IDEAS FOR MY MAGAZINE

By Abbie Field

Brief

for my main task I have been asked to produce the front page, contents page and first double page spread of a new music magazine. I will use Photoshop to manipulate my images and I shall use in design to help me with my layout features.

Kerrang magazine

These are some covers from Kerrang magazine that I would like to use for inspiration. I would like to use the way they advertise their main story by using the people involvedAs my main image and have to title in the middle of the page.

Rolling stone magazine coversThese are covers from rolling stones magazine and I would like to use the colour scheme because it is simple, sophisticated and it eye catching.

magazine contents page

I like the way this contents Page is laid out because it is veryBusy and it looks interesting. SoI would like to use the idea of having a busy contents page.

Various magazine articles

I would like to use the idea of using the image as a background for my Article like it does in the first articleOn the right of the page.In the second article I like the way there is a quote anchoring the picture helping to explain what is happening inThe article.
