Music Magazine cover notes

Music magazine covers

The image

• If there is a person/group on the cover, what do they represent? 
• Are they a stereotype?
• How has this stereotype been constructed?

The gaze

• The gaze refers to the direction in which the person on the cover is looking.
• Are they looking straight to the audience?
• Are they smiling?-enticing the reader in?
• Do they look friendly or cool?
• Do they look seductive?

No more than five models should be used.

Allowed to use real bands if you know them and they're reliable

• Explain the role that you think your magazine will play in the lives of it's readers

School Magazine contents page finished

for the 3rd draft/finished copy I have added coloured boxes around the page information, mainly to separate them and to draw the reader into reading them, I've also added a a page reference over the picture, I changed the colour of that to yellow as opposed to red, as the red wasn't aesthetically pleasing and didn't draw readers attention.

Contents page draft 2

This is my second computerised draft (using InDesign), I've added colour to the masthead and added some pages, I've decided to make the page numbers bolder and in a different colour so they stand out more 

Contents draft

This is my drawn up rough idea of what my contents page will hopefully look like, I had to add it after the first computerised draft due to issues with cameras and things. I think it'll look good with a bit of colour added and a picture added, I've decided to only use one picture as I find just having one is the most effective and having more clutters up the page.
