Current Items

Contents
Next is my Contents page. I have used the same arrow and grey scale theme as I did with the front cover to keep the theme constant. With the pictures at the side and the bold arrows I have tilted them back. I think this draws the readers eyes to the main picture more than if they were plane.
Double Page Spread

Contents page Development


As you can see the largest arrow on the page I have added a gradient effect on it. I thought this looked a lot better than just keeping it plain.

I added the word 'contents' on the largest arrow and tilted that with the arrow so that it will point towards the picture and again attract the readers eye to the main article. I also added a glow to the outside of the white arrows. These I plan to have the main article information on them.

Front Cover Development

Double Page Spread Mock up 1 + 2

This is the layout I intend to use for my double page spread. Although as you can see the two pages dont link. In order to make them link I have made the masthead overlap the two pages. This ensures that both pages look like they belong together. I have also added an article quote that goes over the both pages which links them together.

For the second mock up I added some 'poleriods' in the corner.
Contents Mock up 1

This is an idea for the layout of the contents page. I like the idea of the main article being again the biggest picture on the page although if this is the same as the front cover then it maybe more repetative. Ivwe kept the theme of the arrows from my first front cover mock up to get an idea of a running theme throughout the magazine. The arrows also point to the main picture which help it to stand out amoung other items on the page.
The sub article pictures at the side I have tilted backwards to give room for the main picture and so that the first thing they draw to on the page is the main article and not the less important articles. Again I have put sub article information in arrows pointing to the pictures the information relates to.
For the word contents in the top left cvorner I will use the same font as the name of the magazine on the front cover.

Music Magazine Mock up 1

Mock Up/Idea for layout of the magazine

This is another mock up for the front cover of my music magazine. On this mock up I have messed around with the layout. I am still not happy with the layout and I think the background of the magazine needs more work as at the moment it looks to plain. I like the idea as the image been in the centre of the page which creates a focus point on the page. Although as the background is to plain im thinking that maybe taking a photo and then using that as the background.
The boxes that the artice information is in I like because this makes the information stand out. Especially if I use a photo in the background because some text may be have to read.
