Price

When thinking of the price of this magazine I looked at magzines with a simmilar music genre and their quality, then looked at the price, I decided that judging by the amount of pages in the magazine and the style of it, that £2:00 was around the average price, when asking people in a survey what price they would buy this magazine at, the answers ranged from £1:50 to £3:50 so I believe that £2:00 is the correct average price.

first draft double page spread...

After working on my first draft and recieving constructive critiscm for it, I have decided to make a few changes. Such as, I am going to make sure the black box doesnt not split the page half and half as it makes the page look to seperate, I have also decided to icnlude more of the polaroid styled photos crossing over onto the other halfof the page, to give at a more comlpete look.

First draft contents page...

This is my first detailed draft of my contents page, after peer feedback I have decided to include more images at the bottom of the page, to create a more full look.

Second draft front cover...

This is my second draft front cover for my music magazine. Shortly after completing this I decided that the font for "The girl behind the lyreics" did not match the style of my magazine as well as this the title did not link to the double page spread or give any information on what the article will be about.
I have also decided to include some more sub stories.

My Photo's

 I like this photo, but it is not close enough and there is to much background. 

  This photo is a bit to close up, however the eye contact is good because it makes it look like she is looking straight at the buyer. 

  This photo is to, to one side. 

 This photo needs more light as we cannot see her face, but would be good for a double page spread, if it was lightened. 

I took some of my photos by the Piano to create the immediate link to music, so people knew it was music magazine, I have decided i will use some of these photos on my double page spread.

My final photo

This was my final choice of Photo before edit, I edited this photo to make the colours stronger and for it to look more alternative, I wanted my model to stand out and really grab people's attention.

masthead looks

I stuck with the two colours red and black for my masthead, as they are typical colours of music magazine both Q and NME use these colours for their mastheads.
