Title Block Results

This is the title block design that got the most votes in the poll. I did end up choosing this title block because I know it is popular with the audience and I think it was the best one out of the four.

Mood Board Evaluation

Mood Board

This is a mood board made up of different music magazine front covers. I made this mood board because it helped me see the variety there is and the difference between the magazines. This then helped me discover what one I liked the most and determine what I wanted my front cover to look like.

Double page spread mood board

The typical conventions of a double page spread are a large image,   a quote,the feature of the articles name somewhere on the page, a 'stand’ which is a small explanation at the beginning of the article explaining what it is about. Text, images, headline,by-lines, colour scheme, drop capital and quotes. These features will usually always be on a double page spread.

Mood Board - contents page

This is a mood board of different contents pages taken from magazine with the same or similar genres to mine. They all have most of the typical contents page conventions. The conventions of contents pages are, one main image; this is usually linking to the feature article in your magazine. Other smaller images ,page numbers on the images, telling the audience where they will find the article about the person in the images, the name of the magazine somewhere on the page, the main title ‘Contents’. Subheadings such as ‘news’, ‘features’ ,subscription and contact information, editors letter and the same house style as the rest of the magazine.
By researching other contents pages and learning more about the conventions I am able to use them in my own contents page.

Initial title block design

There are my four initial title block designs, I will be using one of these for my music magazine depending on the results of my poll.

This is my magazine proposal. After my plan I did a focus group who gave me feedback about my plan and what they thought should change. This helped me put together my proposal.
