Visual Comparisons Between My Magazine Pages & Inspirations

                     


                             

 
       

My Inspirations for my Front Cover, Contents Page & Double-Page spread


This was my inspiration for my front cover of my magazine, I used the same house style of the colours Red, White & Black as this front cover however I feel this is more an attractive magazine front cover compared to mine. I used no codes and conventions such as cover lines and buzz words as I felt that the image on my front cover was more important and so should be made more clear.

This was my inspiration for my contents page, I used the same layout as this for my contents page. I did this because it was easy to make and it didn't have too much on the page so it was appealing to the audience.

This was my inspiration for my Double Page spread, I used the same layout with the left side of the page covered with an image and the right side covered with text. However my Double-Page spread's right side looks very different to my inspirations but it follows some similar patterns with columns and a quote from the text.

The making of my music magazine

I created my magazine on Adobe Photoshop. I did this because I am quite acquainted with the software and I felt my magazine would have looked better than using the other software that some of my classmates did, Adobe InDesign. There are negatives however to using Photoshop as the layout isn't as perfectly aligned as on InDesign but in Photoshop, images can be edited to look clearer.

My Target Audience

People that would read my magazine would listen to the Indie Rock genre of music, this genre includes acts such as The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys and Oasis. They would also listen to older artists such as The Jam, The Rolling Stones and The Stone Roses.
