drafting and planning

i have been using a software called page plus, which allows you to use a variety of backgrounds and do rough versions and final versions of whatever your creating. in my case it was a contents page as shown above. The font colour of the word 'contents' which have some link with an item of clothing the artist is wearing. In the above the colour matches the jumper. Also the font of the different topics is in black which links to the trousers the artists is wearing. these colours connote a female attitude as the colour pink is feminine. The colour black on the positive side connotes power, elegance and formality. however on the negative side can connote death, evil and mystery.

The first image will be inspiring my double page spread, however my double page spread will have more text lapping the image. The clothing with be very similar, bright and lively colours to represent the artists personality. the facial expression will be looking direct to the camera. The second image is a rough idea of how i am going to present my contents page. This is with the artists to the side of the page with the information of the pages and topics along the side of her.on both of these pages my artists will be more clothed, however on my front page of my music magazine my artist will be wearing less clothing to make her look revealing and confident.

My artist will be present on one side of my double page spread, similar to the beyonce double page spread, which is presented above. The idea of having my artist cover a whole page is inspired by the above. This makes the double page more eye appealing and will influence the younger generation to read the magazine. Unlike the above page, my double page will have writing blended in with the image of my artist. Also similar colours to above will be used when i make my final product, for example white will definitely be used which connotes purity. The pink connotes feminity and a girly personality but contrasts with the title of 'fiercely' because this clashes with the sweet girly theme. However this makes the magazine unusual. the facial expression will influence in my artist as they eye contact is direct to the camera, which also helps catch the eyes of the reader.

Target Audience

This is a summary graph of a couple of the questions i created in a survey which i thought was relevant to the target audience of my music magazine. By looking at the graphs i can see the main age who filled out the survey where ages 16 to 20. This is the main generation who are more into music rather than the older generation. Also the different genre's of music were all as popular as each other. This gives me a selection of genre's to choose from however i would like my artist to be r&b/pop. This is the most popular genre of music of the 16-20 generation.  Also the average price someone will pay for a magazine is 1.10+ this makes me have an idea of selling my magazine for around £1.65. This survey website can help me when designing my final magazine as it gives me a clear view of what to include in my magazine to achieve the target audience i am aiming for.

drafting and planning

my contents page will consist of a bold heading to indicate to the reader it is the contents page. Also present on the side will be a fairly large image of my r&b/ pop artist. Next to the image is different titles of the different pages within the magazine.

Drafting and Planning

This is my plan:

if i follow the above, my magazine will be successful.
