Double Page Spread - Final Product and Personal Response

This is my final double page spread, and I am pleased with the way it has turned out. I think it definitely fits with a musical genre and appears mature and sophisticated. I think it links nicely to my contents and cover page as the colour scheme is the same throughout. I decided to alter some of the fonts for my double page as I wanted to distinguish for the audience that it is definitely a double page, and certain features need to stand out (for example, the heading and sub heading). However, I kept some of the fonts the same because I want all three of my pages to link together as much as possible to keep the professionalism of the magazine.

Contents Page - Final Product and Personal Response

This is my finished contents page, and I like how it has come together. I believe I have included all the features necessary. I think by including images of a band with a guitar and photos from a music concert, I have successfully made my contents page look like it is from a music magazine and not a fashion one. I think the layout looks effective, for example, the majority of the writing is on one side and the more important images are on the other, so there is a nice divide down the middle of the page. I like the fact that this page is not too chaotic, but is busy enough to resemble a music magazine.

Front Cover - Final Product and Personal Response

This is my final front cover, and I am very happy with the result. I think I have successfully created a cover that fits with a musical genre, and appeals to a target demographic of people aged 16-35. I believe I have included everything that is required from a magazine cover, for example a masthead, selling line, cover lines, images, bar code, price etc. I believe it has come together effectively, and looks like a real magazine cover.

Album Cover - Final Choice

After much thought, I finally decided on this cover for the album as I think it looked the best when the text was added, and I like how the microphone can be seen clearly. I also think that the position of Francesca on the cover (for instance you can see her shoulders then everything above), looks the most professional as the image is in the perfect place.

Potential Album Covers

I added the text to my favourite pictures from the shoot to see which one would look best on an album cover. I made the text pink because I like how it is similar to the colour of Francesca's lips - I think this brings the whole look of the album cover together and makes it look very professional.

Edited Album Cover Images

I edited my favourite images from the photo shoot for potential album covers on Photoshop - again, I changed the brightness, contrast and vibrance of the photos as I think this is the best way to make them look as professional as possible.

Album Covers

I did another photo shoot with Francesca because I wanted to gather some images to create an album cover for on my double page spread. This will fit with my article story as it is about her releasing a new album. I wanted her to use a microphone to show that she is a singer and not a fashion model, and this will also confirm to the audience that my magazine is a musical one and doesn't have a fashion genre.
