Complete Magazine

These are the three finished pages from my magazine. I am very happy with these, and believe they will be good enough for my final pieces. I think that they all have good reoccurring themes, and they make my magazine recognisable. This, with what I believe to be good content with the pictures and article, would make my magazine successful if it were to be sold in shops.

Finished Front Cover

This is the final stage for my front cover. I have added a lot of examples of ways magazine editors make their magazines more interesting. For example, box outs, different fonts and listed features. I feel that this front cover has a lot going on, but that just makes it more interesting, rather than garish. I believe that this is very much good enough to be finished and go with my other two finished pages.

Final Contents Page

This is the final version of my contents page. It has an editors note and picture, regular and special features, and ongoing themes. The background picture works well, and the quote fits the feel. I think the style makes everything easy to read, but not boring. I have used various examples of ways magazines will make things more interesting, for example, quotes, overlapping text and an editors note.

Finished Double Page Spread

This is my final double page spread. I feel that this will be good, as It is eye-catching, and interesting, but not too garish. It has a good balance of text and photos, and colours. It has the occurring theme of red and the lines around the edge, and the texts are familiar to what is used in the other two pages.

Front Cover Stage 5

This is the fifth stage of construction for my front cover design. I have added a banner going diagonally across the page. I have added a few examples from other magazines similar to my style and I will make similar features. I need to add a bit of text under the Art Of The Anarchists title, and I need to change the font beside it.

Front Cover Stage 4

This is the 4th stage of construction for my music magazine. I have raised the image, so on the shelf you will be able to see who is on the front. I have added more text and improved where it goes, so the image is still the focal point. I finally added another photo at the top, of another featured article. I need to improve this still, but I think it is coming along well.

Front Cover Stage 3

At this stage in construction for my music magazine, I decided to totally redo it. I thought the purple was to garish and there was no image of a face, ad therefore no relation to who the artist was, or why you should feel the need to read about them. I decided to follow the same basic layout; title at the top behind image, double page spread feature advertised at the top and text box outs at the sides, but changed the image to something that suited the consistent theme of black white and red. I chose a photo from the first shoot, and made it black and white. I feel this is already better, but still needs more work to get it where I want it to be.
