Construction of my Music Magazine

Front Cover
![Page 3: Construction of my music magazine](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560d746d8b42a13088b55fc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1. I started off by making my ‘canvas’ A4 and adding the image at the same size. 2. I then edited my picture
using the ‘poster edges’ filter

I added my masthead with a drop shadow, for extra effect I made the ‘F’ bright red.
The drop shadow adds emphasis to the masthead and lifts off the page

The next thing I added to my front cover was the name of the band featured in my double page spread.
I made the name of my band red because it stands out like the ‘F’ in the masthead but not as bright because I don't want it to draw as much attention.

To make the content indicators easier to read and help them lift off the page.
I also made sure that the colour of the content indicators matched the House Style.

The first copy I added was the date and issue number and some vague content indicates on a runner along the bottom of the page.

I then added the rest of the copy and made sure they were in a contrasting colour to the background.

Contents Page
![Page 11: Construction of my music magazine](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560d746d8b42a13088b55fc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
I first made my contents page in A4
![Page 12: Construction of my music magazine](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560d746d8b42a13088b55fc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
After creating my page I used the rectangle tool to lay out my page in white.
![Page 13: Construction of my music magazine](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560d746d8b42a13088b55fc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
After creating my boxes I filled them with the colours that follow my house style.
![Page 14: Construction of my music magazine](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560d746d8b42a13088b55fc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The next step I took was to place an image of my main article into the largest box and add the word Contents in bold writing and gave it a drop shadow to lift it off the page.
![Page 15: Construction of my music magazine](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560d746d8b42a13088b55fc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
I then added the page numbers for each article and the website for the magazine.
![Page 16: Construction of my music magazine](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560d746d8b42a13088b55fc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
After this I added all the copy I had written to describe the articles and made sure the font and colour followed the house style. I chose this
lay out because it gave the page immediate structure with the main article taking pole position on the page.

Double page Spread
![Page 18: Construction of my music magazine](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560d746d8b42a13088b55fc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
I started by making my page A3 and orientating it horizontally.

The next thing I did was to insert my edited picture onto my page so that it took up a fair bit of space to attract the readers.
![Page 20: Construction of my music magazine](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560d746d8b42a13088b55fc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The way in which I constructed my double page spread is very similar way to my contents page by creating blocks to put my copy in.

I added a title and a tag line for the issue in the right colours to follow the house style of my magazine.
![Page 22: Construction of my music magazine](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5560d746d8b42a13088b55fc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
I typed out all of the copy I had written and had proof checked into the columns in the right font and colour.

To finish off the article and break up the white space .
