"that it is a magazine that catches your eye and demands you to touch it and read it."

"r'n'b, the artists on the front page are popular r'n'b artists."
"r'n'b, because you can tell by the style of magazine."
"r'n'b, as the main story is about the new lady of r'n'b which gives it away."

5. does the contents page simply inform or does it also manage to interest you in reading the rest of the magazine?

"it informs but it also interests me to read on as the photos make it look interesting."

"the interview sounds really realistic and in my opinion the journalism is good. i would definatly but this magazine i wanted to read more."
"yes, humorous and informative!"
"yes it sounds like a piece of jouralism as the article seems very professional."
"it definately sounds like jouralism, purely because it advertises the new artist really well."
"the interview is realistic and grabs your attention straight away.


7. does the article layout make you want to read it? if not why not?


"it makes me want to read on because the layout makes it look like there is so much to read and find out."
"the layout is modern and grabs your attention when you look at it."
"yes it does because the quotes make me want to find out what she is going on about."
"yes because of the large photo on the right, the article looks minimal and easy to read."
"yes, the layout is good, fresh, modern and up to date with those magazines you seen on the shelf everyday."

final front cover

this is the final front cover for my music magazine. i have included more subheadings so it can convince my target audience to purchase my magazine as there is alot included inside. the image i have used is the artist of the feature article (modeled by my sister) and i have put the image into the black and white effect because then the writing on the page can be seen clearly and will stand out better. i have used two different fonts for the page which are Zapfino and BlairMdICT TT but i have mostly used BlairMdICT TT because this is my favourite font as it stands out really good and is really clear.

final contents page

this is the final of the contents page of my music magazine. i have now included a contents of some of the music and features which are included inside my magazine and i have shown what music and feature is on which page. the images i have used have been taken by myself and i have numbered the images to show the reader what page they can find each artist on.

final feature article

this here is the final double page spread of my music magazine. as you can see i have completed my feature article which includes a brief introduction about the artist and then a interview between the magazine and the artist. i have included the nickname "T" for touch (the magazine) and "J" for the artist to show the reader who is saying what in the article. i have made a change of colours on the pages as my colour theme has changed, so now i have used a pale pink for the title and again used pale pink and also baby blue for the quotes on the image to make it more colourful. another part of these pages i have changed are the quotes included on top of the image as i have now used the font BlairMdICT TT this is because it wasn't very clear when i used the font Zapfino. i have used the fonts Zapfino and BlairMdICT TT throughout the double page spread. the image i have used is of the artist (modeled by my sister) and i have put into the black and white effect because i think that is looks really effective and creates a magazine look.

development of front cover

this here is the first stage of my front cover. the model used is my sister, jessica white. i have edited the image by putting it into a black and white effect; for the title  i used the font blairmdITC TT and i used a pale pink to make it stand out well, and placed it on top of the page. i have included the barcode, date of issue and the price on the bottom of the cover to show the audience what issue it is and price.


this is the next stage into creating my front cover. i have now included a strapline on top of the cover which repeats ' the uk's biggest monthly music magazine'. i have included my leading caption which is introducing the new artists i have created and will be completeing an article on.













at this stage i have really added or changed much as you can see but i have added a slogan ' top 40 inside' which i hope will convince people to buy my music magazine and let it stand out from the other music magazines.

on this stage i have included six subheadings which gives the reader an idea of what is going to be inside my magazine and should convince them to buy my magazine. i have used a pale pink, baby blue, black and white to colour the text and give some colour to the front colour so they can also stand out.

development of contents page

this is the background i have chose for my contents page. i have used gradient, effect and colour tools to create a fading effect of black, grey and then white as these are the main colours of my colour theme. 

next i added my title and my images. i have used the font blairmdITC TT for the title and i have mixed the lettering around to make it look better and give it more style. the images i have used are of my sisters dunks which i have repeated four times in a line down the side of the page. at first i was going to do a collage of different things associated with music, for example instrumentals, other artists etc, but i decided that i wanted to use these images as i think they look great.

in this image as you can see i havnt really edited much but i have decided to change the colouring of the title because there was too much white in the page which made it look quite plain so seen as though purple is my main colour in my colour theme i have used the colour purple; however i have left the last letter 's' white as i think this will look alot better then having all the letters purple, it gives it a more 'cool' look.

this here is what i have completed so far for my contents page as you can see i have changed quite a few things, firstly i have changed the images as they are now of other artists which are going to be included in my magazine because they make the page look like it is included inside a music magazine as it has varies artist on it; also i have changed the colours of the title but still kept the layout of it because i thought that the purple colour looked pretty dull so i instead i have chosen to use baby blue and pale pink which means my colour theme has now changed too. 'march 2010: touch' is now included on this page next to the title as they shows the reader that it is the march 2010 issue and the name of the magazine is touch.
