Developed Music Magazine



For this developed version of my music magazine I have made several changes. Firstly, and most significantly I have changed the font colour of some of the text on the front cover and contents page, the effect of this being that certain topics and items stand out a lot more, for example the band name 'Young Guns' on the front cover, so that audience members who are familiar with the band will instantly know that they are featured within the magazine. Also I have rearranged the images for my double page spread, in order to help make each image more seperated so that they are significantly clearer, and I have also changed the fliter on the image on the first page of my double page spread so that it is clearer, as the original filter blurred the image slightly, and so I have removed this and merely used a greyscale effect.

Masthead Ideas For Music Magazine


I have stuck to typical conventions of modern music magazines, in which the masthead is incredibly short, no more than a couple of words long. Here the ideas I have had are either sharp, impacting words such as 'Havoc' or 'Collision', which create a sense of aggression to reflect the nature of the music featured in the magazine, or bery short statements such as 'Start Something' or 'Come Alive', which both create the feel of a break of convention associated with the magazine, again reflecting the musical content featured. The idea '28 Beats Later' is a play on words reltating to the films '28 Days Later' and '28 Weeks Later', altered here to relate to a musical genre. I have decided to use the idea 'Havoc' as the final masthead, as I feel it suits all of the conventions for my magazine, and definitely reflects the musical content featured with the magazine.
