Double page spread final design

Double page spread

For my first draft i tried to continue the colour scheme of black, white and brown, making sure that my page linked with my front cover.

Final Front cover

For my final design i decided to change the Main image, as it was blocking a large proportion of the Masthead and made it difficult to fit in the text appropriately. after doing this i felt that i had enough room to stretch the text out across the top of the cover, allowing the reader to see clearly what is being featured in the magazine.

Front Cover draft 3

in this draft i decided to use the same image again, and instead move the text around, filling up space on the magazine, making it look complete. i continued with the brown, black and white colour scheme, linking the colours with the clothing on the models. however i change the image of 'All time low' on the bottom left as i felt that the colour yellow displayed in the lat image, was to bold on the magazine and pulled your eyes away from the main feature of the magazine.

2nd draft of Front Cover

in my second draft, i created a whole new style for the magazine, changing the colour scheme and the main image. originally i used an image of a woman artist, as this was a photo i took in the practise shoot. however, since then i had been able to arrange a proper shoot, taking place with three models posing to be a band called 'Anarchy'. when in this photo shoot i struggled in sorting out an appropriate wardrobe choice for the models as i had limited supplies. this lead to to me having to change font styles, colour and layout to accommodate for the different colours included in the image. it also made it difficult to give the magazine the appropriate appearance for the chosen genre.
after creating this draft i also realised that i had left quite a few gaps around the image, leaving the magazine looking unfinished and incomplete. i also left the price off the magazine which would be an essential feature when developing a product. i feel that this draft isn't a great interpretation of an Indie Rock magazine and could use some improvements.

Final contents design

For my final draft of the contents page, i didnt change my design majorly. once again i kept the colour scheme of black and white and the same layout, however i decided to use the banner at the top to repeatedly say 'Contents Page'. i did this as i thought that it would resemble as police 'DO NOT CROSS' banner, something that would suit my genre of music, as it represents being rebellious and breaking rules.
