will help me with the layout of my content page.
 
I then researched and annoted a double page spread from a music magazine.
 

This allows me to know how to lay my double page spread out, what to include and what size to have them.
