Inspiration for my contents page



What idea i liked from this contents page is that the layout really enthasises the image of the artist in the main feature, showing a big connection. they make each section very clear for the reader to see and understand. i also like the consistant colour scheme through the contents page.

In this contents page i used the  idea of big numering for the pages and seperating them from the text beside it , this almost make the page numbers more noticable and easy to find. The subheading are useful as they show different sections within in the whole mag, but group then with content in the mag that are sumilar ir relating to the same issues/things.


From this contents page i adapted the technique of  croping the images to fit inbetween aand around the text, this shows different dynamics of the muic magazine, and shows the audience a sneek-peak of what they will be seeing in a specific article. the colour scheme used was also very eye catching as i felt the colours used were very coherant to eachother and when all colaged as one , it really make the acticles jump of the page and look more vibrant and fruitful, this i feel successfully grabs the readers attention.

FLAT PLAN OF MAG

[image]


For my front page i decided to higlight my main image, which was coherant with my main feature article in the mag, this imediately gave me a clear structure of framework for my front cover. I also added each feature of my mag e.g. interview , exclusives and ect.

for my contents page i deside the layout should be more indetailed and well designed, as if it had lacked this it could become difficult to understand. Therefore i took into acount of the spacing, colouring,  text style and font size into account, so it showed a sign of concistancy in patern but also mode of address.

for my main feature i interpeted in to my own, the technique of main quotes, in centre pages throughy my feature article. during the iunterview i woul elborate on the artist points by highlighting them in 'main quotes' in an amoungst the text. i also used main imagery to capture the reader eye, however making a point/ refering to the topic using the image.

Planning For Publication

Today in lesson we discussed analysis of music magzine front cover and how itz applys it design techiniques, colours schemes and mode of address, to suit its target audience.

This was neccesary to help use with the planning for our music magazine as, we needed to know ways in which to attract the audience wanted for our publication.




^^^^^    ^^^^    ^^^^^
This is plan for my media publication

In this task we used a mind map to plan idea about my own media product. this included what style genre my publication would be taking

                                   Mood map



Then using the ideas we gained for our own media publication we made mood board, a visual representation of our target audience for our music magazine publication. Containning pictures of  items, accesories and music icons that my targeted market audience would be interested in.
