Magazine Final Piece

Here is my final Magazine cover, contents and DPS pages:

Front Cover

This is my final front cover. I decided to use a different picture to my 1st draft as i had difficulty keeping to the rule of thirds when all of the models were on different levels, and so i used a more simple picture where there is still a level change but it is not too drastic, this way i kept to the rule of thirds and was able to keep the picture and models central. This also then emphasised the direct address of the photo as they are all clearly looking at the camera with a 'moody' expression this is a trope of rock music and so the viewer can instantly see that this is not a light-hearted magazine. I called it 'Six Strings' in order to show the readers that this is a guitar based music magazine, as guitars has 'Six Strings'. The colour scheme is red white and blue, and when i got feedback on it, some said that it reminded them of Mod. Mod is a subculture that originated in London and had a Royal Air Force roundel which is a Mod symbol. Mod has been associated with many genres one being rock.

Contents Page

This is my final production of my contents page, i again decided to change to picture, i still stuck with the guitar theme, however i noticed that the problem with the previous picture was the part i took a photo of, so i decided to take a couple more photos of different parts of the guitar, that is how i came across this picture i decide to use this one as it not only gives of a music and rock vibe but it also fits in with the masthead on the front cover which is 'Six Strings' this way the magazine has more fluidity.

Double Page Spread


As you can see this is my final draft of my double page spread and i have made some slight changes, one being the picture, i found the previous one looked quite squashed on and it was hard to get everyone in the frame so i decided to go for this one where everyone is central., I then changed some of the positions of the text which made sure that no words were being cut of.
