AS Coursework: Contets Page

This is my music magazine contents page with my improvement corrections added, some of the improvements that I have made include:
  • I have chosen a more vibrant fitting colour to my music genre, than the one that I had previously chosen, the bright pink that I have selected also ties in with my front cover and double page spread, showing consistency throughout my coursework. This colour also contrasts with the bright blue that i have also chosen to highlight the key categories.
  • I have also added a second model: Katy Alcock, and had small thumbnail size photographs in a film reel at the bottom of the contents page,  placed it here as to not draw attention away from the main feature article but add further enticement for my target market.
  • I have also added a new article to make the contents page look large; therefore making the target audience see there is more in the magazine than just a few select articles.

AS Coursework: Doublepage Spread



This is my music magazine double page spread with my improvement corrections added, some of the improvements that I have made include:
  • I have improved the layout of the article, including a large pink, the same pink that i have used on both front cover and contents page, there fore my target audience will be able to allocate the start of the articles unlike on my previous attempt where it wasn’t as obvious where the article started.
  • I have improved the picture quality, as this will add to the visual appeal of my magazine.
  • I have changed the colour of the questions in the articles asked by 'Earcandy', to the same pink as the giant A, the masthead and articles on my front cover and articles on my contents page. This adds both consistency and contrast, by having the font contrasting its background it will stand out significantly more than the previous colour that I had used.

AS Coursework: Front Cover


This is my final front cover, after my improvement corrections have been added. Some of the things that I have changed from my first attempt at my music magazine front cover:
  •  The colour of my masthead, I have changed lilac colour which compliments the models eyes and matches their makeup and jewellery to a brighter more attractive colour: Pink. This colour is significantly more vibrant and eye catching than the one I had previously chosen.
  • Added more articles than my previous attempt, this has made my front cover more conventional and gives my target market more of an insight to what’s featured in my magazine.
  • The more important articles on my front cover have been allocated the bright pink font; this will allow my target audience to see which the most favourable articles are.
  • The articles are framing my models image instead of making her the main feature like in my previouse attempt, complimenting my models facial structure and pose.

AS Coursework: Final Contents Page

This is my final music magazine contents page. There are two groups on this contents page, one group lists the items that are on the front cover of the magazine, the other column lists the articles which are within the magazine. There are 5 different images of Amy on this page, 3 of which are located in a film strip. I have faded the word contents and placed it through out the background, it is in the same stile the main one in the top right hand corner is

AS Coursework: Final Front Cover

This is my final music magazine front cover. The model that I have used is Amy Jones. My front cover contains: a headline, articles, barcode and pugs. The articles that I think will attract my target market are either bolder or larger than the others, or coloured in the same colour as the masthead. I have placed the barcode on the front of my magazine as many magazines do this to leave space for an advertisement on the following page.

The article has 3 columns to enable easy reading; also the 'Amy jo' at the bottom is in a font called 'Simply Glamorous' which makes it look like her signature.
