Magazine drafts


Front Cover
This is the draft for my front cover of my music magazine. The masthead is slightly overlapped by the image. This makes it look as thought the magazine is a well known music magazine and the masthead can be easily recognised by the audience so it doesn't need to be shown fully. Overlapping the image their is a heading, this tells the audience who and what the main image is. Underneath the heading the subheading is shown. This gives brief details into what the main focus is about and describes some of the main eature inside. There are two other features situated at the bottom of the page. This gives the audience a brief insight into some of the articles included within the magazine.

Contents Page
This is the draft for my contents page. The magazines masthead is situated in the left hand corner of the page. This reminds the audience of the magazines title and this feature is presented throughout the magazine. The heading "contents" tells the audience what the features on the page are representing. The main focus on the page is the image. This is situated on the left hand side of the page and takes over about three quaters of the page. The page number of the feature presentedby the image is placed in the bottom right hand corner of the image. Above this is some detail into what the image is about. To the right and bottom of the main image there are blocks of features which list the contents of the magazine and the page numbers of where the articles can be found.


Double Page Spread
This is the draft for my double page spread. The main article is title is situated to the top right of the spread but dominates over three quaters of the spread. It overlaps the image which is the main focus of the spread. To the left of the image the text is situated. It has been layed out into two columns with a pull quote siuated half way down the second column. The first letter of the article has been enlarged so it helps the audience to focus on the text itself. The image itself flows over both pages, starting on the left hand side of the spread and goes over to centre line to the other side.
