This is how I started my magazine, I went with a very different font on the masthead, but I stuck to the “Bebas” font for the cover lines throughout the end. I cropped the picture carefully and added some more hair so none of the background can be seen. I was not too sure on the grey and white background as it was a rock magazine.

I decided to blow up the picture as I was unsure of the background colour and I really liked it. I also changed the masthead font as it was more appropriate for the genre and stood out more.

This is a major change, i gave the masthead an outline or red and black I also added in the date, a simple puff and barcode. I also played around with the lighting and contrast of the picture to make her stand out and look more vampire-like with the pale skin and red lips I also made her eye makeup darker and airbrushed the face.

This was the final look of my front cover where I added a little “Win something” at the top to make readers want to buy this magazine I also did the WIN in yellow so it is one of the first things they see. I also added in the additional artists for the coverlines.

Here is how I started my contents page, i was also unsure of the background colour here so I decided to leave it white and cover most the page with artists, I covered these with some pictures I took of my friends.

I decided to stretch the AMPED cover the top of the page and I decided to give a black border like how I did to the “Features” on my front cover. I also added a large picture I took of my sisters boyfriend playing at a gig when I went.

This is my complete contents page, which is set out clearly with numbers and artists name written in larger letters with some information.

These are the two pictures I used for my double page spread to show that the artist has two sides like she has quoted in the interview. I manipulated the image with the colours and gradient and airbrushed them to give a professional look to them.

I decided to position the pictures this way so when you open the magazine the picture will be on one side and the text will be on the other I also decided to put the opaque A to add more of an effect and so it doesn’t look too plain.

This is how it looked after adding all the text and interview, as you can see I followed the black white and red colour scheme even the artist and the clothes.

This is the final look of my double page spread after adding the quote in the middle which fit perfect and I did that in a different font and in capital letters so its one of the first things they read after seeing the picture as it related to the picture.
