What I put in my article

This is the writing that I used in my article for my double page spread. I did it in an interview style because it gave me a lot more to write about because I could ask what questions I wanted and talk about different things such as what they had been up to. Interviews also attract people because it is information that the artist/band is telling you themselves so it is more believable therefore more people will want to read it.

Second Draft of Double Page Spread

Here I have changed the layout of the article by having it all on one side of the spread. I have also enlarged the image to highlight the fact that this article is all about Shannon. I have changed the page number to red so that it stands out on the white background more.

First Draft Double Page Spread

This is my first draft of my double page spread. There are a few points in which I want to improve such as making the image bigger because it shows that the article is all about her. I also want to make the page number red so that it stands out more. 

Unused Contents Pictures

 I didn't use this picture because it is slightly blurry which would look unprofessional in a real magazine.

I didn't use this picture because I didn't think it suited the storyline very well since they are meant to be having fun.

I didnt use this image because I wanted more of a live shot of the band working on their music and I feel like this is too staged. 

Contents Page Second Draft

On my second draft I have changed the 'Pay just £1.99 an issue' from yellow to red so that it fits in with the colour scheme and stands out against the black background. I have also cut out the image of Izzy on the drums because it didn't look very professional as her head was cut out of the shot which is something I can improve on. 

Contents Page First Draft

This is my first draft of my contents page. I am quite pleased with it however I think I need to change the yellow writing to red so that it fits in with my colour scheme. I also need to change or edit the image of Izzy with the drums because her head is cut off and it looks unprofessional. 

First music magazine front cover draft

This is my first draft of my music magazine cover. I decided to use the colours red, white and black because they fit together really well however I think I need to make sure that you can still read the writing as sometimes the black text blends in with the clothes which could make it difficult for people to read. I also I also think that I need to make sure the plug is more visible as it it there to attract people to buy the magazine. I think the main image is relevant because Shannon is holding a guitar which tells the audience immediately know that it is a music magazine. Overall I think my first draft is okay, I just need to make a few improvements so that it is completely clear.
