Social network

On my front cover i have added my magazines instagram and twitter on the cover, as the audience i am targeting is the generation that mostly spend their time on social media and the internet.

I got these two icons off the internet then used the magic wand tool on photoshop to remove the backgrounds.

Magazine masthead

My magazine is called billboard, after the billboard charts. I thought this was appropriate because these charts only have the genres of rap and hip-hop, and that is essentially what my magazine will be about.
The colour of my masthead as shown is red, it is red because its a bright stand out colour and also is the colour of passion/love and danger which is what these genres of hip-hop and rap can be associated with.

As you can see here these are the effects I've used to get my masthead this way.

Music magazine double page spread

Here is the initial picture I took of my feature artist to go on one side of my double page spread as I decided to do a an interview. 

I put this image in word, cropped it and added a filter. Then I put it on a page alsong side my double page spread as shown here. 

I also added an interview which will go on the right side of my double page spread. 

Here is my finished double page spread

Music magazine contents

Here is my contents page. As you can see it's quite plain as i didn't want to overdo it as it is only a contents page. I made the word contents big and bold as that's how I've seen it throughout my research. I added a picture of my feature artist to continue the theme. 

As I wanted my numbers of pages in the same line and layout I done them on a seperate page as shown here. 

I got some feedback from my teachers and changed my contents. As you can see here the image and text is a lot bigger. There is also a website and an issue number for the magazine itself. There is also a quote said by the person the image is of as I found this can be quite effective when used throughout my research. 

As you can see here my feature artist is faced towards my contents text which will also draw across the reader/audience.

Music magazine front cover

Here is the front cover of my music magazine. I have slightly changed it round to ensure everything fits. I have made my masthead bigger and moved my barcode down to yhe bottom right of the page. I moved my straplines to the bottom right side of the page and my image to the left side. Ive also added social media username for my magazine where my audience can go follow the magazine and get updates on the upcoming issues.
