Third Front Cover Design

Here is my third go at a front cover for my magazine. I really like this as it has a cool and weird background. I also like the edge with the tribal flowers. All I need to do now is to take a photo shoot of my band and then I can finish and start on my contents and double page spread. XD

Second magazine Idea

This my second mock up for my music magazine. I have used this background just to get an idea of what will look good when I add a prper background to the current masthead. I like this background image as it has all the colour scheme and loudness of a music magazine based around heavy metal !!!!!!

First magazine idea post (masthead)

This is my first idea of how my masthead will look on my magazine front cover. I have used the chosen colour scheme and the chosen font that my target audience chose for me. I have asked people what they think of it so far and I have had no bad feedback as of yet. :)

Colour schemes

This is what my main colour scheme is going to be for my metal music magazine. I have asked my target audience what they thought of this scheme and all have said that it fits in with what I am doing for the genre wise as they are dark and mysterious colours which are subject to my style of magazine.
Next thing on the agenda is to start mocking up my front covers. See ya soon !!!

Fonts For My Music Magazine

These are the fonts that I decided would look good on a metal magazine cover however I could only really use one so I asked 5 people which one they would choose from my target audience and as you can see the 4th one down got the most votes which means that it will be the main font used throughout the magazine and I may use the other scoring font somewhere within the magazine.

Possible Titles For A Metal Music Magazine

This is a chart to show how my titles were chosen and rated by my target audience, which in this case is people who listen to rock music magazines. As you can see from this document you can see that the title "The Asylum" is the title that got the most choice and is what I will use for my Magazine final project. This title is effective as it is a dark and different title which is unusual just like the music style.

Final Preliminary documents !!!1

 

These are the two final copies of the cover for the school magazine and the contents page for my magazine. I have received feedback and have found out that these are good for a school magazine for pupils and parents. I am happy with these as I find them really eye catching and believe that I would read it myself. The yellow colours of the cover and the blue colour have come from the actual school logo so that they fit in with the school colours theme. Also the contents pageis simple and only tells the reader about the main topics. This is something that I would change as it does not give the reader information about what is inside the magazine itself.

Preliminary Contents Page Mock Up

Here is a first mock up of my contents page for my preliminary task which is to create a front cover and a contents page for a school magazine. The feedback for this magazine was that it was too simple and the text needed to change font. However the images and the title were good to keep for my next one.
