Draft article for magazine interview.

Magazine Article Draft

Comments and responses to my blog.

The responses and comments from other media students and teachers have all been taken on board. They have all helped improve my work so far and give me confidence with my ideas and research i have put into the magazine to make it work.

Survey on my magazine.

These are the results from the survey i created hoping to find valid information to help improve my magazine. Overall the results are positives and helpful. I have concluded that i shall make my music magazine monthly and I'm going to give it a price range between £3-£5 thanks to this research i have done.

Magazine mock up.

This is my mock up for my cover page design. i was influenced by I-D magazine to place my magazine title in the top left hand corner of the page on its side going down the page, i find this really effective and unique. As i have chosen my magazine style to be simplistic i kept my cover page simply, with a masthead, main image filling the whole page and a cover line. 

This is my mock up of my contents page. i was influenced by the contents pages i research, i haven't placed the word contents page on here because i want it to look simplistic and unique. the layout is pretty basic, iv only used one image which i was debating weather to place filling the whole page half of the page or just in the right hand side at the top of the page. i found this look really effective, with more information on the contents page about the pages in my magazine.

This is a mock up of my double page spread, again iv kept it simply. Iv used just the one image filling the whole left and side page and using little quotes on both pages to attract the readers to read the full article. while i have placed the title of the interview at the top of the right hand side page and my magazine title small in the right hand corner which will be on ever page of the magazine as well as the page number too.

Weekly target.

My target for this week is to create my band profile from my research i have found, then start drafting ideas for magazine designs and layouts complete all mock up designs on paper and designing a pretend photo shop version with pretend images and text found online, just to start playing around and showing potential ideas. Possible design and survey to help with research for my magazines tarts direct from the audience of my magazine and respond to any comments on my blog from teachers or other students also comment back on their blogs to help them with improvements. I need to start writing and finishing my article draft with inspiration from magazines like clash and ID, their article language and style. I even need to start preparing and researching for my first photo shoot for my magazine draft.

Fashion.

I have decided that i want fashion to be appearing in my magazine, although it is a music magazine it also advertises fashion along with adverts throughout the magazine. These are examples of the type of indie/alternative fashion that will be shown in my magazine and the brands that would appear at zara, american appeal, topshop, top man, well gosh, clarks, hot mess, river island.
