THE CREATION OF MY MAGAZINE

I used publisher for the front cover and the contents page, by suing the same fonts for both and the same colours it makes them connect and people can decode that there by the same magazine. I took influence from NME magazine for my front cover and Q magazine for contents page.

By using different shapes and effects on publisher I was able to create a good start to what I wanted my magazine to look like.

I started with a women on my two page spread in a black and white effect. I saw this being used in the rolling stone magazine and thought I could use it for my magazine. After manipulating the picture and using publisher to create the two page spread I showed it to people, their feedback was positive however they did say they didn’t think it fit in with the genre of indie/alternative rock.

So I decided to follow my original first draft designs. I used a male on the two page spread and put a union jack behind using Photoshop. I changed the text to make it look

more edgy and rocky and put it across the picture as seen in other music magazines. As well as this I kept the pull quote put took away the background to it.
