For my research I have looked at

a few different magazines one

beingQ, I choose to researchQ

because it is the same genre and

hs a very neat, stylish

appearance. Q is a monthly music magazine

published monthly by Bauer

Media Group in the UK and

was first published October

1986 U

sual features includeTheQ50, Cash for Questions, TenCommandments and Rewind


4/26

I have also researched NME this Ihave also researched for its genrebut less on general appearance.

NME is a weekly publishedmagazine since March 1952 intheUK

It was the first British paper toinclude a singles chart

In the 1970s it became the best-

selling British music magazine NME is part of IPC Media

company


5/26

KERRANG! Has more of a rockmusic genre compared to Q andNME. I choose to researchKERRANG! Because of its eye-catching features. KERRANG! Is also published by

Bauer Media Group and was firstpublished June 1981

KERRANG! Is a weekly magazine KERRANG! Although being

mainly rock keeps to amainstream genre for a wideraudience appeal

These front covers feature: Very bold,eye-catching

colours and mastheads Strong images of artist or

band A recognisable house-style Skyline Little copy Dateline Unique selling points

features on certainartists/bands Barcodes Issue numbers

For my front cover I wanted apicture that you looked at andinstantly thought music, I includedthe guitar to represent this. I alsoneeded it to fit the genre of

alternative/rock so I have themodel wearing darker clothing. Ishot in a music studio hoping toget some more atmosphere butthat wasnt the case so I cut out thebackground to make it plain.

When I looked at images on frontcovers of other magazine I noticeda lot of them, including the LilyAllen one on Q, they had a fadegrey to white background on quitea few of them so I added that in onphotoshop.


8/26

These photos I will put onmy cover as a preview to afeature in the magazine.KERRANG! And NME bothdo this it grabs the

attention of more readersbecause theres more thanone story on the front.These photos I did not editas they were live picturesand I wanted to keep the

atmosphere of the concertin these photos.


9/26

I started with the image I edited on Photoshopand moved it into InDesign. I then got a font offof dafont.com (pieces of eight) I wanted aheavy relatively gothic font likeKERRANG! Formy masthead I continued this font on thewebsite and issue number. I added a second font

for the lead article because its a band name so Igave them their own font. I also used Times asthe font for the other articles because its clearand also stands out quite a lot.To make the masthead stand out more I put aheavy outline and a drop shadow. This also

gives it a more grungy feeling. For the otherfonts I continued the outline and kept within thehouse colours of red, black and white. For theJASIS I also used a drop shadow to make itstand out as it is the lead article.


10/26

This is my first layoutfor the front coverbut I dontparticularly thinkeverything looks inthe right place. I alsothink it looks tooempty. But I like theEurope on tour puff.

This is my second attempt at thelayout of my magazine. I added a

strapline and a skyline likeKERRANG! have because it looksmore professional. I continued thesame font as the masthead to make ita house-font and be used throughoutthe magazine.


11/26

These are three options for my layout of my front cover I also think it is still alittle bit blank and have planned to add another picture onto the front. So thatwill affect which layout I choose. I think when I add the other picture I willprefer the second layout because it will look moreeven.

Main image Magazine name Subsections Subscription offers Page numbers Editors note Features Regulars House-style continued

through Band index Brief description of whats

14/26

For the photos for mycontents page I carriedover one of the smallerpictures on the front coverto emphasise that story

and make it have moreimportance.I have also choose apromotional picture toinclude on my contentspage. I choose to do an

offer so more readers willsubscribe to the monthlymagazine.

the side ready for the copytobeput in.


16/26

This is my contents page with allof the text. I have kept the maincontents in the house font butthe Europe on tour part is keptthe same font as it had on the

front cover. I have used 2 typesof the house font on the maincontents. I have put the mainparts in red with black outline tomake them stand out more andthen the descriptions in black

with no outline to make themmore subtle.

18/26

These are two double page spread interviews from KERRANG!. Large main images (taking up one side A4) Large headlines in a few different fonts 2 font colours Panel of extras


19/26

For my double pagespread I have chosen tocontinue with the JASISrecorded only on aniPhone article. I have

chosen one of the otherpictures from therecording studio shoot.For this I cropped thebackground out and madeit black so that the colouron the page of the doublepage spread will be blackas well. Like in theexamples they havecoloured backgrounds.


20/26

This is the layout Iam going to use formy double pagespread. I have used a

large A4 picture anda bold large headline.I have also includinga box in the corner tobreak up the page alittle bit.


21/26

When I put in themain text I decided tochange the layoutquite a bitjust to makeit look more similar totheexamples and to

make it look less toread because before itlooked too weighty onthe copy.I have stuck with thesame JASIS font as on

the front cover. Thenhave put in Times

font for the subheading because its very clear and was used for the otherheadings on the front cover. For the copy I used Cambria because its a veryclear font. I have stuck to the house-style for colours.

Large image of artist

Release date CD cover Large name of artist

I will copy the layout of this

advert to an extent.


24/26

I chose this imagebecause it showsdifferent emotions andit quiteeerie. It suitsthe genre of the

magazine. I croppedthe original and madeit black and white. Ialso put the contrast upto make the faces standout more.


25/26

PRAXIS1. Practical application or exercise of a

branch of learning.2. Habitual or established practice; custom.

I used the font SteinAntik forthe band name because itlooks neat but uneven and

because praxis is theapplication of learning italmost looks like learning towrite in a clear and neat way.

I chose the album title to besilent movies because in theimage I have chosen it looksas if the person is trying tospeak and also is black andwhite like in silent movies.
