Contents mock up

Contents Mock Up

View more documents from guestc1162f4.

My contents page mock-up is the last page left of my music magazine which i have to create. in order to make this page merge with the rest of my magazine pages, i will have to keep the colour scheme of white, navy blue, grey and black. I will make this page very similar to my DPS in that i will have the background black with the white writing.

Firstly, the word 'CONTENTS' will be written in exactly the same form as the title on my DPS. This is because it is clear to read and will keep my magazine consistent.

Secondly, the quick blurb about Nik Mimic will feature underneath the title as that is the main feature article. I will also feature a picture next to this to make the contents page look more appealing. The text for this will be in a box to make it stand out from the rest of the contents page and to emphasize that it is the most important thing.

The four pictures on the left side of the page are going to be slightly disaligned becaus ethe rest of the contents page is straight so this will make it look more exciting and inviting. The four images will coinside with my contents pages written on the right side.

The contents pages will have headings which are; GIGS n RAVES, NEWS and EXCLUSIVE. These three words seprerate the pages so whichever section the reader wants to look at they can just see the pages which go under those three headings rather than having to find the pages that interest them.

The editors note at the bottom of the page is important as all magazines have this on their contents page. This allows the reader to have a wuick blurb of what they can expect in this issue and what is planned ahead for the following issue.

DPS final draft

My final draft of the DPS is not much different to my first draft. Firstly i had to change where the page number was (from the left-hand corner to the right) because there was too much going on on the left page.

Secondly, i added a slug at the top left-hand corner because this is a magazine convention that i missed out which is essential to make my DPS look as realistic as possible. My slug says 'FEATURE ARTICLE' so the reader knows that this is the main kicker article from my front cover.

Lastly, i added some finishing text at the end of the interview to close it off. This has information about how to get all of his new songs and gives the webpage where you can get that information from; his twitter and myspace.

DPS first draft

This is my first draft of my DPS. The image i used is the same model as my front cover to keep the trend going throughout the magazine. To edit the image, i used gaussian blur to give the airbrush effect. I then used a fading paintbrush in black to match the background colour of the left-hand side of the page. The fade was used to make the image merge with the other side of the page otherwise it looked too separate. After the fade, i used an eraser tool and erased any black which went on the models face in order to make him stand out even more.

The font used for the title is exactly the same as my front cover to keep the same flow and colour scheme throughout. I also believe that this font with the white border makes it stand out enormously and if any fans of this DJ were flicking through the magazine I'm sure it is bold enough for it to catch their eye and therefore they may decide to read the interview.

For the interview, i had to make it two columns instead of the original plan of three on my mock-up. This is because the writing looked to squeezed on the page and wasn't as appealing as it looks now. The interview is quite short but has all the information that is typically asked by an interviewee about a musician. I also decided to have the quote in large font becuase it's a humerous quote which will draw in the audience. This was also chosen as it sticks to the codes and conventions of a music magazine.

The page number at the bottom left hand corner is a reference from the contents page which i will be creating after this DPS is completed. Underneath the page number, the name of the magazine in underneath as i found that the majority of magazines also used this technique and i wanted my DPS to look as realistic as possible.

Double Page Spread Mock-Up

This is the basic outline for my double page spread (DPS). After looking at a few music magazines i have noticed a trend in all DPS' which is that they usually have the main image covering a whole side of the DPS (mostly right-hand side). From noticing that, I decided to also do this in order to stick to typical magazine codes and conventions. The text on the left hand side of the page will be an interview with the DJ Nik Mimic who stars on my front cover. the picture unerneath the middle coloum has been inserted to make the page not look so daunting and full of words and threfore making it more appealing to the target audience.
