Final Front Cover


This is my final front cover, as you can see I changed the cover image to one with a microphone to get across the fact it is a music magazine rather than a fashion magazine, and I altered the colour scheme also. 
I am happy with the result, and I am glad that I listen to the advice given, and changed the necessary features.

Final Contents Page


When I made this page, I wanted the background to be slightly different to the rest, so I could have a bit of variety with the backgrounds.
I chose a few different fonts that went well with each other also to give variety, and keep people interested. The important words are in bold or in a different font, like the word "Summer" for instance, as summer is something people love, and a lot of gigs and festivals are in the summer, so this would have an effect with my younger target audience, and would therefore be eyecatching.
I chose to add some other images as well as the main one, so that people could really get the feel of the genre with the lights and the crowd.
I like the main image, as my model is in a different position to the double page spread and front cover, which keeps the reader interested, and makes it look less repetitive.
I also added an online address at the bottom of the page, so that people can view the magazine online.
The images at the top of the page are royalty free images, and this is a link to the regulations regarding the images: http://www.sxc.hu/txt/license.html

Final Double Page Spread


This is the finished version of my double page spread, I made sure I carried on the house style with the colours blue, pink, black and yellow.
I wanted the image to be quite bold and although it is 1/3 of the page, it still isn't over shadowed by the text, as her foot makes the image extend to the next page.
I like the image for this, it is how I wanted it to look, and this page went all how I wanted it to go, without me having to adapt much to meet my audience needs.
