FIRST DRAFT.

After planning out, organising and drafting the first draft of my magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread, i feel i have successfully completed this draft and have used my target audience to do this.

After reading the feedback from my questionnaire i decided the right way to go with a house style was to use bright and bold colours in which i have chosen my main colours to be bright yellow and blue. For my front cover i used an image that featured my model in direct mode of address as when i was researching into similar products i was inspired by the amount of magazines that did this with their artist. Also on my front cover, i have featured a skyline, to offer something in the magazine, a puff to also offer something to the readers, a mast head, in which i decided was to be STARSINYOUREYES, a main cover line,inspired by a version off billboard magazine, other cover lines to show what else is featured in the magazine and typically a bar code,price and date,

For my contents page i was again inspired by billboard magazine, i used a 'featured' tab on the left hand side of the page that shows all the most interesting stories and other artists in the magazine, i also featured my band in the bottom half of the magazine to show it is not as a significant story as my main artist but is still interesting. i have also included a subscription offer for the readers on the contents page.

My double page spread was inspired by Q magazine, i included an image of my main artist on the left and the artists featured story on the right with a faded out P in the background to gain more significance for my artist.

in saying this, here is my first draft that i feel all my planning has paid off for.
