Front page.. Final design

This is my front page, what do you think?
I decided to use font that already exists because the ones I designed myself did not go with my music genre. I decided to keep the front page simply so it could be easy to read. I think my colour scheme goes well with my genre as it relates to both males and females.

Contents page.. final design

This is my contents page.. the final design. what do you think??
My main headings fonts I chose from in design because the ones I designed myself did not go with my genre of music. The font of the text is clear and easy to read. I decided not to put that much writing because the DPS will have all the information.

Front page..So far

This is my front page of my magazine so far, what do you think??
I still need to add a puff at the bottom. I need to change my cover line because it is too long!!!

Contents page Picture ideas

These were done on Photoshop :))))) I wanted to add an edge to my magazine so I wanted each picture to be different, but i only ended up using a couple but I think its makes my magazine more Urban and raw.

Additional Photos for my contents page

I took these pictures because they go with my genre of music I chose, I took a range of pictures because I chose to put 3 genres together. I wanted to mix dubstep (sound decks). dubstep is all about sound and bass so the pictures I took I thought were relevant to that. rnb (Piano) adding the soul to the magazine with is different to any other magazine published with rap (Mic). this goes with the events I put in my magazine such as open Mic nights.

Plan for my DPS

I will have the image on one side and the article on the other side, this will make it more interesting for the readers.

Concept

I want my models to be natural with a black expression on their faces, I want them to walk around and do simple movements. I want them to look straight down the camera to connect with the audience and to capture the moment. I want them to sit on the floor and crouch to give that feeling of my genre.

Newsstand task

 

The magazines are neatly placed and very organised into different category which makes it easier to find and purchase. All the mastheads are visible. men's magazines are placed at the top and children magazines are at the bottom so they can be at eye level. One magazine has a sign saying 'free clutch bag' this attracts the customers which is also at eye level.

 There are different ways to distribute magazines, through application on phones and computers, magazines can be mailed if you get a subscription.
