At the tops of both pages I will have slugs reading "Interview, five minute rant". They will be in reverse colours, so one side will orange on white and the other white on orange.

In this plan the main images will be on the inside of the page and their interviews will be on the outside. At the bottom of the images will be a write up about each artist. The interviews on each page may be in the oppsite colours, like the slugs, to keep in theme with the double page.

The slugs will be written in the Airstream font to in theme with the rest of the magazine. The artists names will appear at the side of them and will be in the Berlin Sans font, they will also be in opposite colours. The interview will be written in Arial font as I think that this will be easy to read and because there is probably going to be a lot of writing thwe font should be very basic, so consumers aren't put of.

This layout may change depending on the length of the interviews, but all the fonts and colours should stay the same.

Table of Contents mockup

Table of Contents mockup

The contents at the top of the page will written in Airstream font. I have picked this font because I wanted it to run thorughout my magazine.
Down the left hand side will be all the features that will come up in the magazine. These will most likely be in one of the fonts that has been used on the cover to keep this running through as well.
On the right side will be the page numbers for the featrues and this will also be written in the same fonts. Dotted around the page will be pictures that are going to illustrate what the features are.

I'm not entirely sure about this layout and how it will work and look so it may change during the course of the development of the contents page.

Front Cover mockup

Front Cover mockup

The masthead will read 'Rocky Roads' and will written in Airstream font. I have picked this font because I think that it most goes well for the genre of music I have chosen and had quite a flowing look.

Down the left hand side of the cover will be the kickers and the explanatory lines accompanyed by an miage illustrasting the feature.

There will also be a main image that will take up all the cover and the other features will placed on top of it.

The barcode and issue number have still to be decided on where they are going, but they are most likely to go underneath the masthead or at the bottom of the page in the right hand corner.

The fonts that will used on the front cover are Arial and Berlin Sans. I think that it is a good idea to only use a limited amount of fonts becasue otheriwse the page will become to cluttered and complex to read and consumers won't be that interested in purchasing it.

DPS Presentation
This presentation is basically talks about my DPS analysis but looks at it from a more visual prespective. There aren't many notes on it as I did most of the talking.
I think that this was good practise for the final presentation that will be filmed, and I think that there are quite a few things that can be improved, one of them being my confidence when talking to people.

DPS Analysis x2

DPS Analysis

This analysis is looking at two double page spreads in two different magazines. It talks about the language that is used in them both and any similarites and differences between them.

Masthead Research

Masthead Research

I already knew what font I wanted for my front cover and so I only had to decide what the magazine was to be called.

I came up with five different mastheads that all had 'Rock' mentioned in them. I thought that this would be a good idea as the theme of the music magazine was rock music. I thought that by having the genre of music in the masthead it would make it more easier for consumers to identify the type of magazine it was and therefore they could see if they were interested in it before purchasing it.

Front Cover Analysis x2

This piece was created at the start of the project and is looking at two different magazines and analysing the different features that appear in them.

Questionnaire

These are the questions that I asked a random group of people as I wanted to see who would buy my magazine and the types of things that they would want to see in it.

I asked them about the colours they would prefer and the types of articles or reviews they would like to see.

I think that by doing this I got to see what consumers would want and if they would beinterested in the magazine.
